Emotional Eating: Why do we eat without being physically hungry? Out of the blue, we are craving sweet, salty or fatty foods. Opposed to physical hunger, emotional hunger wants to be satisfied immediately. The most common reasons for emotional hunger are boredom, frustration, loneliness or stress. Often we don’t have any control over our behaviour which leaves us feeling helpless and guilty.

Once you have identified yourself as an emotional eater the real work begins. It may sound easy to feel instead of to eat when your cravings pop up, but let me tell you one thing from years of experience in this field: It isn’t! Emotions are a huge secret to most of us. When we look at triggering situations we realize that it’s mainly unpleasant emotions that cause the desire to eat. Stress, painful experiences or uncomfortable sensations want to be balanced by stimulating our taste buds.

Hypersensitivity – do you know what it feels like to not fit in? Do you feel as if you were different from the people surrounding you? Do you feel strange because you experience things more intensely than others – the good and bad in life? Do you lack the words to describe what is going on? Do you sometimes want to be alone, far away from the noise of this world – simply to recharge your batteries? Maybe you experience regular headaches or other physical discomforts while socializing with others? Even feel isolated when you meet so-called friends? 

You recognize yourself in these questions and are wondering: What the hell is wrong with me?
