How to stop nervous eating | Fusion - WeRIndia

There are several factors that make people eat more and keep them from losing weight.

Often, people cannot get themselves to stop eating out of habit, since they are used to eating large amounts and cannot imbed the idea of eating less into their minds.

However, other people tend to eat large amounts because of emotional factors. This is often called nervous eating or binge eating, since these people tend to eat large amounts of food very rapidly when they are feeling nervous or stressed.

In order to prevent this instinctive nervous eating, one must control one’s emotions and the amount of food one eats. These are some ways to stop nervous eating.

When people eat nervously, it is a done as a coping mechanism to allow them to escape from their life’s troubles.

However, it is better to not hide from these negative feelings, since avoiding them only makes them worse.

Listen to those emotions and come to understand them, so there won’t be any need to eat nervously in order to escape them.

People who eat nervously are often insecure about themselves and their life, and they often push away people’s compliments and positivity.

However, this can be detrimental, since being more open to positive attitudes can help improve one’s own attitude as well.

Pay attention to people’s compliments and pay them a compliment in return.

Before engaging in nervous eating, it is best to realize what is happening, take a step back, and calm down.

There are many other ways people can calm down besides eating, such as meditation, breathing exercises, or spending time with other people.

All of these things can put the mind at peace without needing to overeat.

Another way to calm oneself down is to engage in activities.

Taking walks, jogging, or even taking a soothing bath can fill that emotional need much better than binging on food.

Even listening to music can calm a person down better than eating a large amount of food.

Keeping a food journal is also beneficial.
