emotional eating

If you have an emotional eating problem, you've probably tried everything. You may have tried or diets that have you eat only healthy food, to diets that have you eat less food. Maybe you've even tried pills to boost your metabolism or pills to drop your appetite or any number of other techniques and strategies. And since none of these things provided lasting change, it's hard to believe anything can help.

I understand, I'd be skeptical too if everything I tried to help me didn't work.

The real reason none of these techniques worked for you, is they didn't address the true cause of your emotional eating. In short, they didn't address your emotions.

Eating in response to emotions is a conditioned response. This means that you feel compelled to eat when certain emotions or circumstances arise.

Maybe you feel anxious and eating something sweet makes you feel better. Maybe you're feeling down and a piece of cake gives you a quick pike me up.

If somehow you could break the automatic connection between these situations and food, you could stop overeating... and do so without will power.

Here's one powerful tip.

One thing to do is to find other ways to fill the same emotional needs other than eating. This takes some practice at first, but you can do it.

So if you eat when anxious find other ways to de-stress other than food. If you eat when feeling down, find another way to give yourself a mood boost.

Knowing that you need to find new ways to deal with your emotions is only the first step.

To make sure that you use these new strategies permanently, you'll want to know how to make your new behavior automatic.
