7 signs that you are addicted to food
Addiction, as described “is a repetitive habit that degenerates or causes some damage to the addict and those who live with him.” In addiction people tend to lose control of the situation and still find it difficult to move away from compulsion. But there are still some signs that can help you identify if you have food addiction.
1. You hide food in secret places
This is a fairly common habit for people addicted to food. They usually create their own stock of groceries in a place that only they know, so they can “attack” when they want and without being criticized for eating again.
2. You eat when you are anxious, sad or happy
The food for you is comforting. If you are anxious waiting for a news, she will be your companion, if your day was bad she will help you to suffer less and when you are very happy she will accompany you in the celebrations. This is the thought of who is addicted to food.
3. You feel the urge to eat whenever you see someone eating
Are you the kind of person who just sees someone chewing that will soon ask what it is and if there is any little bit for you? Food addicts usually want to eat without being hungry, think about it.
4. Mind over the amount of food you eat
When talking about it with your friends and family tends to lie about the amount of what you eat trying not to identify the “cause” of your overweight?
5. Eat less in front of other people
In a restaurant or in front of friends do you put less food on the plate and eat more after you’re alone? Caution.
6. Eat and regret
Do you attack the refrigerator and eat all the yummy things you find there, and then you feel bad about not having eaten all that and you’re angry at yourself?
7. Think quantity rather than quality
Having the full plate is your main goal, after all what counts is the quantity is not it? You delight in looking at all that exaggerated amount of food and eats so quickly that you do not even taste the food.
If you have identified with these behaviors take care, rethink your actions and if necessary seek help from a professional so that you can reverse this addiction in time not to damage your health. Take care!
