How Do I Stop Emotional Eating?

A MyObesityTeam Member asked a question 💭
St. Louis, MO

I eat when I am bored, I eat when I am tired, I eat when I am frustrated. I am constantly eating for reasons other than hunger. How do I stop? It's like it just slips under my radar and next thing I know, I have polished off a whole pie, or cookies or bag of potato chips.
