Many people crave eating to deal with emotions, boredom, or stress. I am definitely a person who is willing to eat whenever and sometimes whatever. I read in a magazine, I believe it was an issue of SHAPE, it was talking about how you should put a number to how hungry you truly are. So I did!
The article said to range your hunger from 1-7. 1 for if you are completely full to 7 if you feel like you are starving. When I put this into my own practice I noticed that most times that I would typically reach for a healthy or unhealthy snack I was really only about 2 on my hunger scale. Meaning I was eating to pass the time not to nourish my body.
Give it a try and let me know how you rank on the scale.
