Hi again,
You probably feel better after eating 'junk' food as the high fat
content also gives you the energy boost that you need. It sound very
much like a 'feel good' thing. I suppose it depends on what you
describe as healthy food. For example if you eat salad you won't
necessarily feel as 'full' or as energetic as you would after eating
fast/junk food. Also if your eating mostly ready meals (or TV dinners)
these contain alot of additives and have a high salt content which can
increase your blood pressure.
This doesn' mean that you can't or shouldn't eat fast food because if
you feel deprived it creates a psychology that your punishing yourself-
so you will feel much lower and your cravings will increase. so do
continue to eat your favourite things but try and gain control over
what you eat and when.It's about moderation. You will be able to come
up with alternatives and your confidence will soar. I do understand
that this is hard. Maybe I could help if you give me an idea of what
your tastes are, and you what you are like as a person, age etc. Also
sometimes your lifestyle affects your diet stress can be a trigger to
eat more or less it depends on the individual. i hope this has helped a
little. take care x
