How to Cure Emotional Eating
Wednesday, August 26th, 2009By Jon Benson
“Worries go down better with soup.”
- Jewish Proverb
Are you an emotional eater?
Emotions can be deadly. At least when it comes to eating.
And the VAST majority of us are “emotional eaters.” And that leads to excess bodyfat.
We eat when we are stressed-out.
We eat when we are overly happy.
We eat when we are depressed.
And when you eat like this you can kiss your fatloss goodbye.
There’s a 4-minute video that I want you to watch today. It is touching, funny, and very powerful all at the same time.
And it will help you come to terms with emotional eating. Click the link below to check it out:

[Editor’s Comments: I don’t know about you, but I’ve definitely been guilty of emotional eating. I sometimes eat when I’m sad, happy, stressed…or even just a little anxious.
My kids eat when they’re tired and want to stay awake…and I’ve done that too.
Here are a few strategies that I’ve used to overcome emotional eating…I hope you find them useful:
Find an alternative activity. It could be anything really. Go for a walk, listen to some music, clean the house, or even play a video game. Just find a little distraction to take your mind off food. I like to go out in the backyard and play basketball.
Exercise regularly. The benefits of daily exercise are numerous, including reducing stress and improving your mental outlook.
Get more sleep at night…or at least take a nap. Sleep deprivation can decrease leptin levels, a hormone that regulates how “full” you feel, and increase hunger.
Grab something healthy. If you just really need to eat something, grab a healthy snack instead of reaching for the comfort food. Be sure to have something rich in fiber and/or healthy fats. A great choice would be an apple with a handful of almonds.]

6 Thought Changing Steps to Feeling Better
Friday, June 5th, 2009By Tami Close
Apply New Conditioner and Change Your Thoughts
Our thoughts are so powerful and we have conditioned ourselves into a habit, a way of thinking, that serves us or it doesn’t. When we’re in our natural state of being, we feel alive, abundant, joyous, and happy. When we’re in our unnatural state of being, we’re worried, angry, and frustrated.
Which state feels better?
When you think about it, we have about sixteen waking hours of thoughts that contribute to our well being. Last year, I was teaching a class and asked the participants how many hours they were thinking from their natural state.
Their answers really surprised me.
Three hours was the average amount of time those participants were thinking positively, which left thirteen hours of dominant thoughts focused on negativity. This awareness not only surprised me, but surprised the participants as well, and thus, they wanted help to change their way of thinking.
No matter what our childhood conditions were, no matter where we are currently, there is nothing more important than to raise our vibration and contribute to our own wellbeing. It’s the health care of choice.
Having said this, it is a moment-to-moment choice to focus on positive vibration of thought, and there are a myriad of things to use to help shift one’s vibration. Here’s just a few:
-
Laugh!
-
Sing a song.
-
Think of a pleasant memory.
-
Use affirmations.
-
Imagine your life as you want it to be.
-
Use EFT (emotional freedom techniques).
The goal is to sustain a high vibration of thought and live in your natural state of being. As you keep practicing this, you will begin to notice things in your environment changing for the better.

[Editor’s Comments: I’ve been experimenting with different ways to change my thought patterns during times of stress, when I’m having negative thoughts, or when I feel angry or upset. The things that have worked best so far include:
-
Watching funny videos on YouTube…like the Laughing Baby video I posted in an earlier article.
-
Singing and dancing with my two youngest children.
-
Using afformations…as opposed to affirmations.
What do you do to help shift your focus to the positive? Leave us a comment and let us know.]
