The Emotional Eater On The Block

By Katherine Heffernon


It's not simple to pick them out of a group of people, the mom you see every day dropping off kids at school gives the impression of being normal, nothing is abnormal about the way she talks, and she doesn't behave strangely but in the privacy of her house she gobbles up food and drinks cocktails. Does this sound familiar? If it doesn't sound familiar to you, it does to someone living right next door.

The domestic life which most of us live today is filled with people who feel by themselves, unhappy, melancholy, uptight, over-anxious, exhausted, and disheartened. People either deal with these feels in a healthy way like calling your best friend or exercising or unhealthy like stuffing yourself with food to feel better.

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?

Filling yourself with food instead of coming to terms with your feelings can bring up your level of stress and your blood pressure resulting in you experiencing more depression then before.

Do you eat too many foods with high fat and carbohydrates?

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.
