Winter is in full swing here in Chicago, so I thought I’d embrace the coziness of this season by cozying up in my favorite coffee shop today and write to you about the three reasons why you may be eating past fullness.
- You did not eat enough: One reason you find yourself eating past fullness is because you did not eat enough. Simple as that. If you are skipping meals throughout the day, eventually your body is going to cry for nourishment and eat all the things as much as possible for fear of not sure when it will get food again. By the way, this is a totally NORMAL response as it is your body’s way of wanting to keep you safe.
- You are going through a very stressful time in your life and to relieve the stressor, you turn to food: A common reason you may be eating past fullness is because you are going through a situation that is causing high stress and you use food to help you soothe. In my 1:1 Private Coaching program, we come up with other ways to also lower stress levels that don’t involve with food.
- You restrict certain foods due to thinking they are “bad” only to turn around and binge on those foods: You restrict the food you avoid until you no longer are able to, or if you get exposed to those foods, you then tend to binge those foods. This is why giving yourself permission to eat all the foods helps lower the desirability of those foods and no longer make them high on a pedestal.
I hope these tips help you see why eating past fullness occurs. Eating past fullness is your body’s way of wanting to survive and keep you safe. I go more into this topic among others when it comes to having peace with food in my coaching program!
