Weight Loss: Understand Emotional Eating Part 1
October 30, 2011
This very short article will focus on emotional eating and how it does slows down your weight loss efforts. Information on how to prevent yourself from emotional eating will also be provided in this article series.
The most common cravings for food that provide comfort to almost any person happen when they need it emotionally. You might just simply be bored or you may be currently facing a difficult dilemma, the issue is that you will always turn to food.
If you’re currently doing whatever you can to lose weight, then emotional eating causes a big strain in your efforts to really lose weight. It will cause you to not be aware of what comes in your mouth. Have you noticed that the most common comfort foods are the ones that have high caloric content such as the sugary, sweet, and fatty foods? Emotional eating can almost always trigger excessive eating since it has made you feel better. Now you know that eating in excess will not cause any good when your objective is to cut down the fats in your body. But don’t despair; there is still time for you to change that habit.
Emotional eating is eating as a way to suppress or soothe negative emotions, such as stress, anger, fear, dullness, sadness and loneliness. Both major life events and the hassles of daily life can trigger negative emotions that lead to emotional eating and disrupt your weight-loss efforts. These triggers may include: Unemployment, Financial pressure, Health problems, Relationship conflicts, Work stress, Bad weather, Fatigue. These are issues that we must face all throughout our lives which may also mean that we might suffer from emotional eating until we are old and gray.
Food will serve as a form to momentarily cause a distraction to your uneasy mind. Usually, we over indulge in the comfort foods (with high caloric content and fats, of course!) when we are stressed on upcoming major happenings and have disagreements with other persons. We choose to deal with the food and escape the situation. We choose to ignore it for a while.
Whatever emotions drive you to overeat, the final outcome is frequently remaining unchanged. The emotions related to negativity come again, and then there is now another burden of guilt about being negligent on your weight-loss goal. This can also lead to an unproductive sequence – your emotions cause you to overeat, you beat yourself up for getting off your weight-loss track, you feel badly, and you overeat again. Part two of this series will explain more on battling with emotional eating and provides solutions on how to overcome that feeling.
