In the Georgian language there is a word SHEMOMECHAMA - “I didn’t want to, but it ate itself”, and in Japanese - KUCHISABISHI - “when you are not hungry, but your stomach is lonely without food.” Please and relax yourself with food naturally, quickly and affordably. And that's why emotional eating has become a problem for millions of people. 📎The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared obesity the most serious problem of the 21st century. Globally, more than 1.9 billion people over 18 years of age were overweight in 2016, accounting for about 39% of the world's adult population. At the same time, over 650 million people (13%) were obese. Between 1975 and 2016, the number of people suffering from obesity more than tripled. Problems in the cognitive-emotional sphere are common to anyone who compensates for their “bad mood” with delicious food. Often there are features common to anxiety-depressive disorder: rigid and black-and-white thinking, a tendency to “get stuck” in emotions and to unfounded generalizations, decreased ability to solve problems, planning, poor tolerance of expectations, catastrophizing of the situation, low self-esteem. The psyche takes on features impulsiveness and unpredictability of behavior, irritability, passivity and dependence, vulnerability, infantilism, emotional instability. Women with eating disorders have significantly lower (p≤0.01) time competence; they view their lives discretely, without connection with the past and future, concentrated on one period (mainly “here and now”), they have a reduced ability to live at a given moment in time, the need for self-actualization. Solving the problem of emotional eating implies a multidisciplinary approach, including the cooperation of a doctor, psychologist, psychotherapist and nutritionist. The main course that I will launch at the end of February will be a simple short tutorial on the basic principles of non-restrictive nutrition, the adherence to which leads to sustainable health. Eating is just a symptom of neurosis. Everyone will figure out your main internal conflict on their own, and it always answers the question: how do I WANT to live, but I live differently? Deeply, to the very essence, without reference to appearance and current trends: what each of you wants, but does not get. 🖇️What conclusion do I propose from these scientific reports? You can and should work with thinking. Just like understanding that under certain difficulties in relationships with food lies a neurotic conflict that each of us has. The only difference is that someone knows how to deal with it and compensate for it environmentally and/or unnoticed by society, while someone is still in the process of learning. I present one of the exercises here: I suggest you answer a number of questions, preferably writing down the answers: C What kind of eating behavior do you want to work on? At what time of day and where does this behavior usually occur? Step-by-step analysis of behavior before (starting from the urge), during and after (feelings regarding the perfect) - description of the behavior. Are other people involved? If so, what emotion at this moment is associated with the person or your interaction with this person? What specific feelings do you have before committing the act in question? What aspect of this behavior causes the most pleasant feelings? Are these feelings of excitement and stimulation or relaxation? What childhood events does this resemble? How do you feel when you focus on the sensation of this behavior? What associations arise with it (for example, overeating - safety, calmness, alcohol - strength, fun). Clearly identify this positive association and highlight what triggers lead to this behavior.
