Hello,
To identify triggers we usually recommend that the person start with keeping a food journal. Ask yourself: What am I eating, but also where am I, how am I emotionally feeling, what is my hunger level, and am I alone or with other people? This could help you identify any potential mood triggers to your eating. Once you identify the mood that triggers eating, you can problem solve strategies. For example if you find that: I stress eat in the evenings after a busy and stressful day, can I meditate, write in a gratitude journal, call a friend, or nourish my spiritual side, as possible solutions? The key is to first identify the potential mood trigger to evening eating, then problem solve and experiment with different strategies to minimize those triggers.

Thank you. This is very helpful.<br />
