I put this article in the category ” Tricks to lose weight ” but in reality it is absolutely the opposite: I am not saying that if people suffering from nervous hunger eliminated the urge to binge they would not lose weight, but an article I read today by Isabel Foxen Duke, expert in emotional and nervous hunger problems, she pushed me to reconsider it from another point of view, which often triggers nervous hunger or at least makes it worse. The ideal weight. The idea of ​​a healthy weight. 
Let’s put it this way: nervous hunger does not depend only on episodes of calorie restriction or diets, but many problems of eating behavior arise from the idea of ​​a healthy weight and from a bad representation of our body image. Not all, of course. We can also suffer from nervous hunger from other kinds of frustrations, but the frustration of weight, and a consequent control over food, are the two triggers of a bad relationship with ourselves and with what we eat. 

THE EMOTIONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH FOOD: after binges, we often get a sense of shame, and the feeling of ruining everything, and gaining weight as a result. We feel out of control. This is because perhaps, erroneously, we think that “normal” people know how to control themselves , when the truth is that a natural and spontaneous relationship with food is not controlled, precisely because it is spontaneous. A person who has a normal and natural relationship with food sometimes eats less and sometimes more, without worrying about it. He eats when he’s hungry. Sometimes he gets fat, sometimes he loses weight (maybe seasonally). Since we all have an emotional relationship with food,people who eat normally simply attach normal feelings of pleasure and satisfaction of the sense of hunger to food . They may be hungry, eat out of desire, eat more or less out of distraction, but they do NOT worry that they are not eating just to feed themselves and that they are not eating “as they should”. People who suffer from nervous hunger, on the other hand, add other emotions to food , which arise as an effect of calorie restriction, food restriction, or diets, and above all arise as the effect of an idea of ​​their ideal weight that sends them into panic. . The more they try to contain themselves, the less they succeed, the more the idea of ​​not matching the fit person they want to beparadoxically it removes them from spontaneous and natural behavior. 
How to do? It is good to consider two fundamental things. If we understand them, and act accordingly, with a little good will we will be able to get on the right path to limit our problems with food.
