Food addictions are firmly on the first place in terms of prevalence, ahead of drug addiction and alcoholism. We eat without tasting or smelling food until we feel sick and the belt cuts into our sides. As a consequence — heavy sleep, digestive problems and weight gain, self-hatred and, as in a vicious circle, the return of an uncontrollable desire to seize this hatred.
The cause of most bad habits and food addictions, including — it is the desire for pleasure. Food — it is the strongest and most accessible source of it.
By overeating, we make up for the lack of positive emotions, dull our reactions to stressful situations. Many emotional eaters defend themselves against mentally stronger people. In addition, in our subconscious there is a strong connection between food and sex: both are associated with violation of the boundaries of our body and bring pleasure. We often try to compensate for the lack of love with sex. And when we feel a lack of love and sex, we compensate for this with food.
