Men also tend to be emotional eaters—they just don’t know it. While women frequently overeat when they are feeling down, men are most vulnerable to overeating when they experience the positive emotions of happiness and joy. Whether they’re at a party, ball game, sports bar,
or family picnic, men usually find themselves eating, drinking, and enjoying the food when they’re having fun. A study sponsored by Weight Watchers found that 44 percent of overweight men said that they overeat when they’re having a good time, not when they are stressed, depressed, or tense. Maintaining awareness of the amount and type of food they’re eating during the fun times can be a real asset in most men’s weight-loss efforts.
