Work Stress Can Contribute to Eating Disorders
Although employers may be unaware, approximately 20% of all employees are experiencing a mental illness at any time. As we all know, work can be one of the most stressful daily activities. No matter what your work environment is like, whether it is hitting sales targets, being nice to even the most demanding customers, or meeting impending deadlines, it is a challenging place to be, so it is no wonder that many people suffer from eating disorders as a result of stress at work.
Common Workplace Triggers
- A lack of time to take a break or a proper lunch break
- Providing specific meals in the workplace rather than a wide range of options
- Vending machines that sell snacks, candy, and chocolates, which can exacerbate the guilt/stress cycle
- Unhelpful workplace cultures that allow workers to hide their eating disorders, such as working through lunch instead of taking a break
