I saw an idea on a website today, that I quite liked. It was a website about being healthy, eating right, and getting a handle on your emotional eating. The idea was that with proper positive coaching from them, you could learn to work through your emotions to avoid the over-eating and stay in better physical health.
There was a particular concept they mentioned, that sounded interesting to me. They called it "Emotional Ammo", and it's basically a deck of cards where on one side, you've written the emotion, and on the other, approaches about what to do when you feel that emotion, so that you don't eat when you shouldn't. For instance, if you're lonely, reach out to others. If you're overwhelmed, stop and take a breath and start planning better. If you're angry, clean. The list goes on. I think there's definitely some truth to that.
Well, for only $60, you can buy this deck from the website. Eh - Pass on that. I really like the idea, but who wants to put that kind of money into it? I've got a bunch of index cards at home, and think I can make my own just fine. I'm always looking for ways to stay healthy, so I'm going to try it and see if it works.
