🌟 Understanding Emotional Eating 🌟
Many of us experience it but may not fully understand emotional eating or why we do it.
This is when we turn to food not just for hunger, but as a way to cope with feelings like stress, sadness, boredom, loneliness and anxiety... Eating emotions
👉 So why do we emotionally eat?
1. Stress Relief: Life can be overwhelming, and food can feel like a comforting escape.
2. Boredom:Sometimes we eat out of sheer habit or to fill a void, unfulfilled. We look for a distraction.
3. Loneliness: Eating can become a way to fill the emptiness or a sense of companionship
4. Traditions:Many of us associate certain foods with memories or experiences, leading to eating for comfort or feeling safe.
If you find yourself eating when you're not truly hungry, it may be helpful to explore, identify and shift through the emotional loop running that habit.
🎯As a psychotherapist specialising in hypnotherapy, I help people find the origins and understand those feelings that keep you stuck and frustrated.
Most people I work with around their Emotional Eating generally have a good balanced diet and try and do some type of regular exercise and movement of the body every week.
So their Emotional Eating can make them feel confused, frustrated and stuck, leading to self criticism, embarrassment, self sabotaging, and comparing themselves to others and giving up;"What's the point"
