i suffer from emotional eating..help me?

Question:

Answers:
First of all, eating lots and lots does not mean that you will become fat and gain weight. It depends on the mental stature. With hyper-tension, you can never be healthy. You will inhibit disorders with symptoms like gas, acidity, headache, frequent cold(allergy), etc.

Secondly, eating a lot, in your case, is due to negligency. The human digestive system needs some time to react, to inform your brain that you are satisfied with the food intake, or you are no more hungry, or that was enough. In most of the cases, the muscles of our stomach has to inform the brain that the food intake is optimum(according to space). This can be solved by eating slowly and chewing the food thoroughly(it lets the saliva adequate time to do its job). I am sorry to say that your case is more acute. You even neglect the responses from your tissues and organs, as you are consumed in deep thought.

The best way is to visit a psychiatrist, or else, try hard to enjoy the ambience where you are havind the food, or think about this mail. It might help.

i have suffered from eating disorders (all of them. I probably even created some new ones) since I was 16.(I am 30 now) I think we just have to learn to live with it.although it is a curse!

Mabe you can find someone you can share your problems with! It seems mabe you want to talk about it and making other people know is asking for help.

One thing I have noticed for me, though, is the more busy i am the less I have time to think about food.and this control and obsession thing.

it's good yu are emotional but sometime yu think beyond emotions.

I did too. It's really difficult. I did replacement therapy on myslef, however, I do not recommend doing it the way I did it because I had low self esteem, I replaced food with smokes or beer. So when that got out of hand, I replaced smoking with running and beer for selzter water. So, I'd say skip the middle step that I did and replace cake with herbal tea, chips with a brisk walk, ice cream with a stick of gum, etc. You'll, at some point, have to search deep inside yourself to figure out why you eat for emotional reasons. But for now, replace. Good luck.

Try to figure out what this emotion is. Try to substitute fruit or protien and try to think of something else to do instead of eating. I've been there.

I think that is why I turned to smokeing. I AM NOT RECOMMENDING YOU START/CONTINUE TO SMOKE! I just think that because I ate when I was bored or upset, which upset me more, i started to smoke which was worse for my health but better for my increasing weight problem. I have recently "not smoked in a while" and I have gained a few pounds. I am eating when I was smoking.

Got to stay busy, get a hobby or get interested in family or something. Also have healthy snacks around. Things with no sugar. Drinks lot of water, no sodas.

When you feel like you are getting in the emotional mood of eating you should try to occupy your time by making your self busy. doing something that can distract your mind from thinking about food like, talk on the phone, clean up, take a walk, sleep, exercise or something of that nature. To me it's a mind thing that when we get emotional that we feel it's nothing better for ourselves but to eat everything and put even more pain on our bodies because now we left with other problems like weight gain and self low esteem. If you feel that you can make it to the food so easy, don't even let yourself get to the point of getting that emotional talk to someone you can trust. Good luck! I hope this help you out a lot.

there is a solution! I have emotionally eaten all my life, but for the last 2 years I've been abstinent through the help of Overeaters Anonymous - try them, they could help you if you are willing to try!

You need ot get help, similar things happened to my girlfriend, and it was rough for me and her. Eat healthy, you don't want your body to adjust to getting minimum nutrients, it won't be good, talk to someone, school counselors are sometimes good becasue they don't tell parents, for the most part, or call a hotline.

Stella,

Feel free to write me at mashiah48901@yahoo.com. I have a feeling I know what's going on in your household, but THAT is the problem; THE EATING IS ONLY A SYMPTOM, or a way of ACTING OUT against the real problem. All information will remain confidential. If you don't feel comfortable writing to me, then take this advice please: attack the PROBLEM that causes the symptom.
