Emotional eaters -- people who eat when they are lonely or blue -- tend to lose the least amount of weight and have the hardest time keeping it off, U.S. researchers said on Thursday.

They said the study may explain why so many people who lose weight gain it all back.

"We found that the more people report eating in response to thoughts and feelings, the less weight they lost," Heather Niemeier, an obesity researcher at The Miriam Hospital and The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, said in a statement.

"Amongst successful weight losers, those who report emotional eating are more likely to regain," said Niemeier, whose study appears in the journal Obesity.

I am an emotional eater, but then again, who isn't?

Food is one of our most basic needs, and eating is one of the greatest pleasures known to man.

How can it be not emotional?

Losing weight and not losing weight is all about self-discipline.

And I have none, so I don't care.

Some people eat more if they are mad. How can that be?

i heard nga ang mga october-born kuno ang naa sa frontline aning emotional eaters, especially women.  kaon ang pahimungtan.  tingali version ni sa mga lalaki nga inom ang pahimungtan. 

i remember a fellow trainee sa una; she was already on the plump side, yet i never saw her without something in her hand that's edible, and she chewed incessantly.  when i dared to ask her why, her answer was straightforward.  i hate my husband, she said, so i'll punish him by getting fat.  uh-huh.  (i had no heart to tell her that she was punishing herself.)  well, different strokes for different folks... i cannot fall victim to this kind of malady because when i'm miserable i hate the sight of food.

Looks to me like she's rewarding herself. Instant gratification. If she can't look forward to gratification from her husband, she might as well provide it herself...
