“…physiological hunger. These two eating behaviors are confirmed risk factors of weight gain in the general adult population (Burton et al, 2007;Frayn & Knäuper, 2018), and they have been associated with less fruit/vegetable intake and greater body weight in women at 12-18-months postpartum (Cahill et al, 2010;Jaakkola et al, 2013).…”

“…Emotional eating and external eating refer to eating in response to emotional (e.g., anger and anxiety) and environmental cues (e.g., the smell of the food) instead of physiological hunger. These two eating behaviors are confirmed risk factors of weight gain in the general adult population (Burton et al, 2007; Frayn & Knäuper, 2018), and they have been associated with less fruit/vegetable intake and greater body weight in women at 12–18-months postpartum (Cahill et al, 2010; Jaakkola et al, 2013).…”

Excessive postpartum weight retention conveys risks for future metabolic diseases. Eating behaviors influence postpartum weight retention; however, the modifiable predictors of eating behaviors remain unclear. Using data from a three-arm, randomized controlled trial, the purpose of this study was to examine the longitudinal associations of mental health (e.g., depressive symptoms) and behavior change skills (e.g., self-efficacy) with eating behaviors (i.e., compensatory restraint, routine restraint, emotional eating, and external eating) among women (N = 424) over 18-months postpartum. Results revealed that depressive symptoms, perceived stress, healthy eating self-efficacy, overeating self-efficacy, self-weighing, and problem-solving confidence were associated with one or more of the examined eating behaviors. Furthermore, depressive symptoms moderated the association between healthy eating self-efficacy and routine restraint. Perceived stress moderated the associations between healthy eating/overeating self-efficacy and emotional eating. The findings suggest that mental health and behavior change skills may serve as targets for interventions designed to improve postpartum women’s eating behaviors.

This analysis provides a clarification of the process concept of postpartum weight self-management and its consequences, giving direction for measurement, clinical application, and further research. Future nursing interventions and research should be aimed at helping women to view the postpartum period as a normative transition in which they have the opportunity to take charge of their own health and the health of their family.
