How many times you did not look in the refrigerator and whatever you got out of there, you will not be able to solve your problem in this way. The fact is that often the presence of a problem makes us dependent on food. We are trying to "seize" our grief, fill the emptiness in the soul, overcome the anxiety. Only this method is ineffective, "satisfaction with life" is extremely short, and the result is obese. Psychological dependence on food is not yet a sentence, you can get rid of this weakness, the main thing is to know how.
We treat the cause, not the disease
Dependence on food, as we have already explained, is of a psychological nature. When the soul is uneasy, we are afraid of something, can not solve any problem, we do not have enough joy, then we come to the refrigerator, in the hope that it will be better for us. Perhaps, the eaten pail with ice cream will give us pleasure, help to forget about the problem for a while, but happiness will not last long. Physical health and psychological health are completely different concepts. Of course, one depends on the other, there is a close relationship between them. However, psychological health has a greater impact on physical health. In other words, what thoughts we visit-positive or continuous negativity and apathy-our body is in the same state. Alas, but a full stomach will not make us an optimist, this alone is not enough.
How to win, an experienced psychologist knows how to overcome his dependence on food. Specialists of this profile study the causes of emotional quakes. Treatment is based not on medicines, but on words, on psychological analysis of a person. To find out the cause of the "illness", to give it an objective assessment (an outward look), to offer alternative solutions to the problem - that's the right way to get rid of the harmful dependence. As soon as you understand your problem, look at the "enemy in the face", proceed to its solution, then your adventures in the kitchen will stop. Either way, dependence on food requires treatment. If you want to cope on your own, then you can try the following:
- Appreciate your life. Look at yourself from the outside and analyze your life. How happy you are with yourself, your work, your personal life.
All this is better to write on paper. - Write something that you would like to change in your life, supplement, forget. Write your goals, desires.
- Suggest options for solving your problems, realizing goals and desires, write tasks.
- Set a time frame for each task and start following your plan.
It's never too late to change something in your life. While there is strength and desire, while the veins are beating blood, one must live. Change your attitude to life, appreciate what you have and strive to become better.
