The #1 reason you eat too much junk food is often

The #1 reason you eat too much junk food is often not about taste or enjoyment.

It's about using it as a coping mechanism to deal with stress and discomfort.

Apply the criteria of mindfulness, intentionality, and revitalization.

Differentiate between unhealthy coping and true enjoyment.

Find healthier alternatives with the same benefits through habit replacement.

Create space for deep enjoyment to avoid falling back into unhealthy coping habits.

Regret vs. Revitalizing Think about having a deli

Regret vs. Revitalizing

Think about having a delicious dinner with your friend or partner at a nice restaurant.

How do you feel afterward?
Relaxed? Satisfied? Like you had a great time?

Now compare this with stuffing down some fast food while you're in a rush.

How do you feel now? Numb? Regretful? Shameful?

Engaging in unhealthy coping mechanisms leads us to feel regret and shame.

Deep enjoyment on the other side is revitalizing and you won't feel bad about it.

Next, write down what you think you enjoy:

Make a list.

Write everything out.

Rate these behaviors on an “enjoyment scale” from 1-10.

Then, apply the coping criteria:

Take your enjoyment list.

Are these behaviors:

👉Mindful or mindless?
👉Intentional or impulsive?
👉Revitalizing or regretful?

Write down when you engage in these activities.

Which of them do you turn to when you're stressed?

Think about a time when you're relaxed—would you still engage in these activities?

If not, what's different?

After applying the criteria, rate your "enjoyments" on a scale from 1 to 10 again.

How did your perception change?

Write it down.

Next, become aware of the benefit.

Every behavior has an underlying benefit – even if it’s destructive.

Consider this when changing habits.

If you can't get that benefit differently, you won't change the habit.

Understanding the underlying benefit allows you to find healthier alternatives.

Answering these two questions will help you to understand this:

-👉What does this behavior give me?
👉What would I not be able to be, do, or feel without it?

Find different ways to get the benefit.

Habit replacement is easier than just trying to quit.

Find a healthier way to get the same benefits of the pattern you want to let go of.

Let's say that eating sugary foods helps to deal with stress.

What other behaviors could you use for that?

Quality time with friends?

Movement/walking?

Art or music?
