Compulsive overeating is an eating disorder that comes from having an overwhelming addiction to food. Compulsive overeaters often use food as a coping mechanism to deal with stress and emotional conflicts held deep within themselves. Food is used as a way of blocking hurtful feelings and emotions, resulting in consequent weight gain. This strong addiction to food often makes people feel out of control and ashamed. Here are a few of the symptoms of compulsive overeating:
· Eating when not hungry or eating rapidly
· Going on eating binges for no reason
· Feelings of guilt/remorse after overeating
· Anticipating time to eat alone
· Planning secret eating binges ahead of time
· Eating one way around others and eat differently while alone
· Weight affects the way you live life
· Resenting others that tell you to use willpower and stop eating so much
· Craving food to eat at a defined time other than meal time
· Eating to escape worries or trouble
· Seeking out treatment for food-related conditions or obesity
· Eating behavior makes you ashamed and unhappy
You are not alone, there are many people who over eat or suffer from a compulsive overeating disorder. There is something you can do about it!
Here are 5 crucial tips that you'll want to use:
1. Do not pile too much food in your mouth when you eat. (Even if it’s tasty popcorn) Take small bites, chew it up fine and swallow what is in your mouth before you put more food in.
2. Always cut foods like burgers and pizza into smaller pieces before you eat them. This will make it easier to take a small bite.
3. Do not eat while reading, driving, computing or watching television. These things keep you from practicing mindfulness while eating.
4. Do not feel obligated to finish all of the food on your plate. It is not a waste of money to leave food behind. It is a waste of money for you to eat more than what you need.
5. DO NOT pile more food into your mouth, when you are not finished swallowing the food that is already in your mouth.
As you practice these 5 crucial tips you will become better at it. Before you know it these tips will be as easy as 1 2 3, and you'll start losing weight naturally. Already you have made a tremendous step toward achieving your goal of overcoming overeating just by reading this article. Congratulations! I wish you great success!
