Before you know it, you've raided the pantry or the fridge and are eating way more than you meant to. If this sounds familiar, then you may be struggling with emotional eating. But before you give up on yourself, there's one trick that may help: journaling. Here's how it works...

2. Write down how you're feeling, what caused the emotion, and what kind of food you're craving.
3. After writing everything down, try to find a way to address the underlying issue.
4. If possible, try to find a healthier way to deal with your emotions instead of turning to food.
