Bad Eating Habits Can be Replaced With Good Eating Choices

By Joseph D. Cooper


In life most of the decisions we make are driven by our subconscious mind more so than our conscious mind. Often the things we do are not done from a position of strength but rather from a position of weakness. This is especially true in the area of food.

By observing what you eat and your behavior toward food on a daily basis you will discover the truth of this. You would be surprised to see that much of what you eat you eat because it is there and not because you are really hungry. To find out three main reasons that are responsible for why we eat what we do and when we eat it,
read on.

Pleasure Eating

Food is wonderful and that is partly why we eat so much. Some foods taste so good that we get a lot of pleasure when we consume them. Although this is not necessarily a problem it becomes one if we are concerned about our weight and health. Eating for the pleasure of it needs to be controlled.

Social Dining

Most of us have been to a restaurant and ordered from the menu even though we have had a meal just before we arrived. Usually this happens at certain celebrations. The reason we do it is because we do not want to be the only one at the table that isn't eating. Someone else might even offer to pay the bill just to get you to eat something. In the end everyone at the table feels ill at ease. However, you need to withstand this type of scenario if your weight and health are important to you.

Stressful Eating

Everyone is guilty of using food to relieve stress. Sometimes I am amazed by just how much joy a little candy can bring! When done in moderation this is not a problem, but if it is done often you start to seriously compromise your health and cause irreparable damage to your body. Eating when you feel stressed is not bad but the key is to ensure that the snacks you eat are healthy and will enhance your performance.

Food is one of life's great treasures. It is meant to be enjoyed and shared. Despite this, it is important that we make our choices about what we eat and when we eat it. No longer can you be driven by pleasure, social comfort or stress relief. Eating is not wrong it is only when we eat for the wrong reason that damage takes place.
