What is emotional eating?

I hear about it a lot but I dont know what is it

Answer #1

Comfort food! Its when your so emotional and just sit down and you start eating and don’t want to stop. Its usually fattening food. I went through a bad break up and I kept eating spoonfuls of hot chocolate powder while sitting on my couch watching movies all day. Your pretty much too depressed to do anything else.

Answer #2

Eatting is supposed to make you happy and boost you up but when your emotions get too low , for some the ony solution they see is eatting and getting that happiness back. It’s like a drug and can be just as fatal in extremes.

Answer #3

Eating after a conflict or event. It doesn’t matter what. It’s going home and eating until your thoughts are overcome with the amusement of the food you are taking in.

Suggestion: Exercise. I think emotional EXERCISE sounds better than… Emotional Eating.

Answer #4

Emotional eating is the practice of consuming large quantities of food – usually “comfort” or junk foods – in response to feelings instead of hunger. Experts estimate that 75% of overeating is caused by emotions.

Answer #5

It’s when people eat to make them feel better about themselves or to try to get red of their emotions.
