Just a little bite or all you can eat makes you worry about the people you meet!
Are you or someone you know suffering from a food addiction? What exactly causes someone to become addicted to food? Is there a substance in the food that chemically addicts a person? Why do some compulsively overeat and others drastically avoid weight gain by under-eating or purging? Well, first lets take a look at the three different types of Food Addiction: Compulsive Over-eating: Compulsive over-eaters generally use food as a coping mechanism to deal with underlying emotional trauma and depression. The binge eating temporarily relieves the stress of these feelings, but unfortunately, it is always followed by more shame, guilt, disgust and depression. Anorexia Nervosa: People suffering from anorexia generally restrict food in an attempt to maintain a minimal body weight. Most have a true fear of gaining weight. Weight loss is viewed as an impressive achievement, and extraordinary example of self discipline, but is a false bolster of self-esteem. If left untreated this addiction can be fatal. Bulimia Nervosa: People suffering from Bulimia eat compulsively and then purge through self-induced vomiting, using laxatives, diuretics, diet pills, chew spitting, vigorous exercise, or other behavior to prevent weight gain. Ironically, many people suffering from Bulimia initially gain weight because the patterns of eating send the body into starvation mode, and it begins to store fat. Like Anorexia weight loss is viewed as an impressive achievement, and extraordinary example of self discipline, but is a false bolster of self-esteem. If left untreated this addiction can be fatal. Are you beginning to see a pattern with all three food addictions? They are all connected to underlying emotional trauma and issues of Self-esteem! As with every addiction the key to abstinence is a high level of self-esteem and coping skills. Self-esteem is the key component to abstinence, but it is not a learned behavior, a commodity that can be purchased, or a fruit that can be plucked from a tree. You see, possessing confidence and merit as a person is a product of self-love, and that comes from within. Therefore, to restore your self-esteem you must first learn to forgive yourself, and second you must tap into your own true personal power. This can be accomplished with Steps 3 and 4 of the 5 steps to addiction freedom program: Step 3: Curing Wounditis Step 4: Awaken the Power Within Take a moment to ask yourself a question; Why does compulsive over-eating, purging, or under-eating make you feel happier, and what emotional pain is it temporarily removing?
