Eating out of boredom or unmotivation..? Tell me more.
You have to do another virtual training and you just don’t have it in you to spend two hours in your computer learning something you’ll never use. Or perhaps you are waiting for the kids to end their extracurricular activities and you are half exhausted half bored. Or perhaps you finally have some free time for yourself but it so strange to have time all by yourself.
So the next thing you know you are at the office’s kitchen choosing a few snacks to keep you company as you muster the courage to do the useless training. Or if you were at home, you find yourself munching on a bag of chips you didn’t even know where there. Or you are devouring those chocolate chip cookies that your kids left behind. Or stopping at your favorite restaurant to pick-up some good food to fill the time.
Eating out of boredom and unmotivation do have its drawbacks though…
But as soon as you finish eating whatever food was handy and available, you realize what had happened—once again, you tried to drown your boredom with food.
Another cycle of shame, and guilt, and disappointment starts. You feel embarrassed of what others might think (if they knew). Tired of the way eating as a way to manage your emotions chips away your confidence, your power, your trust in yourself. What started as a way to pass the time ends up being a huge burden.
OK, so I get what is driving my emotional eating. Now what?
Understanding what motivates our desire to eat when not truly hungry is one of the most powerful tools to regain control over our emotional eating.
Here’s a tip that can be helpful—if you can work toward developing the awareness of why is it that you are heading to the kitchen (or stopping by the drive through) when we have tedious work to do or we are bored out of our minds.
A powerful question we can ask ourselves in the moment may be: What void is the one I am trying to fill with food right now?
It is key to ask these questions with compassion, knowing that there is nothing wrong or bad about what you are doing.
Food might have been for us the way in which we are trying to meet a need. Perhaps the need for being engaged and feel alive when feeling disengaged faced with boring situations.
To get a handle on your emotional eating in a long-lasting way we need to shift the way we relate to the feelings that trigger our emotional eating in the first place— does this make sense?
This may involve relying on new emotional regulation skills that allow us to manage feelings of boredom or unmotivation without over-relying on food. More on this topic below.
