It is no easy to identify them, the woman dropping kids off at school appears usual, talks usual, and does things in a usual way but when she is at home alone she eats tons of food and drinks wine by herself. Does that sound like you? If it doesn't, then it probably does to your next door neighbor and you wouldn't even guess it.
The family existence everyone lives currently is full of people who suffer with being alone, feeling blue, miserable, stressed out, tired, and discouraged. Most of us either cope with these emotions in a good way like working out or talking with a friend, or cope in a negative way like stuffing ourselves with snacks to numb the pain.
For the people who consume food to feel satisfied, the road is lonesome. They consume food away from others because they are embarrassed, don't feel positive about themselves, and the problems which made them eat in the first place are still there when they are finished. Look at the statements below, if they are familiar to you then you are probably an emotional eater.
Do you eat food just because?
Emotional hunger must have food NOW even if you just had a meal and usually food that is not good for you. Physical hunger can wait and is healthy food will satiate it.
Do you visit the cupboard as a method of coping?
Using food as a method of coping with emotions can increase your distress, increase your blood pressure, and leave you more down in the dumps then before you at the food.
Do you overindulge on snacks which are high in fat and carbs?
One should be eating 'good for you' food 90% of the time and 'cheat' foods 10% of the time. If these percentages are not in line most of the time, then you need to control your emotional eating.
