This book explores in depth the reasons behind why we overeat; & the main reason we overeat is because we feel compelled to multi-task & can never slow down to enjoy, or even properly taste our meals. On top of that the media is constantly sending us mixed messages by either tempting us to overeat, or persuading us that we need to lose weight. It mentions several times how people tend to eat when they are upset. (That had personally never been a problem with me, I tend to lose my appetite when upset or angry.)
The book also offers exercises/tips on how to overcome overeating. Unfortunately in my case it is not that I do not know the reasons why I overeat [boredom], but that I simply cannot motivate myself to do something else when the urge to binge strikes, as the book suggests. If I do, it usually just postpones the urge rather than overcoming it.
