The first major step is admitting that you're stress eating; identify what exactly is making you feel anxious – is it work, your relationship or finances?; once you've identified the source of your stress, it's always easier to face it – you might even want to consider counselling; find out what relaxes you (e.g. yoga, meditation etc.) and make a plan to fit this activity into your schedule; learn to switch off – mulling endlessly over things that might happen is a useless exercise; and if you're craving something, have it (in a reasonable quantity, of course) – depriving yourself will only make you binge on that particular item at a later stage.
