contempo: How to Overcome Emotional or Compulsive Eating

Have you ever felt so lonely that it made you grab that tub of ice cream on the refrigerator and eat it while your tears were flowing? Or have you ever felt so overjoyed that you ate a lot while laughing and talking to others about your exciting experience? Yes, we all love to eat no matter what the circumstance is. Food is a basic necessity in life. Even when we are not too emotional, we eat because it is a way of life. Everyone knows that we eat to get nourishment and to stay healthy. But too much eating can put on excess body weight, which could lead to being unhealthy. Becoming overweight can be stressful. I know, I've been there. I was naturally slim but as I age, my metabolism becomes slower, thus, gaining those extra pounds on the scale. But I was able to overcome that. I won't write here about how I lost weight but I'd like to focus on emotional eating. One of my online friends inspired me to write this. She broke up with her boyfriend, was able to move on, but is now getting emotional again. Oh well... We all have great and terrible days. Now, some people eat a lot whenever they feel emotional or stressed out. I don't know the reason but eating can make us feel better. But the fact still stands that if you eat excessively, you will put on extra weight, which is not easy to lose. So, what triggers us to become an emotional eater? Try to ask these questions to yourself: -Have you recently experienced a painful break up or loss of a loved one? -Have you been feeling stressed out at work? -Has there been any unresolved family or personal matters that's been bothering you? If you answer "yes" to any of the questions above, chances are you might be an emotional eater. Assess yourself - do you eat even when you're not hungry? I was an emotional eater. During those times, when anxiety attacks, I turn to my "comfort foods" such as ice cream, chocolates, cakes, doughnuts, and other sweet treats. Until I realized that I had already gained too much weight and that my clothes won't fit anymore. It's not just all about staying fit and maintaining the body I want. It's all about staying healthy. So, let me share how I was able to overcome being an emotional eater: Acceptance I accepted the fact that I eat a lot whenever I feel stressed out or emotional. I believe this is first step in overcoming emotional eating. When you have already accepted that fact, then it would be easier for you to pause and think first whenever you feel the urge to bite that big slice of pizza just because you get disappointed or things didn't go your way.
