Make exercise a priority. It can reduce stress and regulate stress-related weight gain.
Eat healthier comfort foods, such as air-popped popcorn.
Practice mindful eating. Focus on what you're eating without distractions such as your phone or the TV.
Keep a food journal. Being more aware of what you eat could improve your eating habits.

Incorporate stress-relief strategies such as reading a good book, taking a deep breath, listening to music, or going for a daily walk.
