Eating-Disorders

By: "Rich jammes"

With the rise of obesity in today's society everyone is looking for quick weight loss. This is a bad idea, and often will lead to developing binge eating disorder. Eating disorders are psychiatric abnormalities in one's eating habits. Tabloids display the secret eating disorders of celebrities and music artists. Yet the news never discuss how serious these eating disorders really are, and how common they are.
Most quick weigh loss techniques require extreme unrealistic diets. Obviously these diets never keep the weight off. Even when a diet works, often the pounds lost are gained back slowly simply because no one can stay on a diet forever. The problem with quick weight loss attempts is that they often require you to stay away from junk foods and fast foods. This usually leads to binge eating.

Emotional Eating
Step 1. Know Your Enemy
To be able to stop your binging in its tracks you first need to know which emotional trigger applies to your situation.
Do you eat when you are bored, stressed, upset? Finding your weak point will help you make a plan for when those situations arise.
Step 2. Understand Your Cravings
The next step is identifying which foods you crave at those times and find a substitute.
If you have a chocolate craving then you might be lonely or upset. Bananas have the same mood boosting properties without the calories.
A yearning for crunchy crisps is often associated with frustration, think of healthier snacks that pack the same crunch factor such as apples or celery.
Step 3. Remind Yourself That Food Won't Fix the Problem
Food can't fix emotional issues. The only problem that food can solve is hunger. Sure eating might make you feel good in the short term, but to fully conquer your cravings you need to understand that food isn't going to help.

Tips to Control You’re Eating
1.) Eat Slowly
This is a pretty big one I think. People are WAY too quick to stuff their mouth full of food and gorge it down. I sometimes wonder if they were even able to TASTE the food that went in. Slow it down a little bit. Chew slowly and savor the taste of the food in your mouth. Doing this will allow you to "feel" when you are actually getting full, rather than just eating all you can and realizing later that you've stuffed yourself with way too much food.
2.) Be In Charge of Yourself
Don't let other people tell you when to eat! Just because someone's going out to get something to eat, doesn't mean you have to go too. Listen to your own stomach and eat only when you are hungry.
3.) Leave Some Leftovers
Pretty self explanatory here. Just because you have a plate full of food, doesn't mean you have to eat it all! Try to control yourself and maybe even make it your goal not to eat the whole plate and leave a little left over for later. Then your next meal could be the leftover food and you would basically have two meals in one. This is an obviously simple way to lose some weight and control your eating. Very Helpful!

Eating Disorder Treatment
Before treatment can begin, you must have an understanding of the causes and common conditions of eating disorders. This is where a professional facility can be of enormous help. While many people can be conscious of their dietary habits, those with an eating disorder are overly obsessed with following rigid diets.
Secretly gorging food, throwing up after meals, and counting calories obsessively are also warning signs. However, eating disorders go beyond a person having unhealthy dietary habits.
These conditions also include a distorted self-critical attitude about one's weight, food and body image. Damaging behaviors are the result of these negative thoughts and feelings and a program created by good eating disorder clinics is essential for recovery.
