Compulsive overeating

Compulsive eating (uncontrolled overeating that is not related to hunger) was investigated in 279 college women with the use of a self-report questionnaire. Results indicated a relationship between unpleasant emotional states (boredom, depression, anxiety, loneliness, anger),compulsive eating and the calming effect of eating.

If you tend to feel unhappy, then you might find yourself eating as a form of self-medication to make yourself feel better. What else might you do to lighten your mood. Phone a friend maybe, go out for a walk, go and see a film or take up knitting.

Hypnotherapy helps you to deal with your emotions, so if this is the cause of your overeating, why not deal with the cause, using hypnotherapy?
