Three Key Components that Trigger an Appetite

1. All People get urges to eat because food in the mouth provides temporary relaxation and pleasure. It all began when you were an infant. Every time that you got cranky, your mother would put a bottle into your mouth. When she did that, you got distracted, relaxed, drank your milk, felt full and satisfied, and then fell asleep. This was repeated many times throughout the day and night. So, your unconscious was programmed to get relaxation and pleasure from something in your mouth.

2. All People get cravings because of unconscious associations between food and activities (like watching TV) or parts of your environment. This is called a conditioned response. If you eat while you watch TV, your mind associates the image of the TV with the picture of food in your hand coming towards your mouth. So every time that you sit down to watch TV, your unconscious fills in the missing part of the picture. It "Flashes" an image of the food in your hand (at the unconscious level of mind), and you get a craving for food (same thing for cigarettes), and a compulsion to eat.

3. Many people experience compulsions to eat because of emotional reasons. Being overweight can provide all kinds of emotional protection. In the classic textbook case, a person gets their heart broken (ouch!). Since a broken heart is so painful, the unconscious might decide to avoid ever experiencing that again. So it motivates the individual into behaviors that will guarantee no more broken hearts.

In this example, the unconscious motivates the person to get fat in the belief that being fat will keep them out of a relationship and therefore avoid future heartbreak. This is only one example of being motivated to stay fat. There are as many scenarios as there are overweight people. 99% of the emotional eaters on this planet do not recognize this aspect of themselves. And even if their therapist explains it to them, they will fail to see the connection and deny that they are receiving secondary gains from remaining overweight.
