Signs That You're An Emotional Eater

You Eat To Feel Happy

Of course your mother’s classic, secret recipe makes you feel good because it reminds you of home and the comfort your mother gave you as a child. And there is no denying the joy a good piece of chocolate can spark something beautiful in your soul. These culturally acceptable food connections can lead you to eat to feel happy instead of finding happiness within yourself or from healthier, more beneficial activities. Eating certain foods can produce the right mixture of hormonal responses to make you feel happy, but if you eat to feel happy as your only or main source of happiness, an unhappy and unhealthy outcome is certain.
