  • Responding to Emotional Eating While We Eat for Physical Hunger, We Also Want to Recognize the Other Reasons We Eat
    Responding to Emotional Eating While we eat for physical hunger, we also want to recognize the other reasons we eat. It may be to celebrate achievements or special occasions or to mourn a loss. It could be in response to feeling stressed, bored, anxious, happy, or even excited. Emotional eating is when we eat food in reaction to emotion, not just for physical hunger. Individuals of all ages – from teens to older adults – may experience emotional eating in their lives. While it can be perceived as a shameful habit, emotional eating is a normal response to life’s experiences, and we can embrace it as such. We can also consider a few practical ways to protect both our physical and mental health in response to emotional eating. • Reassess your environment. Do you eat emotionally on weekends? After a long day? Only in your house and never out? Considering your environment helps you plan accordingly so you are not eating emotionally in an impulsive or reactive manner, but in an intentional way. • Understand what leads you to eat emotionally. Are there patterns in your eating? It may be helpful to write down what you are eating and what experience led you to emotional eating in the first place. This will allow you to notice and respond in a more healthful way. • Account for your feelings. Feeling sad? Lonely? Bored? Anxious? Consider the best way to acknowledge these feelings and implement self-care measures to ease emotions. Sometimes food can help, but often it’s not enough to cope with strong emotions.

  • Emotional Eating & How to Stop It
    Emotional Eating & How to Stop It Adapted from a Help Guide article by Melinda Smith, M.A., Jeanne Segal Ph.D., and Robert Segal, M.A. Last updated: September 2019. Do you eat to feel better or relieve stress? These tips can help you stop emotional eating, fight cravings, identify your triggers and find more satisfying ways to feed your feelings. https://www.barimelts.com/blogs/our-blog/how-to-stop-emotional-eating What is Emotional Eating? ➢ We don’t always eat just to satisfy physical hunger. Many of us also turn to food for comfort, stress relief, or to reward ourselves. And when we do, we tend to reach for junk food, sweets, and other comforting but unhealthy foods. You might reach for a pint of ice cream when you’re feeling down, order a pizza if you’re bored or lonely, or swing by the drive through after a stressful day at work. ➢ Emotional eating is using food to make yourself feel better—to fill emotional needs, rather than your stomach. Unfortunately, emotional eating doesn’t fix emotional problems. In fact, it usually makes you feel worse. Afterward, not only does the original emotional issue remain, but you also feel guilty for overeating. Answering “yes” to any of these questions are signs of emotional eating. 1. Do you eat more when you’re feeling stressed? 2. Do you eat when you’re not hungry or when you are full? 3. Do you eat to feel better-- to calm and sooth yourself when you’re feeling sad, mad, bored, anxious, etc.? 4.

    MANAS Sosyal Araştırmalar Dergisi 2020 Cilt: 9 Sayı: 1 MANAS Journal of Social Studies 2020 Volume: 9 No: 1 ISSN: 1694-7215 Research Paper / Araştırma Makalesi Relationship between Emotional Eating and Big Five Personality Characteristics and Mood Disorder Symptoms1 Ece TINMAZOĞLU2 & Neslim GÜVENDER-DOKSAT3 Abstract Some recent research indicates that eating behavior is related to emotions rather than physical hunger. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between emotionally triggered eating behavior and mood disorder symptoms and personality characteristics. The sample of the research consisted of 300 university students between 17-25 years old. The measurements are a socio-demographic, Emotional Appetite Questionnaire, Mood Disorder Questionnaire, and The Big Five Inventory. Data were analyzed performing T-Tests, correlation and regression analysis. Results indicated that there is a significant relationship between mood disorder symptoms, some of the emotional eating appetite sub-dimensions and some variables of Big Five personality traits of agreeableness, neuroticism, conscientiousness, and extroversion personality. There was no relationship between mood disorders and emotional eating behaviors. Extroversion, openness, and conscientiousness were significant predictors of positive mood appetite, anxiety-based mood appetite, and dysphonic mood appetite.
