Eating Test Methodology
Okay, here’s a heads up – this explanation is a bit technical. The eating quiz design methodology assumes that disturbance in eating is because of emotional hunger, and not any other psychological conditions or any kind of substance abuse.
Normal Hunger vs Emotional Hunger
Emotional eating is different from true physical hunger as physical hunger develops slowly. Physical hunger has no negative emotions attached to it and after food intake, there is a feeling of fullness and satisfaction with food. Furthermore, there is a link between guilt and dissatisfaction after emotional eating.
How to Deal with Emotional Hunger
Food cravings are not only hard to control, they can become emotionally draining. We end up going into an endless loop of assuring ourselves it won’t happen the next time.
Not to worry, dear visitor. We got you covered! Here is a step-by-step emotional eating control technique that actually works:
- Acknowledgment – Accept that emotional eating is not the right coping strategy, along with the fact that it can be controlled with the right mindset and a little bit of determination.
- Make notes – Take a mental or physical note of ‘what’ and ‘when’ are you eating. This will give you a clear understanding of your eating habits and their consequences.
- Ask for help – Let your friends or family know about your journey to a healthier living. Talk about your emotional needs and try to make them understand why this is important to you.
- Exercise & Yoga – Make exercise your priority. Stretching exercises and relaxation exercises like yoga and meditation can go a long way in maintaining a good physical & emotional state.
- Positive Self-talk – Happy and good thoughts can trick your mind to believe in the positive side of the situation. Use positive affirmations to manage emotional hunger and upgrade your lifestyle.
