Although many of us are similar at one end of the weight loss process, the story at the other end is very different. Some people store their stress, sadness, emotional emptiness and happiness in their bodies by eating; Some people eat just to live. Food, which is the only means of happiness for some, is a shelter for some as a result of childhood traumas. Even though it may seem different so far, the subconscious reasons and the end of the story are actually the same. Uncontrollable weight, bodies growing from year to year, deteriorated blood values, knees that cannot resist the weight, feeling out of breath even on short distances, restrictions, unhappy moments in front of the mirror and dozens of clothes that do not fit... The days with medication or increased doses of medications that followed, half-baked, The decision to start a diet made without self-confidence, applying trendy diets found on the internet, continuing for three or five days and then the urge to eat more... It's a story from all of us, isn't it?
So how to break this vicious circle?
-
First of all, find the source of eating so much!
If this situation is based on psychological sub-reasons or childhood traumas, it would be beneficial to get support from an expert (psychiatrist, psychologist), and unfortunately, this step is something that many of us skip. Our eating behavior and our psychology (mode) are intertwined. We cannot think independently of each other. Sometimes, just two bites of food fill us up, while sometimes we feel like eating the whole world. Our current mood determines this difference. When we are angry, angry or under stress, our hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol; When we are very happy, the amount of serotonin and dopamine, which are brain chemicals, affects our eating behavior, and generally the food we cling to in such situations is not very healthy. At that moment, we embrace foods that will immediately lift our mood and make us happy in a short time. What are these? As expected, junk food is things we can easily access, such as desserts, chocolate, ready-made foods, and chips. Unless our methods of coping with stress change, our eating habits will not change either. We just silence the stress, suppress it. At this point, the dietician, psychiatrist and psychologist should handle the issue together.

Taking Care of Ourselves, Taking Care of Ourselves and Not Being Ashamed of Preparing Meals!
Due to the age we live in, everything happens fast, we are racing against time. As employees, we always focus on what is most practical. This leads us to frequently eat restaurant food and consume packaged products. The preservatives, additives and add-on chemicals in the packaged product create addiction and push us to consume more. Many clients we work with find the idea of taking food from home to work tiring or do not want to bother and reject the idea. Actually, isn't this what should be normal? Eating out every lunch break causes portions to grow, a financial burden and a gradual change in taste. Home cooking is becoming less popular and preferences are changing. Therefore, do not hesitate to plan ahead and carry meals or snacks with you.
As far as I have observed, my clients who do not work do not prepare meals when there is no one at home, they eat snacks while standing, they pass their meals with snacks that can be accompanied by tea and coffee, and when they go around the house, They say that they are more inclined to consume pastries on different days. Things containing such simple sugars are naturally becoming more addictive, and the frequency and amount of consumption is increasing. My suggestion is to prepare meals for yourself, even if you are alone at home or if you prioritize your child. Because you need to eat with awareness of what you eat.
Small changes in our lifestyle are the beginning of nutritional changes. So, as can be seen, starting diets without making any behavioral changes does not solve our problem. I hope you find the underlying problem and take steps to solve it. Healthy days...
