Emotional Eating to Feed Your Feelings

Emotional eating feeds your feelings. If you eat when you feel bored, upset. down, happy, confused, excited, joyful, uncertain, malaise, bored then you are feeding your feelings.

Can you look at each of those feelings as a different persona? Sound strange?

Yes, there's Mr. Boredom, Ms. upset, Mr. Confusion, Mrs. Joy and they are all looking for someone with whom to have fun. And they find a lot of people.

No wonder that the latest obesity statistics are:
* 58 Million Overweight; 40 Million Obese; 3 Million morbidly Obese
* Eight out of 10 over 25 is overweight
* 78% of American's not meeting basic activity level recommendations
* 25% completely Sedentary
* 76% increase in Type II diabetes in adults 30-40 yrs old since 1990

These feeling are having a hell of a lot of fun and what does the poor emotional eater do? Answer: Get bulged out on carbs.

What good does it do to talk about healthy eating habits, diets, advice to feel good about you, priorities, meditation, yoga, deep breathing, relationship advice... when it's the feeling themselves that are the culprit.

The quandary is that advice is not the answer even to dealing with the feeling of emotion. I can imagine someone saying, "Take a deep breadth when you're angry, or frustrated, or bored." Not that it might not help, but it will help no more than all the other advice.

No, the answer lies with our own beliefs about these emotions. That is, why they should be avoided or not felt, or why they don't help or why we don't deserve them.

The heavier the person is the more incapacitated he/she is to feeling certain emotions or feelings. In fact in many respects we are emotional cripples--crippled usually at some age in our social development. This could have happened at any age and with any emotion.

Psychologists may define this as post traumatic stress disorder depending on how incapacitated one is.

This would generally apply to the severely obese--70 or more pounds overweight. Yet, once identified, it's really no big deal. It's that the subconscious mind has been frozen at a particular age in regard to the ability to feel certain emotions. The task is through education to bring the subconscious mind up to date to agree with the conscious mind and hypnosis is a very effective tool to accomplish this.

Yet, while one may not be physically incapacitated with 70 or more extra pounds, one could be mentally frozen with 15 or 20 pounds that never go away. The task is the same--become boring for Mr. Emotion.

A progressive approach to managing weight involves asking important questions "What is missing? Why are you not getting the results you've been promised from the experts and resources you've consulted?" It is clearly insane to keep using the same recycled advice regarding fad dieting when the results are not permanent. It's more important to gain a grasp on how to handle emotional eating--eating emotional stress than it is to read the scale. Besides focusing on the scale doesn't empower you to be a better more enlightened person, whereas learning how to overcome emotional eating empowers you in all aspects of your life. If you're a sales person, you'll be a better sales person. If you're an assembly line worker, you'll be a better assembly line worker; a mother, a better mother... Overall, you'll build self worth and find that what you really want to eat is far more nutritious and less in quantity than you ever before imagined possible.
