What is Emotional Eating?

 

Emotional food consumption is a typical response to worry and unpleasant emotions and as a result it doesn’t matter if you are fed up, restless or merely feeling depressed, you can easily end up using food as a coping strategy. In this way you can escape from dealing with unpleasant feelings.  Nevertheless although rewarding yourself with a bar of chocolate may temporarily raise your spirits, a sense of guilt soon takes over. Thinking you have let yourself down you then often eat to feel better again thus it gets to be a never ending pattern.
