We are still celebrating
Women's month in South Africa and it is not out of the ordinary for women to be emotional on this month. Women are naturally known to be
emotional creatures hence they are often guilty of
emotional eating. Emotional eating is "the practice of consuming large quantities of food, usually known as
comfort or junk food, in response to feelings instead of hunger".

In often cases emotional eating is caused by depression, stress, boredom, loneliness, anger, anxiety, professional or workplace problems, problems with personal or inerpersonal relationships and even poor self esteem.

Since women are ofen the guilty ones of emotional eating and it is
Women's month, isn't it about time that women take ownership over their own health and well-being? Always remember this everytime you think of finishing that large slice of that juicy chocolate cake that is displayed at the office canteen,
a moment on your lips equals a lifetime on your hips!
Absolutely! Women need to realise that you are what you eat. A healthy body means a healthy mind. How do we expect ourselves to do well in our studies? More depression! Summer's almost here, let's quit eating like the world's about to end and see therapists for our emotional problems.
ReplyDeleteI must say you hit the nail on the head, we need to take better care of ourselves.

ReplyDeleteIt all starts with what you eat!
DeleteA Woman should always take care of their health in order look beautiful. some few excersize won't kill you.great advices.
ReplyDeleteExercising is a great way of staying active.
DeleteI suggest that women should reduce eating junk food frequently because are unhealthy to their health. And they must also excercise everyday in order to live a healthy lifestyle.
ReplyDeleteIt is not only women that eat junk food. Men also do it, it's just that women do it more openly than men.
Deleteomg this is really deep ,i for one eat junk like nobodys business .im def changing my diet thanx sizzle
ReplyDeleteGlad I got through to you. Don't cut it out totally, just reduce the quantity and how many times you indulge yourself.
Deletei think that women should always take care of them self because they are the ones that give birth to our children
ReplyDeleteMen should also play their part.
DeleteThis alo applies to men.Everyone needs to eat healthy
ReplyDeleteThank you very much!
Deletewomen should always take care of their bodies but if you under depression and feel that you need to eat i think that they should just eat.
ReplyDeleteNo! They shouldn't, and it is not only women that indulge, men do it too.
DeleteA healthy woman is a happy woman,woman should take care of themselves.
ReplyDeleteA healthy man is a happy man. Men should also learn to take care of themselvess too you know.
DeleteSo true all youve said is really needed cause South Africas obesity rate is increasing alarmingly.
ReplyDeleteIt is really shocking, women and men in general should learn to care for their bodies.
DeleteThe easy part is finding out what has to be done the hard part is doing it
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. Truth is, there is not much information on physical and phsycological help for people that stress eat. People that suffer from this disorder are scared to come out and ask for help.
Deleteasking for help suggests you give yourself over to judgement, and most people are afraid of being judged. so it is better to suffer in silence, than ask for help.
DeleteI find this quite informative. Women should take advice from this post and exercising is essential. remember when you look good you feel good.
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you think it is informative, but keep in mind that it is not only women that need to take care of themselves, men need to do it too.
