They are not easy to pick out of a crowd, that mom you see at preschool drop-off every day looks normal, sounds normal, and acts normal but in the privacy of her own home she stuffs down the food and washes it down with 'mommy juice.' Sound shockingly familiar? If not, it probably does to your neighbor and you don't even know 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 men and women who devour food to feel better, it's a friendless journey. You gorge on food in the privacy of your own home, don't love yourself, and the reasons you started eating in the first place haven't gone anywhere when you are done eating. Do the questions below hit a chord in you? If so then you probably have a problem with emotional eating.
Do you eat food just because?
Physical hunger is patient and is open to all options (like vegetables and hummus) while emotional hunger cannot weight and MUST have a bag of chips immediately even if you just finished lunch.
Instead of dealing with a problem or emotion, do you hit the pantry?
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 regularly overeat high carb, high fat foods?
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.
