Question

Jordan is nervous about an upcoming exam, and she is consuming large quantities of pasta. She is surprised that she is starting to feel a little better. What can you tell her that will explain this?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Eating pasta has become a coping mechanism for Jordan when he is feeling nervous. By creating this habit in his body, he starts thinking that this is the correct way to release the stress out of his body. But he needs to realize that this coping mechanism is hurting him more than it’s helping him. Because he starts to develop the “Binge Eating Disorder”. This disorder tells us that whenever a person is feeling anxious, depressed or nervous, they start “eating their feelings away” and that is not healthy; because it can create a health problem in the long run. Jordan needs to realize that there are better ways to cope these feelings.
