Overeating

When you overeat, what's the trigger? I find myself overeating when I'm bored. Luckily, I don't have too much down time to be bored too often.

Depression or Stress - can make me over eat or not at all.

Hormones? Sometimes I don't know why I can not get enough food. And my ass says "stop it!!"

I eat even when I'm not hungry sometimes. It's kind of like "binge-ing" (how the heck do you spell that?) I guess - sometimes it's just this need to keep tasting food. Sometimes it's chocolate, sometimes salty foods. I'm sure that's a hormone thing.

i sustitute food for emotions on a daily basis. I think we all do that.........

boredom is my main cause of overeating, but if I wait too long in between meals and I'm absolutely starving...that is also when I overeat.

That's cool. I don't over eat but I'd like to learn how. I only weigh 110 pounds but it's interesting that you say you eat more when you're bored or emotional.

Where I come from we don't have emotions, Drinking and smoking five packs a day has really helped me to not be bored or the other because we drink tell we don't feel feelings anymore. THey say you have to replace one habit with another.
