15 Tips for Overcoming Overeating

Nab some shut-eye
Getting enough sleep is so important in reducing our vulnerability to stress and overeating. “Being tired is a huge culprit of emotional eating,” notes Albers. “When we’re tired, we tend to give up and we don’t make smart, clear decisions.” Fatigue also alters your hunger hormones, making you want to eat more food—especially junk food. That’s why many women who are juggling a lot in their lives (children, a demanding career) don’t eat well. Your best bet? Get seven to eight hours of sleep every night, and take a power nap when necessary and when you can.
