What is overeating? It is an addiction similar to alcoholism, drug addiction, gambling addiction, only much more widespread.
I have always been amazed by the fact that the greats of this world are not immune to shortcomings.
Addiction is a disease that can "attack" anyone, no matter whether the person is rich or poor, whether his name is on everyone's lips or he is someone whose existence even close relatives have forgotten.
And the most interesting thing is that addiction can take hold of a person who is outwardly prosperous. And those around him are surprised, "What is he missing? What does he need to be happy?" Young, handsome, smart, rich, has parents, loves, spoils. Disease makes no difference.
Great ones of this world! How many alcoholics, drug addicts are there among writers, singers, composers? A lot.
Pushkin is a "gambler". Bulgakov is a "drug addict". The list can go on for a very long time, recalling the distant past, the recent past, describing celebrities today.
Many people overeat. Perhaps for some, eating well is the only joy, for others, flour and sweets act as an antidepressant, and others love to taste while cooking so much that they are afraid to stand on the scales afterwards.
What can we say about mere mortals, when history has seen cases that happened to great people that have left generations amazed.
The famous fabulist Ivan Krylov – a famous, talented man – died from overeating.
How can you get rid of this disease, how to fight it
For the Slavs to throw a feast for the whole world in blood! Guests - we set the table. Business meeting - to the restaurant! To meet with a girlfriend, a friend - in a cafe to drink tea or coffee and snack on a "ton" of sweets.
Perhaps it’s worth rethinking your lifestyle and learning to enjoy other things.
What prevents you from meeting more often with like-minded people and riding bicycles, going bowling, billiards, playing football, volleyball, just walking around the city, or even better, through the forest?
Of course, activities are present in our lives, but in comparison with constant snacking, which could be eliminated from our lives without harm to health, and even beneficial, there are very few.
You need to change your attitude to life and enjoy the beauty around you and your own, and not endlessly pat your full belly! There are many interesting things in life and it is better to have time for more!
