In this episode of Emotional Eating with Marilyn, I discuss the emotional triggers that lead to eating in the workplace. I emphasize the importance of understanding and processing emotions rather than avoiding them. She provides examples of common workplace situations that can trigger emotional eating and offers a structured approach to identifying feelings and learning from them. The conversation also highlights the significance of building resilience and developing alternative coping strategies to manage emotional responses effectively.
