Overcoming The One Craving That’s Really Hurting Your Health (That Stuffed Feeling)

We all overeat sometimes. Sometimes we don’t mind it, and other times we really don’t want to — we know it’s not good for us, we want to stop, but for some reason we can’t rid ourselves of our addiction to that stuffed feeling.

Naive individuals would ask why? Why don’t you just stop overeating, because is the solution not that simple?

It’s Not About Information Deficit. It’s Not About Self-Will.

How we currently discuss overeating addictions is incredibly ineffective, if not flat-out harmful. Public policy makers and healthcare professionals, although with the best intentions, will often treat the issue as an information deficit:

Teach the young about healthy eating habits. Encourage adults to read nutritional labelling.

Other professionals will call out the individuals themselves, criticizing them for poor self-will.

They could help themselves if they wanted to, but they don’t have self discipline.

But is this really the case?
