Everyone eats emotionally at some point, some do it more often than others and others do it for every emotion.
No matter what you do it for, the processor sequence remains the same:
Trigger: What is your trigger? Is it the stress of work or family, is it sadness or loneliness?
Eating: when you eat, is it the same food that you consume every time you have an emotion?Guilt: once we feel guilty about eating in general, we will eat again because we feel guilty.
Many people do not even realize that they are eating for an emotional reason until it is too late and the plate full of food is gone. If this sounds like you, then take some time to remember the last days or weeks and the meals you have eaten. Think about why you chose the food you made, were there emotions behind them? Once you begin to recognize why you are eating, it will be much easier for you to make better decisions.
When we eat, we are generally feeding 1 of 3 things:
Our emotional body or soul: if this is the case, the food is generally bad.
Our mind can be good or bad food.
Let's look more closely at the sequence and, specifically, how we can slow down the process and make some changes in our emotional eating patterns.
Trigger
When it comes to the trigger, the secrets are to understand their triggers, look for alternatives to feeding for emotional triggers and question their decision before eating. In other words:
Ask yourself, what are you avoiding? What emotion is it?
Try something else instead of eating, for example. Go for a walk or read a book.
Ask yourself if you can afford the food; If you eat it, it will cost more than necessary for the day (remember that if you want to lose weight you should eat fewer calories than you burn).
Eat
When it comes to eating:
Try to eat something healthier.
Ask yourself, can I make a better version of the food I want (for example, a healthy homemade pizzainstead of a take-out version)?
Guilt
Feeling guilty about eating for emotional reasons can make things worse.
When you feel guilty, ask yourself these questions:
Was it worth eating the food?
Can I give an account or compensate? For example, can you work a little more the next day or can you improve your meal plan for the next day or so to counteract excessive consumption?
Unless you've eaten a family block of chocolate or a full pack of cookies, eating emotions is not as bad as we think and the calories we're eating are not as much as we think.
Decide that it's okay
Casual, low-level emotional nourishment is not the end of the world.
Being aware that you are eating for an emotional reason is really the first step in controlling it.
Once you identify and recognize your emotional eating, you will begin to take charge of your emotions and not allow them to control you.
