Can't Stop Eating!


You might have just finished with a meal or a snack some minutes ago and after relishing it, what was the next thing that clicked your mind? Was it, what's coming up next???


  I agree, food is one of the basic needs of all living beings, but with this, I do not mean that it is ok to think about food 24*7. What sets us apart from other living creatures is the ability to think and rationalize.

 Have you ever noticed a change in your food pattern, like unable to feel satiated inspite of eating more than your regular appetite? I am sure you must have. So, how did you deal with it? Did u take the simple route of falling prey to the temptations and gorging in those extra calories, or did u opt for the harder one of controlling the harsh cravings and rolled over on the bed all night.

There are several reasons that trigger overeating, the commonest ones are stated below.
1.       Cold Weather                                                            
2.       Inadequate Sleep
3.       Physical Stress
4.       Mental Stress
5.       Clinical Condition like Diabetes Mellitus
6.       Premenstrual  Syndrome (PMS)

Hence, it would be wise enough to think of the above factors and take corrective measures before your overeating becomes a habit. After all, nobody likes to see their waistline increasing in size!!   
I will be dealing with each of the factors separately in my following blogs, as each needs to be dealt with in a different ways.

However, some of the solutions to the above causes may sound similar; repetition will only enable me to alert you and provide a reinforcement to bring a change in behavior.
