Do you eat to live or live to eat? Do you turn to food when you’re depressed or anxious? If so, you could be jeopardising your mental and physical health, but there is a way out, and it’s all about breaking the cycle of dependence.
Comfort eating, or overeating, is an extremely easy habit to form and a difficult one to break. Experts readily compare it to smoking and many of the same techniques are used to helping people to give up.
But while smoking may not be exactly natural, eating to soothe the spirit is something we learn from an early age. Dr Linda Blair, clinical psychologist at the University of Bath and specialist in comfort eating, points out that feeding a baby when it cries is a normal response. As children, we are given sweets to cheer us up or as rewards - is it any wonder then that when in need of relaxation or reassurance many of us turn to food?
