For emotional eaters, sometimes weight loss might be more emotional than we think

When we gain weight sometimes it's because of some thing we're going through, something sad or stressful. Putting on weight becomes a defense mechanism to deal with certain aspects of reality. As we lose weight, we might feel more sad than usual as we start having to now face the realities and triggers that lead us to hold onto the weight. As the weight melts off, the triggers that lead to holding onto such weight might resurface to be processed and healed and dealt with.

Weight loss is always emotional for me and I find myself feeling sad more than usual especially about the things that are the triggers because I no longer react to them by eating and keeping on weight. Not only is the weight melting, but it is also releasing the trauma or sadness that was unconsciously being stored with it.
