Why does one want to eat all the time in winter? Perhaps this is how the body reacts to cold and tries to make reserves. But hunger occurs not only in the cold, but at home, in the office, at a party – that is, everywhere! Wday.ru found out the reason and found solutions.
It is not difficult to notice the problem, you just need to understand how often the refrigerator door is opened and how quickly the contents of the pan is emptied. If this happens more than three times a day, then there is a fact of overeating. If staying in the kitchen takes most of the day, then the zhora period is in full swing. On such days, we are guided by one feeling … hunger!
What the problem looks like: the face becomes rounded, a double chin appears, soft roundness appears in the abdomen and waist, which makes the clothes small. With prolonged overeating, the thighs begin to adorn the characteristic pinkish-purple stripes (striae), which indicate a violation in the endocrine system. Also, the body can react with a violation of menstruation, mastopathy and, of course, a mental disorder.
Why does the body constantly want to eat?
It’s all about laziness and low physical activity. Once started, it’s hard to stop. By consuming a large amount of food, we stretch the walls of the stomach, which begins to contain more and more. If at the same time lead a sedentary lifestyle, energy (and nutrition is nothing more than a source of energy) is not consumed, the body begins to make reserves. The soul becomes anxious, tearfulness increases. And then there is:
bulimia (increased appetite, increased food intake) is a typical psychosomatic illness, the cause of which lies in the dysfunction of the brain centers that regulate hunger and satiety.
For many women, obesity is an unconscious desire to demonstrate to the spouse their “homeliness”, loyalty, devotion to him, as well as to home and children, psychoanalysts say.
Most of the causes of failure are due to emotional stress, , anxiety, sometimes fear. According to the concepts of Freud and other psychoanalysts, bulimia is a kind of psychological defense reaction (with depression, many neuroses, crisis life situations). A person seeks comfort in pleasures and finds them in food (usually fatty, sweet). This to some extent drowns out anxiety, internal discomfort, melancholy.
Fighting excess appetite is a rather lengthy exercise, consisting of diet and exercise.
Paradoxically, many women for the time being it seems that they eat very little. In this case, the body becomes fat, and there are disorders in the endocrine system. The endocrinologist begins to look for the reasons in the dysfunction of the thyroid gland and even the pituitary gland. Recommends hormonal treatment, which, at best, does not give any positive results.
What’s really going on: stress, which once started, is deeply hidden and conducts its destructive work. And to be convinced of this, or, conversely, to refute suspicions, you need to contact a psychotherapist.
