5 Signs That Indicate An Emotional Eatin...

Weight Loss Mindset
About this episode

Humans tend to seek comfort in certain things as an emotional response. For example, a family member or friend’s death may cause you to never leave your house, or never want to be alone. Well similarly, some people find their comfort in food regardless of their situation or emotional feelings.

Here are five signs that mean you have an emotional eating problem.

You Eat Whether Happy, Sad, Bored, Stressed, Anxious etc.

If your day revolves around picking up that Coke or eating those tasty chips, then you're emotionally eating.

You Don't Have Good Self Control

Lack of self-control will cause us to do things that we don’t necessarily want to do but we do them anyway because it just seems easier than not doing them.

You Have Not Found Other Ways To Deal With Your Problems

Food can and does replace exercise, meditation, therapy etc. for many people because it hits all the pleasure spots!

Your Environment and/or Culture

Where you grew up and how the people around you eat, could be an indicator of your emotional eating habits.

You Don’t Realize You Are Overeating

This is probably the most obvious and the most frustrating reason because the emotional habit has literally consumed the person at this point.

The short and long-term side effects are simply not worth neglecting emotional eating habits. Take charge of your health!
