Why do I end up eating more even if I am not really hungry?

For too many people eating is often less about nutrition and nourishment and more about feelings. We often eat when we are not hungry. (I often tell people to take my APPLE test: If you are REALLY hungry, an apple will do the trick.

If you are not, and you think only sweets or other empty calories are all that you want, you are probably eating for emotional reasons.) That said, sometimes we start eating for the best of reasons and even make excellent choices -- but find that we cannot stop. For many people eating is reinforcing, which means it is rewarding, and when something is rewarding, we keep doing it. The other problem is that so many people eat mindlessly, while they are on the computer, on their phone, watching TV, in the car.

And if you aren't paying attention, it is easy to blindly keep going. As such, just eating when you are eating can be a way to take your time, check in with yourself, and slow down. Eating serves too many psychological purposes for too many people, and as a result, before we know it, we find we are using eating to do everything but what it was actually designed to do -- give us energy and nutrition.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
