This is a brief definition of an emotional eater. An emotional eater turns to food for comfort, stress relief, or as a reward rather than eating out of hunger. This behavior is typically triggered by emotions rather than physical hunger. It's a way some people try to fill an emotional void or soothe themselves when they're feeling overwhelmed or upset. Emotional eating can be a coping mechanism to deal with negative emotions such as sadness, loneliness, boredom, anxiety, or stress. Emotional eating can lead to unhealthy eating habits and weight gain if not appropriately addressed.
