The knowledge of why and how often do you overeat may help you to follow healthier lifestyle.
1. Boredom (Sofa and Chips Syndrome)
Sometime people overeat just because they have nothing else to do. The movies you watch on TV become much more interesting when you eat chips during watching.
2. Stress and annoyance
No matter what the reason of stress is different people cope with it in different ways. Some gnaw their nails, some smoke a lot, but mostly people cope with stress by overeating.
3. Refusing From Bad Habit
While trying to refuse from a bad habit like smoking or alcohol abuse people often start eating more. Of course, overeating is not as harmful, as those bad habits are, but there are many other ways to distract your mind from a cigarette which won’t harm your health.
4. Cultural and Social Standards
In some cultures it is quite the thing to eat a lot, so second, third or even fourth portion for men is a way of expressing respect to a cook.
5. To Flatter a Woman
A lot of men eat a lot to flatter their women and ask for a second helping not to offend a person who has cooked food.
