10 Times We Are All Guilty Of Eating Even Though We Aren't Hungry

I think we all know a little bit about stress-eating.

10 Times We Are All Guilty Of Eating Even Though We Aren't Hungry
Caroline Keeter

I was watching "Family Feud" the other day when Steve Harvey told a family to "Name a time you eat when you aren't hungry". As a result, this article was created. I am not necessarily proud of all the times I eat when I'm not hungry but hey, we're all human.

1. In awkward situations.

When situations get awkward, food is always there to fill the silence and can even be a conversation starter.

2. When we're sad or lonely.

There is nothing more classic than a girl eating an entire Ben & Jerry's pint of ice cream after a breakup.

3. When we're angry.

Sometimes I work out when I'm mad...sometimes I eat instead.

4. When we're bored.

This has got to be one of my most frequent mistakes in life.

5. When we're anxious.

Nervous eating is most definitely a real thing. Mac and cheese is called comfort food for a reason.

6. When watching a movie.

Because eating popcorn while watching a movie just seems natural.

7. When people around us are eating.

Prime example: a friend asks you to go to dinner, but you just ate. You agree to go "just sit with them while they eat". Somehow, you find yourself ordering food alongside your friend.

8. When annoyed.

*rolls eyes* *eats food*

9. When we're stressed.

Anyone who has experienced finals season in college knows what stress-eating is all about.

10. When the food is just too good to resist.

Do you think Guy Fieri is actually hungry every time he tries a dish on "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives"? I doubt it.

What is the cure for boredom, loneliness, AND stress? Food. Always food.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
