Want to Control Your Eating and Weight?

Food is the most convenient thing that people choose to opt for when they are overwhelmed, stressed, tired or depressed. It is even what we feel guilty about when we overindulge and find pounds piling on quickly than we can take them off.

Over-eating

Sometimes you may tell yourself, “Just because I am already depressed regarding gaining weight, I am just going to let it go for some time.” And thus what you do is eat more, ignoring the proof that those extra calories aren't doing your waist line any kind of good.

However, at a point the internal task master may kick in for you and so you may jump on tread mill, see the workout videos and may even visit the gymnasium where you exercise like a mad person just to make up for the overeating for a few days or months.

Meals skipping

Sometimes, you may also end up slipping your meals (especially the breakfast) to cut back as much as possible for overcoming the guilt, which comes as a consequence of your lack of control over the food. Thus, the result is you eat very little and you invest money buying those sugar-free foods or diet cokes, which actually make you gain weight. 

Problem eating

Over time, you start seeing a pattern as pendulum swings back and forth, right from overeating to endeavours to severely cut back calories. At the end, the result is you happen to be more depressed and feel like you can never win.

Whether you are suffering from anorexia nervosa, orthorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, purging pica, binge eating disorder or a simpler form of weight/eating struggle, it is always a battle and some point you'll admit that the battle actually controls you. Only then we can face the powerless over the issue and get the support and help that we need.
