addiction can often go undetected unless you know the telltale signs with that in mind here are the
10 most common symptoms of food addiction enough is enough craving food regardless of being hungry
yep there's always room you just finished a very filling dinner and there's nothing left on your
plate but crumbs and a full stomach yet you still want something else something that will
undoubtedly hit the spot it may come as a shock to some but being drawn back to the fridge after
enjoying one of the three recommended daily meals is a scenario all too familiar for many
about it the overwhelming feeling of not being satisfied after eating regardless of having a
full stomach is common with food addiction that's the power the almighty food craving can have often
appearing shortly after eating and in some cases immediately following a meal cravings for your
favorite Savory or sweet snack will surface fueling the urge to once again partake in a
session of overindulgence a craving differs from Hunger often having nothing to do with appetite
it's entirely psychological serving to provide an endorphin release rather than provide nourishment
or energy most experts agree that the regions of the brain responsible for memory pleasure and
reward play a major role in food cravings with the appetite centers of the brain also involved
there are other contributing factors responsible for food cravings such as emotional issues and
hormonal imbalances these hormones can include serotonin and leptin to name a few so the next
time the Call Comes rushing of the year in the middle of the night for a tasty slice of whatever
happens to be inside the refrigerator or Pantry remember it's the brain not the stomach who's
calling eating more than originally planned what I said was the bacon and eggs you have for many
out there the ability to make their way to The Pantry fetch a bag of chips or perhaps a handful
of chocolate covered almonds and proceed to enjoy the snack resting in their hand until finished
is little more than an afterthought however for those with food addictions this isn't an option
a handful can easily turn into two three four and ultimately an empty package as your brain tells
you that one is Never Enough and moderation is simply not an option someone with a food
addiction will often intend to enjoy a simple morsel of their favorite treat but will find
it impossible to stop and will continue eating until there's nothing left the mindset is always
there but the ability to put the brakes on the situation is the missing element did you steal
my Cheetos again The Continuous consumption beyond what was originally planned and the inability to
feel satisfied often occurs simultaneously some experts in food psychology have suggested adopting
alternatives to your preferred snacks that offer the same endorphin release from the brain foods
such as dark chocolate and even a large selection of berries may not seem as tasty as their junk
food siblings however these are a few of the foods that will have your brain pumping out
those feel-good hormones just as effectively as your go-to snack of choice fooling the brain seems
to be half the battle time to show the brain who's boss over indulging to the point of feeling sick I
hate too much bacon having one more slice of pizza is one thing and is usually the plan after all who
Among Us hasn't glanced down after savoring the last bite and decided to pick up another slice
however it's an entirely different ball game when one more slice turns into eating past the point of
I'm full and to the point of discomfort and Beyond has anybody talked to Tom I can't even imagine
what that tiny little man must be feeling like reaching the point of nausea is not unheard of
with individuals who have a food addiction once a person dealing with a food addiction has exceeded
their capacity City it isn't as simple as telling yourself okay that's enough as with any addiction
there are several factors that are at play family history may be a factor behind over indulgence a
history of addiction within your family can often lead to addiction of any kind in the preceding
Generations most experts suggest identifying trigger foods and trying to avoid bringing them
into the home or at least keeping those foods such as chips and cookies out of sight however
most experts will advise you to not get rid of all your favorite treats as getting rid of all
of these Foods may lead to feeling deprived and can lead to another bout of overeating to

feeling guilty immediately after eating what have I done I know sitting down after a hard day
at work before venturing into the kitchen for a quick pick-me-up is something everyone can relate
to however enjoying a Savory bag of chips a rich chocolate bar or any number of delightful snacks
only to find yourself overwhelmed with guilt immediately after consumption is an Affliction
often felt by those with food addiction feelings of guilt either proceeding or following a moment
of enjoying your favorite food is a common dilemma with food addiction often coming about
after trying to exhibit self-control when faced with the option of eating or over indulging the
feelings of guilt and shame can weigh heavy on an individual psyche the negative feelings that come
with thoughts that you've somehow failed yourself can lead to more negative feelings however despite
the feelings of guilt a person dealing with food addiction will continue to repeat the cycle again
and again and again food psychologists have suggested that feelings of guilt after eating
may not be from food and in fact may stem from a lack of self-confidence and low self-esteem if a
person with food addiction begins to feel guilt after eating experts suggest taking
a moment to reflect on what's happened asking questions questions such as what happened that
made me want to eat this food what was my mood before eating what were the exact triggers that
led to the feelings of guilt and finally what could I have done differently that would have
resulted in a different outcome taking a moment of self-reflection offers you a chance to take back
some control and possibly avoid guilty thoughts making excuses for excessive eating my diet starts
tomorrow opening up a package of sandwich cookies after a bad day at work glancing down at a Savory
bag of tortilla chips before indulging after receiving some bad news or treating yourself
because any calories eaten today will be burned off tomorrow with a strenuous amount of exercise
another fun fact your brain Burns twenty percent of the calories you consume these are all excuses
that tend to go hand in hand with anyone with food addiction rationalizing and trying to
convince yourself that it's okay to partake is an unfortunate psychological tool a food addict's
brain will often employ as it's often easy to put something off for one day similar to that New
Year's resolution that you may find you're unable to stick to the excuse gives the option of a way
out with justification the brain is often one step ahead of any plans a food addict May conjure up to
fend off the inevitable food psychologists have suggested taking the time to see what excuses
you're telling yourself then think about whether these excuses are true failed attempts at trying
to quit this is my second Burger Okay I lied it's my fourth to say that trying to overcome
addiction of any kind is monumentally difficult is an understatement most people with food addiction
will often make several attempts to quit eating in excess but to no avail whether the attempt is
using the cold turkey method or slowly trying to wean yourself off of your favorite foods
the result is usually the same better luck next time some may even place a set of strict rules
to ensure that their attempt at quitting will end in success however allowing one last cheat meal
or a send-off binge before finally ending the food love affair is often met with consistent
failure if at first you don't succeed try try again isn't an option in this case most experts
will implore you to seek help from Specialists who can offer you a better process of quitting
that will prove more effective with a myriad of food psychologists and counselors available
professional help is only a phone call or website away keep in mind the old saying if at first you
don't succeed try try again sure it may be a bit tired or cliche but it's nonetheless a statement
to live by keeping your eating habits secret our secret heading downstairs in the middle of the
night and making your way into the kitchen ever so quietly as to not wake your spouse or significant
other than train toward a pack of goodies nestled behind a set of dishes perhaps making your way
into the basement to do laundry only to retrieve a snack from your pocket these are all examples of
a need to keep eating habits known to you and you alone often with food addiction the feeling that
your food habits must be kept a secret or just as powerful as any other usually stemming from guilt
shame or fear of being judged a person dealing with food addiction may also attempt to avoid
divulging all the information about their eating habits choosing only to reveal half of what they
may have eaten during the day okay let's say it is ice cream I didn't need it I couldn't I'm
lactose intolerant when attempting to overcome secret eating most experts have stated to avoid
adapting the mindset of assuming what others are thinking thoughts or comments from another person
or more often directed toward themselves as a conscious or subconscious self-critique for the
most part the world is far too busy worrying about itself so keep that in mind it'll go a
long way to stop concealing your food habits from others an inability to quit despite health
risks I'm diabetic but I silly trigger out of the bank for many food is seen as a necessity
simply a source of fuel for the body and nothing more for others food is much more the part's so
good I hate it you just graduated high school food can be a pleasurable experience that goes
beyond simply being fuel for the body for food addicts the addiction to food more specifically
the overindulgence of food can lead to a host of health problems those health problems can include
depression low self-esteem and problems with digestion some of the more serious issues such
as heart disease and obesity can lead to long last seen permanent health problems having the
knowledge of possibly causing harm to yourself may not be enough to stop as addiction can prove
to be a powerful force despite the consequences food psychologists and other experts will point
to cognitive behavioral therapy to Aid the food addict cognitive behavioral therapy helps
you feel better about yourself and stops the negative feelings that lead to binging to the
point of major health risks these Specialists May prescribe certain drugs such as antidepressants
that will help with your general mood which can lead to the end of overeating and subsequently
the end of health risks obsessive thoughts or preoccupation with food bacon-wrapped shrimp

stuck in an endless loop daydreaming about a mouth-watering cheeseburger as you fill your car
with gas or perhaps fidgeting with your keyboard while at work as you stare past your monitor

an image of a hot fudge sundae slowly begins to melt over its container this is a common scenario
for someone with a food addiction favorite foods occupy your thoughts while attempting to go about
doing daily routines a person with food addiction can spend countless hours obsessing about their
most desired treats chicken nugget I like to eat you while I drive these obsessive thoughts can
be more than a simple distraction leading to activating cravings and seeking out whatever
happens to be floating around in the mind experts say that sinking about food is not abnormal by any
means however if you do find yourself obsessively thinking about your favor Retreats they suggest a
homeostatic pathway in your brain telling you that you're in need of fuel could be the problem other
factors could be stress or even outside stimuli compelling you to think about your favorite foods
food psychologists will often recommend personal assessment and offer up techniques to occupy your
mind with thoughts unrelated to food your best friend is always a professional so you shouldn't
hesitate to seek one out for help there may be an underlying problem also whoever used this
spoon their body ain't right food addiction can be looked at like an iceberg only the tip peeks out
from the surface of the water while the majority of the Berg remains hidden beneath the water the
same can be said in certain cases of an addiction to eating the over consumption of food may be an
underlying symptom of a more profound problem with food simply providing a temporary solution
