The All-American Emotional Eater

By Katherine Heffernon


It's not simple to pick them out of a group of people, the mom you see every day dropping off kids at school gives the impression of being normal, nothing is abnormal about the way she talks, and she doesn't behave strangely but in the privacy of her house she gobbles up food and drinks cocktails. Does this sound familiar? If it doesn't sound familiar to you, it does to someone living right next door.

The family existence everyone lives currently is full of people who suffer with being alone, feeling blue, miserable, stressed out, tired, and discouraged. Most of us either cope with these emotions in a good way like working out or talking with a friend, or cope in a negative way like stuffing ourselves with snacks to numb the pain.

For those of us who eat to fill the void, it's a lonely road. You eat in private because you are ashamed, you have a negative self-image, and the issues which started it all are still there when you are done. If the questions below ring true for you then you most likely are an emotional eater.

Do you eat when you are not hungry?

Emotional hunger must have food NOW even if you just had a meal and usually food that is not good for you. Physical hunger can wait and is healthy food will satiate it.

Do you go to the pantry instead of dealing with your issues?

Filling yourself with food instead of coming to terms with your feelings can bring up your level of stress and your blood pressure resulting in you experiencing more depression then before.

Do you overindulge on snacks which are high in fat and carbs?

You should be making 'healthy' food choices 90% of the time and 10% of the time choosing 'fun' foods. If this equation is out of whack on a regular basis, then it's time to take control of your emotional eating.
