Binging out of sadness?

Lol when I'm sad I will eat the whole house for no reason and sometimes not realize it. It all depends on the person and sometimes even the food. I remember even eating foods I didn't like because I was sad. Some days when I was super sad, I wouldn't eat at all which was no good but it sorta naturally happened. Talk to me if you need any help! I'm always here :D

Of course you can. People find happiness in anything and everything, eating is a popular one. It's not generally a bad thing that you are doing it, the bad thing is that you are sad. Being sad is a horrible feeling and I understand that sometimes it can't be helped, if you don't know the reason you are sad then you need to find that out that deal with it, I may be able to help with that. If you do know the reason then, the time will pass when the sadness does go and you realize that the world is beautiful and there is no time for sadness here!

Of course! When you eat food (particularly foods in high sugar and fat)your brain automatically releases dopamine, which is a feel good chemical. In a lot of ways, this results in what we know as comfort eating in individuals who subconsciously eat to combat any feeings of sadness they may feel during the day. It is no coincidence that a lot of people eat more after an emotional trauma such as a death of a loved one or a recent break up. The stereotypical image of someone eating a whole tub of ben and jerries after a break up is a very poignant one. If you're aware of when you're comfort eating, then thats half the battle in making sure that you are not damaging your health in any significant way. What I would say about it though, is dont be afraid to comfort eat a little, we all cope with our own grief in different ways, but remember what Benjamin Franklin once said, 'Eat to live, do not live to eat' Love life Strive to be Happy.Shaman.
