“Keep calm and avoid junk food”- Delna Pooniwala.
We don’t always eat simply to satisfy hunger. We also turn to food for comfort & stress to feel relieved & reward. Emotional eating is using food to make you feel better. It is eating to fill your emotional needs, rather than filling your nutritional requirement.
However, it is necessary to recognise this emotional hunger & break free from food cravings and compulsive overeating, and change these habits that ruin your diet. If your first thought is food when you are upset, angry, lonely, stressed, exhausted, or bored, you need to seriously control it by developing positive thoughts or doing something else. Go to the gym and let out the steam or dance, paint or write. And believe me –your writing would bleed out your heart.
Divert into healthier ways to deal with your emotions or else you would have a hard time controlling your weight, and you would feel even more frustrated. It would be a complete downward spiral whirlpool.
So next time you feel low, Just Calm yourself and think of something nice you would want to do. Moments & phases all keep changing in life and you just need to be strong till this phase passes off.
