As all unhealthy food behavior begins with a trigger, it is helpful to identify a few of your triggers. Jot down a few examples in each of these categories:
Environmental Triggers (e.g., seeing or smelling food)
Biological Triggers (e.g., hunger, thirst, cravings)
Mental Triggers (e.g., thinking about food, reading a description of food, euphoric recall, deprivation, imagining eating in the future)
Emotional Triggers (e.g., anger, sadness, anxiety, stress, frustration, boredom)
Social Triggers (e.g., people who urge you to eat or uncomfortable social situations)
