habitualpurpose Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Have been dealing with some difficult stuff lately and discovered that my old habbit of snacking mindlessly is not as "gone" as I thought it was. Didn't have an issue with it during my first Whole30 but these past few days have been hard. Apparently I can't have macadamia nuts around when stressed because I just do not stop eating them. What do you do to stop the emotional trigger? I know I can choose other things to eat, go find other things to do with myself, etc. I guess I'm looking for a bigger answer.

Robin Strathdee Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 The first step in stopping the cycle is learning to recognize the trigger. Melissa wrote a fantastic series on the subject. You have to focus on making yourself aware when you begin the behavior. Its hard, but so possible.
