How To Take A Bite Out Of A Binge
You know that feeling that you really really want to eat something, and at the same time you really really wish you didn’t want to eat that something? You wish that eat NOW feeling would go away without you also having the sense that you’re going to have to eat the kitchen before it does. [...]
Emotional Eater Empty Nest Syndrome
I heard somewhere that a benefit of the *terrible teenage years* is that parents are better equipped to handle it when their Not-So-Little-Anymores leave the nest. That without some discord in the relationship, the parents would be beyond bereft. Does your emotional eater (let’s call her Juaneata) give you enough trouble that you’re ok with [...]
The UnFood Log… Because You Are What You Don’t Eat, Too.
Why do we keep track of all of the food that we ate that we feel like we “shouldn’t have” when we know that what we focus on, we get more of? The stuff we write down in those Food Logs holds us back. Makes us feel like we need to be saved from ourselves. [...]
The Bargaining Table
Emotional eating and oftentimes its by-products can be a form of negotiation. “If I eat, then this bad thing won’t happen.” “If I gain weight, then I’ll be safe.” “If I stay this weight, then I’ll get this.” So. What are you bargaining for that you want? And why aren’t you doing more of emotional [...]
Hungry or Not, Eating Is Survival. And A Tip For What You Can Do About That.
Oftentimes we eat even though we’re not hungry because of the feelings – both good and bad – that we anticipate are headed our way as a result. Even when we can sense that we’re not going to like (for the how manyth time) the subsequent cascade of events if we eat when we’re not [...]
The Clothespin Diet
I once did a survey about whether or not people thought they would eat more or less if they couldn’t smell their food. The overwhelming majority responded that they would eat less. “It’s because food tastes so good that I eat so much of it, so not being able to taste my food would be [...]
The #1 Thing That You Need To Fix About You
You’re probably not in the habit of hiring people to do work for you who say to you “I’d love to do that job for you! I feel incompetent at it and the tools that I’m pretty sure I’ll need to do it are broken. Let’s get started!” If your opinion is that you [...]
Get Googobs Of Pennies For Your Thoughts
I’m interested… how long is your list of things that meet the following three criteria? What do you do that you… …do over and over again? …tell yourself over and over again not to do? …do over and over again even once because you think it’s a bad idea for you to do it? And [...]
How To Determine Your Emotional Eating Set Point
You know what to do to lose weight. If you didn’t know what to do, that you’re not doing it wouldn’t bother you nearly as much as it does. What you want is to feel like doing it. Which makes all kind of sense – as is your usual – since the things that we [...]
