Overeating to improve your mood

It’s important to find mood-boosting activities if you’re an emotional eater. Overeating to improve your mood is only a temporary solution. 

They say the third week of January is the gloomiest, most depressing time of the year (it’s cold and dark, etc.). I know it’s already the 4th week but does it really matter? It could be any day of the year. 

But it doesn’t have to be.

We can find a few minutes every day to do something that improves our mood. Or we can learn to manage our thoughts and feelings to improve our baseline mood.

It’s especially important to find some mood-boosting activities if you’re an emotional eater and overeat to improve your mood. 

Using food to escape an uncomfortable feeling, aka. overeating to improve your mood is only a temporary solution. 

You know that, right?

Because that ‘something’ that caused you to feel uncomfortable is still there. You haven’t dealt with it. So it’ll trigger those same feelings again in the future. 

If this habit of distracting yourself with food has resulted in weight gain, you’ll have even more negative feelings. 

So you have your original issue plus negative thoughts about your body.

Eating to improve your mood doesn’t work very well, right?
