“I can’t stop.”
That was the thought that ran through my head most nights.
I was a big emotional eater, but nighttime bingeing was my biggest struggle. And the hardest part?
Stress eating isn’t random. It’s a learned behaviour, something many of us picked up years ago and carried into adulthood because no one ever taught us healthier ways to regulate our emotions. We don’t learn emotional regulation in school, so food becomes the quickest, most familiar comfort.
