How To Stop Emotional Eating

あなたの感情的な食べて、過食を修正しました。

Talking about cakes... at some emotional level you have made the association that food makes you feel safe, secure, loved, accepted, comfortable, protected, rewarded, or reduces stress and boredom.

In some way your current weight is emotionally driven.

I bet your problems with food have to do with emotions like relieving stress, sadness, anger and other bad feelings. Do you think too much about food? Do you associate familiar events with foods? Do you eat when you had a bad day? etc? Well this is called "emotional eating".

Emotional eating triggers include anxiety, fear, worry, anger, sadness, disappointment and boredom. Emotional eating helps you numb out negative emotions so that you can avoid them, at least temporarily. If you are hungry and you just ate an hour ago, you are just tired or you are eating emotionally, do something that makes you feel better immediately, a hobby, a sport, talk or chat with somebody, call someone on the phone, watch TV a movie or series, listen music, read, etc. Do something useful, anything you can, but don't stuff your mouth with more food if you just ate!

Why would you rather eat than face your emotions? It's simple. Facing the emotions is tough. It will often require you to make some tough decisions. Here is what you have to do every time you suspect you are having emotional eating episodes.
