Emotional hunger is an eating disorder. Do you remember going to the refrigerator just because you were bored? Or do you ever reward yourself with a nice meal after a busy day? Sometimes our emotions give us hunger signals that our stomach does not give us. This sudden eating situation, which occurs as a result of many emotional changes, can be described as emotional hunger.
Is it possible to cope with emotional hunger?
What we need to do to prevent emotional hunger. The first thing we need to do is to know ourselves. Knowing what makes us eat even though we are not hungry helps us cope with this situation. Some of my clients say that they eat just because they are bored, some say that they suppress their anger with a quick meal when they are very angry, and some say that eating something makes them feel good when they are depressed. While experiencing these emotions, the preferred foods are usually fatty and sugary foods.
First of all, be aware! Because awareness nourishes our emotions.
When we feel that something is missing in our lives, instead of turning to the refrigerator and getting temporary pleasure, find new and long-term activities for ourselves. Realize that this will make you happier.
Do not let situations that leave your heart empty and push us into depression affect your stomach. Take care of him. Love your stomach as much as you love your heart.
Don't say sugary things make me happy. Exercising triggers the production of serotonin, the happiness hormone in humans. See for yourself how a brisk walk for 45 minutes gives you pleasure.
Do not keep unhealthy snacks at home that you believe will make you happy. No chocolate cake or a burger with lots of sauce can give us long-term happiness. Hang small notes on your refrigerator.
Know that you are actually punishing yourself by consuming unhealthy foods to feel happy. Because none of our stomachs are garbage. Take care of your stomach as beautiful as your heart.
