This article will be sharing a few ways to know the difference between physical and emotional hunger.

The difference between physical and emotional hunger

Do you find yourself standing in front of the fridge or cupboard and looking for something to eat? As we stay at home more and have more time to cook and eat, unnecessary snacking and overeating are almost inevitable. In this post, I listed some possible reasons why we might feel like snacking more than usual.

Don’t beat yourself up if it happens to you, it’s completely normal. 🙂

However, if you want to reduce the occurrence, you might want to pay attention to your hunger. In my previous post, I said that we should ask ourselves whether we are physically or emotionally hungry before we start eating.

The problem is that we might not be able to distinguish between physical hunger and emotional (boredom, anxiety, stress, habitual, etc.) hunger or eating for pleasure. This can be really difficult if you use food regularly to distract yourself from or to suppress your feelings.

Looking into how you feel about eating is the first step in the direction of tackling these issues.

When you reach for something to eat, you want to know the real reason why you’re standing there in front of the refrigerator.

I listed some signs that can help you distinguish between emotional and physical hunger.

Are you stuck at home and you can’t stop overeating or snacking?

When you’re stuck at home for some reason, many sources of pleasure and fun activities are removed from your life, e.g. social activities, travelling, going to restaurants, going to the gym, swimming pool, shopping, you name it.

No wonder eating has a more comforting, pleasure-giving role in your life now than it used to and this may result in eating more than usual.

Do you work from home and find yourself overeating way too often? Do you snack all afternoon and stand in front of the fridge more often than you would like to admit?

If you want to prevent weight gain and want to stop unnecessary snacking when you work from home, you need to stop for a few seconds before you eat. Ask yourself: Am I hungry?

If yes, go ahead and eat something nutritious so you won´t get hungry again in a few minutes.

No?
