Eating disorders stem from negative thoughts, skewed perceptions, unhealthy behaviors, and low self esteem. Individuals who have experienced trauma and develop feelings of depression or anxiety are often at risk for developing unhealthy eating habits. Some eating disorders, such as binge eating disorder, involve overeating from consuming large and unhealthy quantities of food. While other eating disorders, such as anorexia, are rooted in a lack of consuming food out of emotional thoughts and fears of weight gain. Understanding the root cause of your emotional eating disorder and learning how to cope with your feelings in healthy ways is the key to overcoming eating issues.
