Hello. Is eating behavior a need, choice or addiction? I want to start by looking for answers to these questions. I would like to share interesting sentences that I have heard from my clients who have difficulty in dieting. “I'm just starting a diet, I'm getting incredibly hungry. When I'm bored, I get hungry. When I'm in a bad mood, I get hungry. If I'm stressed, I eat. When I'm happy, my appetite increases. Is it okay if I go on a diet when I'm full? There's something about the kitchen that attracts me. Especially at night.
The most important of our biological needs is nutrition. So, is eating behavior just to fill the stomach? Does it meet any other needs we have? Yes. Getting hungry and filling our stomach starts with visual pleasure, continues with the palate and tongue, and continues until the fullness of the stomach and our blood reach ideal values. In all these processes, there is both need, choice and dependency. Need is a biological process, it is natural. Preferences and addiction often cause us to deviate from the natural and healthy line. For example, there is a ceremony called Sunday breakfast in our culture. There are two or three kinds of everything on the tables, and we continue eating after we are full. Have you ever seen an obese lion or giraffe? You can't see. Because other creatures instinctively eat only the amount they need. So why do humans continue to eat after they are full? If you say so, his eyes can't get enough. This part is psychological hunger. He is never satisfied. Because the issue is not the stomach but the mind. As you eat, it relaxes you, your anxiety is relieved, and it makes you feel confident. On the other hand, he is uncomfortable because he has gained weight. Then, using his Will, he forbids himself to eat. When he forbids it, that insatiable psychological hunger inside him constantly pushes him more and more, and one day he gives up and eats more than before and gains weight. So, are those who break the Diet people with weak wills? No way. On the contrary, their will is stronger than most people's. Watch what they achieve in other subjects. So why does this failure stem from weakness of will? Conflict of will. The never-ending conflict of wills in their minds. Let's think like this. You know, when we were little, we used to play tug-of-war in two groups. Whichever side pulled more would win. A similar rope-pulling mechanism is set up in our minds. One side urges you to eat, the other side urges you not to eat. A person torn between the two is neither comfortable when eating nor when not eating. Because the other side continues to tug. He never leaves you alone. No matter how much willpower we try to endure, we will definitely give up one day. Because there is an unabated tug on the other side. If a competition you cannot win continues for years, our tendency to give up increases
CONFLICT OF WILL
EAT
Enjoyable
p>It makes you feel strong
Your stress decreases
You become happy
EAT
Your health deteriorates
You will not be fit and beautiful
Your self-confidence will decrease
You will be unhappy
So what should be done in this situation? If we try not to eat, we will experience conflict. The way to end this conflict of wills is to stop the bickering of the party who says YE. Do we really need to eat more? No. Does overeating really make you happy? No. Does eating a lot really help relieve stress or help us solve our problems? No. This is how we must destroy the side that commands us to eat. Of course, we must convince our minds by presenting rational proofs. We must eliminate false beliefs and replace them with healthy and realistic information. As we do this, we automatically eat as much as we need. How do we know the amount we need? Of course, this is also present in our genetic codes. When we achieve this, there will be no rope, conflict or tugging. I wish conveniences. Goodbye
