Emotional eating... YumYum!
I must say that emotional eating is something that has deep roots in me and my character, and i think im pretty powerless to it. Ok, i dont meen that im a slave to it, i can pretend like i dont feel like eating that chocolate bar, or that Bag of maltezers and so on, and the pretending works pretty good, until it doesnt..
I wouldnt say that im sooo depressed or something, its not because of depression im eating.. Cause im not depressed, of course i would eat treats if i was depressed aswell ;)
But i know how my Emotional-Eating-Schedule looks more or less, if the chocolate devil can decide, Maybe you can recognize yourself in some one of these?
There is 2 feelings when im not eating that much crap:
- When im angry :
Well, when im angry i have a tendency to "starve" myself, i meen, if im really pissed, it doesnt matter if im hungry or what ever. I will just not eat, its not allways because i have done something wrong and need to be "punished", it can also be because of someone else, that im so angry on that i will rather starve myself than give "you" right. Sounds silly, i know, but its just there...
- When im happy:
Well, i wouldnt say that im not eating when im happy, but when im happy i rather take a fruit, or a sandwich, to stop hunger, and thats it. Because when your happy your body allready has the endorfines and so, so "suplimental happyness" is not necessary.
Then there is the other ones:
- When im stressed:
Then i have a tendency to eat...junk... Well when im stressed i dont do it on "purpous" or what to call it, i just grab the quickest i can and eat and then thats it. Not healthy, because i might eat lets say a piece of chocolate or so, and for the rest not much at all until really late in the evening. Not so healthy he?
- When im sad: Hmm sad or depressed is not the exact therm im looking for, im not that often really sad or so, but i meen, when you have something that brings you down, big or small, then its easy to "threat" your sadness with some chocolate, or cookies, or what so ever.. And i can eat alot.
I know i do it, but not for sure at exactly that moment. I have periods when im not feeling at all that im stressed, sad, angry or what ever, but the eating is still there. I have sometimes periods when im just feeling "--------------------------------------" in my brain, no feelings, but under that state of mind, there is allways something, even if you cant translate it into your language, you allways feel something, right?
What im trying to say is: It doesnt matter if you or anyone else tries to point the finger and say: Hoooola, you eat alot now he?" It will still be periods when im eating more and also when im eating less. Thats my life..
Well, i make myself sound like one of the most unhealthiest persons there is, but to be honest, if we have it at home i do prefere vegetables with some "dipp", or a warm cup of tea..
But the matter of fact, im also doing quite alot. My job is not a "sitting and staring on a screen" job, i work with cleaning around 30-35 hours a week. After that i also ride 20-25 horses a week, and as a plus sometimes i go for a walk, or take a run. Or do sit ups and push ups and so on.
Now this has been a long one, and i dont know if its that interesting for you to read, but it was nice writing about it. Haha :)
Good night folks!
