Are you a Emotional eater??? need help? read me!

Yes....

Emotional eating is a relatively common problem for both men and women.
If you eat in response to your feelings, especially when you are not hungry, you are an emotional eater.
Emotional eating means your emotions -- not your body -- dictate when and/or how much you eat.

When and How Do Emotional Eaters OverEat?

Some emotional eaters binge when they are sad or confused; for others, eating can be a way of avoiding thinking about problems or taking the action required to solve them.

Emotional eaters usually get fat easily because
they tend to go for food that
It's high-fat, high-cal foods ; the more fattening, sweeter or the saltier the food, the better we seem to feel.

Ways to curb it???
1) you never want to be hungry.
the body is usually hungry for 4 things which is;
a) food
b) water
c) sleep
d) sex

i) Eat every 3- 4 hours once.
ii) Eat small PORTION
iii) No Cookies

2) Next issue would be the CRAVING which it usually last for about 10 - 15mintues
What to do??
a) decide not to give in to the craving
b) Do something
c) Think what causes this feeling? a feeling? a thought? sensing? of wad it will effect
n our body?
- most of us are emotinal phobic where we don't want to be stressed up thinking
before we place something in our system.

3) when you have salty food cravings .. this means your body is screaming out for WATER!!!
drink water first, if you still crave for something salty
- drink soup, pickle, and other food that is low in salt...

Are you a Emotional eater? ask yourself this.
  • Do you ever eat without realizing you're even doing it?
  • Do you often feel guilty or ashamed after eating?
  • Do you often eat alone or at odd locations, such as parked in your car outside your own house?
  • After an unpleasant experience, such as an argument, do you eat even if you aren't feeling hungry?
  • Do you crave specific foods when you're upset, such as always desiring chocolate when you feel depressed?
  • Do you feel the urge to eat in response to outside cues like seeing food advertised on television?
  • Do you eat because you feel there's nothing else to do?
  • Does eating make you feel better when you're down or less focused on problems when you're worried about something?

If you eat unusually large quantities of food or you regularly eat until you feel uncomfortable to the point of nausea, you have a problem with binge eating. Please speak to your health care professional.
