A lot of people ask, "How do I know if I am overeating for emotional reasons?"

Luckily, figuring this out is one of the easiest things to do. There are very specific symptoms and signs that you can look for. If any of the following statements sound like they could apply to you, then it's likely you are struggling with emotional eating.

1. My hunger comes on suddenly.
Physical hunger comes on slowly. Hunger from emotional eating often comes on quickly and suddenly.

2. I crave specific foodsgenerally not carrot sticks or steamed broccoli.
Cravings for specific usually unhealthy foods are a sign of emotional eating. Often people like the rush they get from satisfying their cravings. That rush is fulfilling emotional hunger.

3. My hunger feels urgentI need a particular food right away and I'm willing to walk out of my way, or get in your car late at night, or raid my kid's Halloween candy to get it.
Physical hunger, unless you haven't eaten for a very long time, is usually pretty patient. It will wait for food.

Diagnose Spielsucht

By Silke Hoffmann

Wo kann man also die Linie zwischen harmloses Glcksspiele Spielen und problematisches Spielen ziehen? Wie kann man feststellen, ob jemand aus Spa spielt oder aus Sucht spielt? Welche Symptome verraten einen Spielschtigen? Hier knnen Sie Antworten auf diese Fragen und andere Fragen bezglich Spielsucht und Spielschtige finden.

Was bedeutet Spielsucht?
Spielsucht oder krankhaftes Spielen werden als ein unkontrollierbarer Drang definiert, trotz der zerstrenden Wirkung des Spielens auf das Leben des Glcksspielers und trotz Gefhle der Schuld und Reue, zu spielen und sein Geld zu verlieren. Spielschtige neigt dazu, ihr Hoffnungen auf das Gewinnen und Wiedergewinnen ihres verlorenes Geldes in den Glcksspiele zu setzten. Dabei ignorieren sie die negative Wirkung des Spielens auf ihre eigene Persnlichkeit, auf die negative Wirkung auf ihrem Umfeld und Kontakte zu Beziehungsmenschen. Familien werden zerstrt, Freundschaften existieren nicht mehr, der Mensch isoliert sich. Schwere Flle des Problem-Spielens knnen als pathologisches Spielen definiert werden.

Bin ich ein Spielschtig? Hier der ultimative Test!
1) Spielen Sie, bis Ihr letzter Cent abluft?
2) Spielen Sie, um Ihre ehemaligen Verluste oder Schulden wiederzugewinnen?
3) Mussten Sie jemals Geld

Everybody knows about the health risks of overeating. What some people don't know is that emotional eating is the biggest factor in overeating. Without understanding emotional eating, losing weight is virtually impossible.

Overeating and emotional eating, however, have many hidden consequences. Below are five you should consider.

1. It Can Damage Your Relationships

Relationship stress is one of the most common triggers for overeaters. When there's tension, or in the aftermath of a fight, food seems like a safe haven. Once in a while, this escape into flavor is normal.

However, the more accustomed you get to the relief, the sooner and more frequently you will turn to food when the going gets rough in a relationship. Instead of working through your differences in the living room with your spouse, friend, or family member, you will find yourself making a trip to the kitchen at the very first sign of tension. As time goes on, problems pile up in the relationship, tensions build, and tempers flair. The habit of turning to food for comfort gets so ingrained that you don't learn

Nobody Walks On Water These Days

By Aydan Corkern

Have you ever heard someone saying that a person could be walking on water or walking in the clouds? If you were talking about someone walking with their head in the clouds, it could mean that they are so in love with someone that it is all they have on their minds. It could mean that they had just gotten a new job, or that they had come into a lot of money.

Sometimes we think that if a person holds their head up and doesn't talk much that they are either stuck-up or just in the clouds.
