Love

The positive and negative emotions associated with love and relationships are a major influence on how much and what we eat.

Love, lack of love and inappropriate love can create complex and hard to manage mental and emotional issues. One of our first experiences of the food / love relationship was soon after birth, as we enjoyed physical contact and food from our mothers. This emotional link can remain for the whole of our lives.

An emotive area of the food / love relationship relates to abuse, and a subconscious desire to protect ones self from further abuse. The self-protect mechanism is very powerful and to defend against inappropriate attention a person may seek to become less attractive, this is easiest achieved by over eating and becoming obese. This is a double whammy and the overeating also provides comfort.

Dealing With Emotional Eating

Emotional eating is a well know and well documented slimming issue, where food is used to help manage and balance emotional problems. Often this is an automatic need reaction, sometimes almost an obsessive compulsion.

Many of the therapists who have registered with Relax and Slim are trained in relationship and emotional management, so can help our clients understand and deal with those emotional issues that are undermining their weight management.

If we are to deal with emotional eating we must look at the difficult emotions associated with love and the problems finding love can bring.

We have dedicated a separate page to this topic.
