5 Triggers for Overeating in the Evening and How to Stop

from The Eating Disorder Therapist · host HARRIET FREW

In this episode, I explore 5 common triggers for overeating in the evening. This includes: - 1. Dietary restraint and/or not eating enough during the day. 2. Placing food on the pedestal of the day. 3. The 'I've Blown it Effect'. 4. Alcohol. 5. Emotional triggers. I hope that you find it helpful.   🌐 If you're looking for more support in your recovery journey, you can explore my work here: https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/  💬 Have you used psychological formulation?
