Before I begin to look at the different reasons way people over eat,
I must say this will take four or five blog post to research some answers so I
am hoping that my audience doesn’t get bored with this subject.
Overeating is a
disease just like someone on drugs or alcohol, and it needs to be treated in
the same way. Through first hand experience and doing some research on the subject there is still so much
to learn about obesity. So there
are many theories about this disease and the way it affects human beings.
According to WebMD, emotional eating can cause intense cravings for food, even obsession. The treatments for any emotional eating include distraction, drinking water, relaxing, and seeking medical help when necessary. However, the few that I have experienced first hand are, emotional eating, sleep- related eating, binge-eating disorder, and boredom.
Emotional eating was a crutch for me when I became stressed about something, food had a
very tranquilizing affect, but this had to be repeated each time I became upset
which cause me to gain weight. Also, this was away not to deal with the
situation at hand, this puts emotional eat in a very simple concept but when
you are living it you don’t even know you're eating emotionally.
