Start becoming your own detective .
Start using the three A's Strategy.
Awarness = Becoming aware of why you eat, how, what you eat your beliefs and fantasies.
Acceptance = recognise the behaviour, stress, anger boredom , understand it
Action = break the habit , is there another way to deal with this situation differently?
