Hi this is for you if you are sick of emotional eating.
As a child we ate treats at Christmas, birthdays, weddings and any special occasions. We quickly learned we eat to celebrate, and food makes us feel good.
We may have even enjoyed the food after a funeral, which could have caused some confusion with eating.
Most of us were forced to eat vegetables as children. Sitting at the kitchen table starring at the peas and beans long after they had gone cold.
As time goes by we connect food to other situations such as boredom, stress, anxiety, fear, frustration, disappointment, shame etc. Because we have already connected food to emotion, it isn’t long before negative emotions and eating are linked together.
You may have seen family members eat when stressed, it may have happened in your home when you were growing up.
You have certainly seen it countless times in movies and on television. It’s often portrayed in a comedic way, but there is usually a sadness attached to this eating.
In our lives we experience a variety of such emotions on a regular basis, and before long we are using food as an emotional management tool.
I’m sure you know what I mean, maybe you can remember a time when it started, or perhaps it’s something that just started to creep in over time.
If only food could solve our problems without any down side. But it just makes us sick and fat and our problems only get worse.
If you want to lose weight and be happier you need to break the cycle of stress eating.
There are a few proven steps.
- You need to learn a little about your health and what you are doing to yourself with the food you are eating.
- You must identify the beliefs which are keeping you locked in this vicious food, stress cycle.
- You need to let go of those beliefs.
- You need to create new positive beliefs, which will support you into a healthy future.
- You need to release any resistance to change from your unconscious mind.
- Lastly you keep re-enforcing your new beliefs and letting go of any new problems as they arise, by embracing useful strategies to control stress.
The good news is that you don’t have to do all these things alone, there is help available. A specialist in hypnosis and stress eating can quickly help you implement all of these strategies, and allow you to eat well and be happy without gaining weight.
