How many times have you found yourself with the refrigerator door wide open?
How many times did you find yourself desperately looking for something to bite, just because you had a fight with someone and wanted to quench your anger?
This is what is called "Comfort Food" food that is used as a real emotional comfort in moments of "discouragement" that can catch you during the day.
The stacks and stacks of books published on the subject of "Food and Diet" have as their main objective to tell you what you need to eat. They teach you which foods are best, they give you a precise table, and follow you, calorie after calorie! The problem, however, is that they don't explain the most important thing, which is why a mysterious force greater than you pushes you, as if in a trance, towards that damn door of the fridge! In the vast majority of cases, your weight gain does not depend on what you eat during meals: the increase is almost always due to the extra calories you introduce during the day, as a response to emotional stimuli, which can range from boredom to anger, from which you normally want to escape. Obviously, as you can imagine, eating cannot be the solution to any problem.
All of us, probably, at some moments in our lives have unleashed some of our frustrations in food, experiencing what emotional hunger is. For example, did you happen to feel entitled to binge on ice cream after having endured the umpteenth, very heavy, working day? All in all, comforting yourself in this way seems to you a decisive and rather harmless move. Actually, it's not like that at all! The step for this attitude to become an habit (a bad habit of course) is unfortunately very short.
Most eating disorders (or even more simply obesity and overweight) do not depend on the food itself but rather on a PERSONAL NEED FOR CONFORT that is filled with it.
....In this book I will accompany you and explain what drives you to open the refrigerator every time you are bored or assails you with some negative emotion!
- You'll learn to soothe your anxiety
- You will learn to fill emotional gaps (disappointments, emotional deficiencies or simply boredom)
- You'll learn to vent your anger
...And much more!
At this point we understand what is meant by "Comfort Food" and emotional hunger. But let's get to the heart of the matter: why is food so comforting and why can't we do without it? The first step out of this vicious circle is to be aware of what are the reasons that push us to eat. So let's see what they are.
- You believe that the Reasons are Physiological
- You think the solution is Immediate Satisfaction
- You are Conditional of Parents, partners or colleagues.
- You believe the reason is an Innate Component
WITH EACH BITE, A REMORSE!
