What happens when we overeat
Disclaimer: I am talking about occasionally eating past fullness not BED
look it happens, that pasta was too damn good or hey it was thanksgiving! Step 1, don’t feel bad about it and also don’t punish yourself for it, you didn’t do anything wrong you are human.
Our bodies love to maintain homeostasis, truly. Next time you overeat pay attention to how your body handles those few hundred extra calories. I always notice thanksgiving night, I get really hot (my body raises its temperature to burn more), or the next day I always pr lifts (those carbs make more glycogen for me to use in workouts)
If you restrict, or over excercise in response it will only happen again! Be kind to yourself and get back to your routine, you’ll be okay I promise❤️#bodyneutrality #allfoodsfit #wellness #haes
Overeating is a common experience, especially during special occasions like Thanksgiving. When we indulge, our bodies respond in fascinating ways to maintain homeostasis. For instance, after eating too much, many may feel an increase in body temperature as the body works to burn the extra calories. This is a natural response, and it showcases how our metabolism adapts to the intake of additional food. It's essential to understand that occasional overeating does not carry severe consequences as long as it doesn't become a habitual behavior. Instead of punishing yourself through dietary restrictions or excessive exercise, focus on returning to your normal routines. This approach fosters a healthier mindset towards food. Embracing concepts like body neutrality can empower you to acknowledge that your worth is not tied to your dietary choices. By understanding these mechanisms, you can cultivate a more positive relationship with food and body image.
Ooh thank you, I like that way of thinking! Yesterday I definitely overate (that ramen was AMAZING), and today I had extra energy and went for an extra long walk! It was lovely!
