Emotional eating can become a “regular, daily demon” that fuels low self-worth as well as weight gain and health problems
While there’s nothing wrong with enjoying the odd bit of comfort food, emotional eating can become problematic for many people, who find themselves battling powerful binge-eating cycles.
While obesity isn’t always as straightforward as simply eating too much, Alexia Dempsey, a specialist eating disorders dietitian at the Priory Hospital in Roehampton , says overeating can be a key contributor – and this can often be dictated by emotions. The occasional glass of wine after a ‘long day’, or rare tub of ice-cream after a break-up isn’t a major worry. Rather, it’s when emotional eating feels out of control, that Dempsey flags as a cause for concern.
