The stomach is full, but the head is hungry - this is the same emotional overeating that comes to a person after or during stress.
Psychologist Irina Bivzyuk told the BelNovosti portal that emotional overeating occurs in people who cannot distinguish between physical hunger and emotional hunger.
When a person is full but still wants to eat something, it means that he is eating away his bad emotions: boredom, loneliness, irritation. It is important to learn to notice what emotion you are experiencing when your hand reaches for chocolate.
Determine what situation caused you to feel negative emotions and how you can cope with it - in ways other than food. Hobbies and interests can bring you pleasure and replace cake.
It is worth thanking yourself for your achievements with emotions and impressions, not with food. The new habit will displace the old one, and the person will stop reaching for food.
Emotional overeating causes feelings of guilt and shame. First, a person eats away the emotion, then feels shame for the portion eaten, and eventually eats away the feeling of shame and guilt again.
You need to learn how to get out of the vicious circle. If you don't cope with such an addiction, then an eating disorder will not be long in coming.
