Is your eating emotional?

If you eat when you're feeling stressed, tired or angry, you're not alone. Many of us respond to emotions by overeating.

So how do you tell whether you're eating to soothe your emotions or just because you're hungry?

Diet-Blog.com recently posted 8 indicators of emotional eating from Roger Gould's Mastering Food. Among them: Your hunger comes on suddenly and you don't stop eating in response to being full.

Check out the full list and see if any of the indicators apply to you.

To be honest, pretty much the whole list has applied to me -- just in the last few weeks!!
