In this post, I write about the connection between hating your body and emotional eating.
Many people go through life body shaming themselves because they are a few pounds or several pounds heavier than they would like to be or they are not where they were ten years ago.
Of course, hearing their own voice saying negative things about themselves in their head many times a day will make them feel miserable and they might even feel like a failure. A common way people deal with difficult emotions and negative self-image is ironically: (binge) eating. Eating is an inexpensive, quick, easy, and reliable way to temporarily take away the pain and hurt of how we feel.
