How can I cope with emotional eating as a college student?

Emotional eating means that food is being used for something other than its intended purpose, as fuel for the body. Here are some tips on how to cope with emotional eating:Whenever you feel like eating instead of dealing with the source of your emotions, take five deep breaths to clear your head and then take ten minutes to write out all your feelings, why you feel the way you do, and what your ideal solution would be. Talk to friends.

Sometimes, all you need is some sympathy and reassurance to help you deal with any stress or problem life presents. Separate emotional hunger or longing from the physical variety by getting involved in an activity that will provide outside support: it can be a tension-release activity, such as an exercise or yoga class, or a social activity, like a knitting or book club. If you still want to eat after you've taken the time to confront your emotions, you may be genuinely hungry.

Have a glass of water and wait a few minutes and if the hunger persists, have something healthful to eat, like a handful of almonds, an apple, or some yogurt.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest.
