Overeating

I wouldn't describe myself as skinny, but I'm definitely on the slender side by objective standards.

I'm borderline underweight for my height, so I don't really need to worry about my weight.

Still, I feel like I need to keep it in check to stay fit because my hips and inner and outer thighs are a bit flabby, which, I assume, is a common concern for many other girls as well.

However, I have this bad habit of comfort eating.

Although I'm sensible and restrained about the types of food I eat, I'm not mindful of the amount of food I eat.

Whenever I feel even the slightest negative emotion, whether it's boredom, stress, anxiety, or sadness, I find myself binge eating.

I try to avoid snacks high in refined carbs and sugar, such as ice cream, cake, and cookies.

Instead, I opt for healthier options like unsweetened cereals, nuts, or dried fruits.

But snacks are still snacks.

If you snack too much throughout the day, it eventually adds up and leads to weight gain.

Since I'm not as disciplined as I should be with portion control, I often find myself trapped in a vicious cycle of dieting, overeating, losing weight, and gaining it back.

For instance, I might overeat for two weeks and notice some weight gain.

Then, when I step on the scale and see the number, I feel upset and feel like I need to go back to dieting.

So, I'll start eating healthier and in smaller portions for the next two weeks to lose the weight.

But as the next month starts, I fall back into the same overeating habits.

It's a constant cycle I can't seem to break.

On the surface, this doesn’t seem like a concern, as my weight fluctuates every two weeks but ultimately remains the same in the long run.

In reality, however, this habit is undeniably unhealthy—the sheer volume of food I consume on certain days is alarmingly high.
