Food
I love food. I'm hungry right now as I type this. I'm actually about to stop and get a snack. Which brings me to what I have to say about it: I wasn't really hungry until I started reading posts about food. A lot of it is REALLY a mental thing. I'll eat dinner before work, completely stuff myself, but when I'm bored at work (I work in the mall), or when I pass Auntie Anne's on my way in; I have to stop. When I'm depressed, I eat a lot. Am I really more hungry? No, but the act of consuming food is actually comforting. Even when I'm not hungry, if I'm in a bad state of mind, I'll eat and eat and eat. Many people think eating disorders are only about starving yourself, but binging on food is an eating disorder too, and definitely a psychological disorder as well.

I completely agree that a huge factor of eating is a mental thing. I will find myself eating when I am bored just to fill time. I also find myself wanting sweets when I am depriving myself of sugar and I don't really even like sweets!

ReplyDeleteI also agree with your whole post. I am the same way when it comes to food. I will be bored while working (i work in a restaurant) and I will just eat to pass the time. Great post!
