10 Reason You Eat When You’re Not Actually Hungry
- To cope. But if you turn to food for emotional reasons, you won’t resolve the underlying issues.
- Out of boredom. But eating can only last for so long—and then you have an afternoon to fill!
- Because other people are eating. Check in with your hunger level to see if you really need it.
- Because food is there. If you’re unable to nix the trigger food altogether, move the treats out of sight—you’ll be less likely to grab a handful.
- Because it’s a special occasion. Celebrations are about the people, not the food.
- Because you’re tired. A change of scenery might be just the ticket to battle the afternoon lull.
- Because the clock says so. Don’t just eat when the clock tells you to! When mealtime hits, use it as a cue to check in with your current hunger level.
- Because it’s free (or cheap). Always check in with your body’s hunger level before you automatically fill your plate with a freebie.
- Because you can’t say no to food pushers. You can always set the fork down or share the cake with neighbors or co-workers, or simply eat just a small portion.
- Because you suffer from clean plate syndrome. To prevent overeating, take stock throughout your meal to gauge how hungry you are; you might find that you don’t need those last few bites after all.
