If you notice yourself while reading this, the good news is I have found a solution.  Please keep reading to find out if emotional eating is sabotaging your weight loss efforts.

Types of Emotional Hunger.

Type #1: Food is my old faithful friend. You turn to food for comfort, like you would turn to a friend.  Food is always there for you and is so faithful.

Type #2: I don't have love, but I have food. Do you use food to fill the gap of loneliness or pain from a relationship that may not be filling an emotional need?

Type #3:  Food can't fill up the missing parts of my past.  Are you using food to forget about the past pain from childhood?

Type #4:  Don't tell me what to eat!  Do you eat to be independent or to rebel againsnt someone of authority in your life? Or to rebel against yourself?

Type #5:  Food, my adult pacifier.  When you are lonely, angry, depressed, anxious or bored, do you use food to dull the pain of these emotions?

If you have identified any of these emotional hungers to be true in your life, then you may be an emotional eater.

If you have not identified yourself please keep reading and learn about the signs of emotional eating.  I know that this brought some light to why I personally have problems sometimes with food.

Signs Of Emotional Eating.

  1. Hunger comes on suddenly.  Natural hunger comes on slowly, however emotional hunger comes on quick or suddenly.  
  2. You crave specific food that may not be good for your body.   Cravings for specific, usually unhealthy foods is a sign of emotional eating. Often people like the rush they get from satisfying their cravings. That rush is fulfilling emotional hunger.
  3. My hunger is sometimes very urgent.  Will you go out of the your way or get in your car late at night to fill a craving?  
  4. Do you feel hungry, when you get upset?  If you are upset about something and feel hungry, that is definitely emotional hunger.  Physical hunger is never connected to emotions.  
  5. Eating Unconsciously. When you're eating for physical reasons, you are usually mindful of what you're doing. If you catch yourself eating "just because," then it's likely you're eating for emotional reasons. 
  6.  Eating when you are full.  If you have finished your meal and feel full, you keep eating anyways, to find some kind of satisfaction.  
  7. I often fell guilty after I satisfy a craving or over eat.

After years of dealing with emotional eating and failing to lose weight year after year I found a program to help emotional eaters break the habit at ShrinkYourself.com.
ShrinkYourself.com was created by Dr. Roger Gould.  He has helped people break the bond between emotions and eating for years.  People who have taken the twelve week online course have learned how to control their emotions and eat because they are hungry, not because of emotional reason's.  They have found freedom from binge eating and yo-yo dieting and have finally put an end to the battle of the bulge.  This program is the best I've seen and really get's to the point of why we eat for emotions and what emotions trigger it for us so we can make a lasting change. 

This Online Program Is Right For You If;

  • You want to stop binging, overeating, or braking your diet.
  • You brake your diet when you are sad, lonely, bored or depressed.
  • You determined to lose weight, but gave up for some reason.
  • You feel cravings for certain foods.
  • You have lost weight before, but gained it back.
