Emotional Eating: A Prime Ingredient for Obesity
Sandra found her weight ballooning 60 pounds after her
separation from her husband. While part of the weight gain was
apparently tied to the medication she was taking, the rest
appeared to be the result of what can be described as emotional
eating. In recent years, greater attention has been focused on
the problem of emotional eating for both women and men.
In fact, some experts have gone so far as to claim that most
weight gain can be blamed on emotional eating. According to
Women Today magazine, it has been estimated that as much as 75
percent of overeating is attributed to the emotions.
For a number of people, overeating stems from anxiety. For
instance, if you find yourself consuming an entire bag of potato
chips, it's possible that anxiety is the cause. While many
people realize that alcohol and illegal drugs are not an
antidote to anxiety, they may not understand that indulging in
comfort food in order to combat anxiety can be dangerous as well.
In other cases, overeating may be the result of depression. If
you feel tired, hopeless, and have lost interest in your normal
activities, you may be suffering from a depressive episode. In
order to deal with these uncomfortable feelings, people may turn
to food in an effort to cheer up. The problem is that the food
can lead to weight gain, which can lead to further depression.
At times, overeating may be a symptom of boredom. An individual
may figure that he or she has nothing better to do than overeat.
This can be particularly true when one is watching television or
surfing the Internet. Rather than trying to determine a cause
for the boredom, an individual may just try to "fix" it by
indulging in high-fat, high-calorie food.
How do you know if you are an emotional eater? Ask yourself
some key questions: Do I tend to eat when I'm worried? Scared?
Sad? Do I find that eating lifts my spirits? Am I spending more
time eating than engaging in other activities I enjoy? Do my
binges come after I've suffered disappointment? Am I turning to
food in order to deal with the death of a loved one...a
divorce...or the defeat of my favorite team? If the answers to
any of these questions is "yes," you
may be overeating purely
for emotional reasons.
After you've identified yourself as an emotional eater, you'll
need to take steps to correct your behavior. Perhaps the most
effective technique is diversion. In other words, if you find
yourself reaching for the cookie jar, find another activity to
engage in. The answer could be taking a walk, kickboxing, or
dancing. Or it could be something less physically demanding,
such as needlepoint or crochet. The idea is to get your
hands...and perhaps the rest of your body...moving. In time, you
might find the urge to overeat subsides as you become involved
with other activities.
Another effective step you can take is to identify the triggers
for your emotional eating. Do you tend to binge in mid-morning,
mid-afternoon, or right before bedtime? Are you snacking while
watching television, while at the computer, or when you're
sitting in your favorite chair? By asking yourself these
questions, you can identify the time of day when you overeat, as
well as the location for your binging. With this information,
you can learn to re-direct your behavior to less fattening
pursuits.
Yet another helpful technique is to develop a support network
to help you combat overeating. The members of your support team
could include your spouse, children, parents, friends, or other
over-eaters. You may even consider joining a support group which
specializes in helping those who engage in binge eating. If you
feel the need to overeat, contact a member of your support team.
Talking through your emotions could provide you with the
emotional release you need, making overeating unnecessary.
If your anxiety or depression persists, consider seeing a
psychotherapist. He or she can help you develop more effective
coping mechanisms. If you find it difficult to talk to friends
or family about your overeating, a psychotherapist can provide
you with the talk therapy you need to overcome your problem.
