AYURVEDA PERSPECTIVE ON CAN'T STOP EATING ONCE I START

>Food Restrictions Lead to Overeating Deprivation often leads to a lack of control around food. If you feel like you cannot stop eating once you start, observe your daily habits. Are you eating regularly throughout the day? Often times if you think you need to lose weight, it can be tempting to restrict food and skip meals but this only leads to a feeling of uncontrolled eating or bingeing later on. Ayurveda advocates eating your largest meal in the middle of the day when digestive fire is the most strong instead of at night, so a good first step might be to eat your largest meal at lunch time and then eat something lighter at supper time. Balancing kapha and excess hunger through Ayurveda can also help alleviate the discomfort associated with uncontrolled eating.

Checking in with your emotions might also illuminate something important about an insatiable appetite. You might feel an overwhelming impulse to continue eating because you are stressed out, or filled with some kind of emotional discomfort that you may unconsciously be trying to get rid of through food. These emotions are your friends and deserve your attention; learning to tolerate and listen to them may alleviate an inability to control eating habits.

Another strategy is simply distraction. If you are tempted to snack when you are not truly hungry, get out of the house and find something different to occupy your mind with. Try going for a walk or, and spending time with your kids or a loved one. For meals, try sitting down and taking a few deep breathes before eating, and then remove yourself from the situation if you are tempted to keep eating.

Finally, be gentle with yourself. Try to listen from your impulses without judging them; they are trying to communicate something very important to you and deserve your attention and care.
