The All-American Emotional Eater

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 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 devour food when you are full?

Physical hunger can wait until food is available and it doesn't care if the food is healthy or unhealthy. Emotional hunger is immediate and impulsive and usually craves specific unhealthy foods.

Do you go to the pantry instead of dealing with your issues?

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?

People should be choosing 'healthful' food 90% of the times you eat and 'junk' food 10% of time times you eat. If this is not reliably the case, then one should be concerned about emotional eating.
