你在看电视的时候（或者其它思想不集中的时候）.人类是追求舒适感的生物,更是享受按习惯行事的生物.想象一下,当你可以放空大脑,一边放肆地追你最爱的电视剧,一边疯狂地吃薯片,如此舒适惬意,无忧无虑,夫复何求？
Mindless distraction and snacking become ritualistic habits, just like a tub of popcorn becomes a must at the movie theater.
放空大脑、吃零食好像已成为一种固定的搭配,就像看电影就必须吃一桶爆米花一样.
4. You're depressed or anxious. Emotional struggle and stress are inseparable, leaving you feeling desperate and out of control. Destructive eating is an anesthetic to your emotional pain and discomfort.
你沮丧或焦虑的时候.情绪上的困扰总是和压力相伴相生,让你感觉歇斯底里,不受控制.而大吃大喝就像麻醉剂,让你暂时忘却情绪上的痛苦和不适.
The feel-good chemical dopamine is released in the brain and — at least while you're eating — your emotional pain is numbed.
这时,大脑会释放一种名为多巴胺的化学物质,你的情绪痛苦会被暂时麻醉——至少在你吃东西的时候是这样的.
5. You're in a restaurant or planning to go out to eat. This is where your mind begins to "graze:" "Hmm, what am I in the mood for tonight?"
你在餐馆或者正打算去下馆子的时候.这时你的大脑就开始臆想了："哎呀呀,今晚吃点什么好呢？"
This is "mind-tasting." Once you begin to mind-taste, you're already putting in motion the physiological changes associated with actually eating those delicious foods. Mind-tasting is a surefire way to open the door to destructive eating.
这就是"臆想的美味".一旦你开始臆想美味,你就会经历真正品尝美食时才会有的心理变化.所以臆想美味必然导致大吃大喝.
6. You feel your stomach growl. You haven't eaten in a few hours, it's almost lunch time, and your stomach growls. For many people, this sets off a small panic: "I'm starving! I need to eat something right now."
你觉得肚子在叫的时候.好几个小时没吃东西了,又快到午饭饭点了,于是肚子开始叫了.而这会引起许多人的心理小恐慌："饿死我了?匦肼砩铣缘愣鞑判?"
In typical knee-jerk fashion, you're conditioned to jump when your stomach beckons. More often than not, it's your mind, not your body, that needs to be fed.
这是典型的下意识行为：肚子一叫,你就习惯性地坐不住了.但往往真正饿的不是你的肚子,而是你的大脑.
7. You're alone or lonely. Loneliness is a stressful state, which at times is unavoidable. We try to reduce the stress of loneliness by using food to fill the emptiness in our lives.
你独自一人或倍感孤独的时候.孤独能让人感到压力,这是不可避免的.于是我们用食物来填充空虚,以此减轻随孤独而来的压力.
Food, quite literally, "fills" us. And when you're feeling empty and alone, being full can be quite comforting.
