Who else is an emotional eater?

I am a big emotional eater.
I'm looking for coping strategies other than food.
I completely sympathize with fat people because I know that food can be addictive.

How do you handle your dependence on food in times of emotional turmoil ?

Sounds like you may have anxiety bro. Theres tons of coping strategies for this. But really mindfulness and just being present helps a lot. If you are super anxious all the time or having panic attacks you should check in with your doctor.

i tend to binge with anything i do; eating, drinking, using drugs. through meditation i realized that the compulsion to binge is just a thought that you can choose to separate yourself from. I say if ur gonna emotional eat choose something that isn't pure **** and take breaks inbetween each bite that will make you eat less

Yeah I eat a bunch of carrots, but I've been eating like 1000 calories of graham crackers every night.
I've gained like 5lbs in the last month.

get rid of all the ****ty food in ur place and dont buy any. SRS if you just force yourself to eat slow instead of ransacking that **** down ur mouth at light speed, you will get out of the binge state faster and eat less

I don't even eat that fast.
I just like to have things in my mouth in period of stress.
I would chew 2-3 packs of gum a day.

You're right. The graham crackers have to go. I bought them as a way to have a convenient source of pre-work carbs as I'm leaving work.

The thing is that I would sometimes eat when I'm not even hungry just for the feeling.
Gum helps, but my jaw hurt. I also developed a strong jaw muscle imbalance as I chew more on one side without paying attention.

I'll just order some more gum

Alcohol is more calorically dense than most food I eat.
Plus, it's bad for the liver and gains.
I don't drink.
The whole point is to avoid excess calories since I already have some form body image issues.

Also, I'm pretty sure my mom wasn't into oral. Too religious for that hehe

I think I eat about 3500/day max when binging hard. Regular eating is about 2800/day.

honestly brah, idk if youre ready to hear this. I was the same way. it means you are deeply unhappy with the direction your life is going. food is your release/comfort but it shouldn't be. find your true destiny in life and food will lose its allure as a coping mechanism and you will stop looking to it for dopamine. once I figured out my path in life I started doing IF/OMAD and only think of food right before im eating.

I'm already doing IF
I think I'm depressed and anxious sometimes.
I don't think it will change because I don't believe in destiny or purpose. I'm not the romantic type

Simply put, if you can find a job or career you love, a hobby you love, or a kid to raise or some sht. basically you need things you really care about and things you can nurture in your life. you'll get true happiness and fulfillment and you can stop looking for food as your primary source of pleasure.

Just stand infront of a mirror and turn sideways while your depressed binge eating. If you don't get disgusted by the fat you've accumulated then continue eating until you do.

How do you handle your dependence on food in times of emotional turmoil ?
Eating as a distraction/mindless eating is more what it sounds like. No perfect solution here.

- build it in by eating less at regular meals
- choose something with less calories
- measure out a portion/don't eat straight from the container
- find something else to do with your hands- draw, knit, fidget toys, putty
- find something else to put in your mouth- they sell silicone beads/jewelery

I try. I can tell you that beating yourself up about it doesn't help. If I'm really tense I might avoid eating, but it will probably manifest someplace else like super tense tight neck and shoulders or chewing on my fingers/nails.

I've accomplished a lot, and came to the realization that I will never be satisfied.
I love school and lifting, but reality always comes back.
The food is more so for anxiety rather than depression.

It's like when I have a presentation to prepare for a meeting, uncertain about something that might happen, or unhappy with my productivity.

I was seeing hookers, but it can get expensive. I just need another drug that is not so destructive.

Good insight
I do eat popcorn and gym. I also drink a ton of diet drinks.
I think I'm very orally fixated because I used to eat stuff like paper when I was a kid.

I'll try doing things in the meantime.

Eating disorder crew. Anxiety disorder crew. Depression crew.. Seek therapy srs, therapy has helped me more than speaking with a nutritionist, they help you find a better coping mechanism and how to avoid destructive behaviors. A lot of nutritionist are one size fits all and not really get to the root of the problem. Also chew gum or ice.
