'I constantly need to eat something. I feel full but I still eat. 'I don't feel full at all.' If you make sentences like these, you may have emotional eating disorder.
If you fill the emotional gaps you need with eating; That is, if you do not receive the attention and care you want from the environment and then devote yourself to food; If you do not like being overweight but have difficulty maintaining it even though you can go on a diet, you may have emotional eating disorder.
As the name of the disease suggests, we can briefly say that the result of emotional changes ends with eating. This can occur as a result of both positive and negative emotions. So, when you are feeling down, you may be filling that emotional void with eating and taking out the pain of what you are sad about from your body, or when you are very happy and celebrating, you may be eating by combining positive emotions with the act of eating as if it were a reward. In both cases, the result is a feeling of guilt, and in order to suppress the feeling of guilt, the desire to eat again arises and the person finds himself eating again. Afterwards, he feels regret again, the person becomes unhappy instead of the happiness he tried to find in the meal, and this cycle continues like a dead end. The result is; weight gained, an unhappy and insecure person, a body you don't like, broken diets, failure and loud accusations about yourself.
What you really need to discover about yourself is what you thought and what you thought before the moment you suddenly found yourself in food. It's what you feel. Because those thoughts and emotions lead you to the next stage, that is, eating behavior. For those who have difficulty in dieting and those who constantly start diets and then break diets; Writing down the moments when you broke your diet will help you understand where you made mistakes when you look back and help you try not to make the same mistake. Another important point is; It's about what you replace the food with. For example; Have you broken up with your relationship and are eating instead of the woman you love? Or have you had a fight with your mother and your negative reactions towards your mother have taken the place of food? Or do you have a bad sexual life? Are you eating instead of sexuality? Are you putting the food? Being objective and observant towards yourself in such situations can make you aware of things.
First of all, you must have faith that you will achieve something. It will not be possible for you to overcome something without completely wanting it and working on it. It is not an easy process, but the main thing is to discover what you are replacing with your routine eating behavior. After this, you should work on the obstacles that prevent you from reaching what you need or find out why you do not prefer to reach it. If you have difficulty managing the process alone and need social support, it may be beneficial to get psychotherapy support. Getting support on this matter; It will be useful to find the answer to what the real issue you need is.
