How Deprivation Leads to Emotional Eating

<p>Let's call diets what they are:  deprivation. </p> <p>They deprive your body of food and valuable nutrients.  And your body needs those!  That's why eventually, your body rebels against your diet, and often in a <em>big way</em>.  After days, weeks, or months of dieting, your body will eventually say, "Enough!  I want food and I want it now!"  And you find yourself eating to the point of feeling stuffed.  </p> <p>But diets also deprive our emotional system of comfort.  And that system also rebels against dieting at some point. </p> <p>If you're an emotional eater, dieting takes away one of--<em>if not your only</em>--coping skill.  It's impossible for that to last.  You're going to turn back to food at some point, which makes complete and utter sense.  </p> <p>On today's episode, we're talking about what happens when we deprive ourselves of food physically and emotionally.  Spoiler alert--it all goes back to food.  We're also talking about how diets deprive us socially, because yep, they do that too.  </p> <p>Where to find me:  <a href= "https://www.yourweightisnotyourworth.com/">https://www.yourweightisnotyourworth.com/</a></p> <p>Facebook group:  <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/groups/2660578360926813">https://www.facebook.com/groups/2660578360926813</a></p> <p>Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/kimdanielspsyd/</p> <p> </p>
