Are you an emotional eater/drinker? Do you turn to food/alcohol when you're happy/sad/bored/anxious/depressed? It's a biological fact food has the same effect on the brain (dopamine, etc) as illicit drugs. Only way to break the cycle of negative feelings then emotional eating/drinking which lead to more negative feelings is to replace the unhealthy behaviors with positive ones. Exercise being the best, because just 25mins of an intense activity can boost endorphins, good brain chemicals & hormones. Other things like taking a walk, a nap, journal ing, yoga, meditation are all other positive outlets instead of food & alcohol. Break the cycle!
