The All-American Emotional Eater

By Katherine Heffernon


They are not easy to pick out of a crowd, that mom you see at preschool drop-off every day looks normal, sounds normal, and acts normal but in the privacy of her own home she stuffs down the food and washes it down with 'mommy juice.' Sound shockingly familiar? If not, it probably does to your neighbor and you don't even know it.

The domestic life which most of us live today is filled with people who feel by themselves, unhappy, melancholy, uptight, over-anxious, exhausted, and disheartened. People either deal with these feels in a healthy way like calling your best friend or exercising or unhealthy like stuffing yourself with food to feel better.

For the people who consume food to feel satisfied, the road is lonesome. They consume food away from others because they are embarrassed, don't feel positive about themselves, and the problems which made them eat in the first place are still there when they are finished. Look at the statements below, if they are familiar to you then you are probably an emotional eater.

Do you devour food when you are full?

Emotional hunger must have food NOW even if you just had a meal and usually food that is not good for you. Physical hunger can wait and is healthy food will satiate it.

Do you visit the cupboard as a method of coping?

Filling yourself with food instead of coming to terms with your feelings can bring up your level of stress and your blood pressure resulting in you experiencing more depression then before.

Do you eat too many foods with high fat and carbohydrates?

People should be choosing 'healthful' food 90% of the times you eat and 'junk' food 10% of time times you eat. If this is not reliably the case, then one should be concerned about emotional eating.
