Why People Overeat

Boredom: Many people become bored eating the same bland junk food day after tedious day. Ironically this boredom causes them to eat even more bland junk food.

T.V. snacks: T.V. snacks are extremely unhealthy. In fact, eating any form of electrical appliance is best avoided.

Habit: It is very easy to get into the eating habit – you wake in the morning and have breakfast, round about midday you have lunch, in the evening you have dinner and before you go to bed you have supper. Fortunately the habit can easily be broken by eating dinner first thing in the morning, supper at midday, breakfast in the evening and lunch at bedtime.

Unhappiness:  Being overweight causes unhappiness.  Being unhappy cause you to comfort eat. Comfort eating causes you to become overweight.

It’s Today: Diets always start tomorrow so it’s always all right to eat today.

Stress:  During times of extreme worry and anxiety many people find it more convenient to indulge in unhealthy snacks than to commit suicide.

Social reasons: Business lunches, parties and entertaining guests are all perfectly acceptable excuses to eat till you flop.

Self Pity: When you are feeling sorry for yourself nothing boosts the ego more effectively than a huge slice of chocolate gateau.

Hunger: A pathetic excuse often given for eating. The true reason is always one of the above.
