3 Quick Tips To Stop Emotional Eating
By: Kathryn ONeill
It's been called the number one sabatoger of weight loss plans everywhere, whether low carb or low fat, diet or natural weight loss. It's the dreaded E. E.
Emotional Eating.
If you've ever binged on brownies out of boredom, shoveled French fries out of frustration, inhaled apple pie out of anger, you know the damage emotional eating can do to even the best weight loss efforts.
In fact, it's been estimated that 75% of overeating is caused by emotions. (Translation: BIG problem for weight loss)
Although Emotional Eating is a serious problem and often has deep roots, it can be overcome. You don't have live your life as a slave to emotional eating.
With that in mind, I've listed the 3 quick tips to help you stop emotional eating (and start losing weight!) .
#1 Be Happy!
I know, it sounds simple but it works! How tempted are you to eat emotionally when you are happy, challenged, living and enjoying life to the fullest? When you're excited about life, you don't NEED food for that quick pick-me-up!
Take some time every day to reflect on what gives you joy in your life. Are you moving in that direction?
Find things to be happy about. Be thankful for special people in your life. Do something outrageously fun--whatever it takes! Happiness will ward off the worst case of emotional eating blues!
#2 Have a Nurture List
Make a list of all the ways you can nurture yourself BESIDES eating. It might be taking a bubble bath or going shopping at your favorite boutique. Anything that you really enjoy.
I call this my "backup list". All the things I can do BESIDES eating that involve MAJOR self-care. If money is tight, make a list of FREE things you can do instead of eating. Put it up where you can see it. It's amazing what happens when you give yourself options!
#3 Practice Prevention
Stop emotional eating before it starts! How many times do we start to feel a little blue or bored, and then continue on without addressing it? Before we know it, we're in a full-scale emotional storm and it's REALLY hard to fight off that call of the brownies or the potato chips.
Be vigilant. If something bothers you, address it right away (even if it's only within your head!) and deal with it. You CAN prevent a lot of emotional eating temptations if you practice prevention this way!
By practicing these quick tips, you'll save yourself from a lot of unwanted calories and emotional eating frustration. Try them and enjoy the results of a smaller waistline!

How to Benefit from the Mind-Body Connection
(excerpt)
You are about to gain insight into the
mind-body connection. The number of
people who truly understand these principles on our
planet are relatively few.
There is an undeniable connection between our minds and
bodies, you can learn to use this fact to your benefit.
Dr. Bernie Siegel, author of "Love, Medicine and
Miracles" was once a distraught cancer surgeon until he
began to understand the greater principles of the mind-
body connection. He felt dragged down by the artificial
barriers that existed between patient and doctor, and the
helplessness he often felt as a result of his inability
to effectively serve those patients. Eventually, those
barriers were disintegrated by Dr. Siegel's recognition
and growing understanding of the mind-body connection and
how it could serve his patients and himself.
Dr. Siegel, or Bernie as he began to have his patients
refer to him, had some
startling realizations as a cancer surgeon. He found that
there were actually
quite a few people in the world that successfully beat
the statistics on cancer
survival. He began to recognize that a patient's ability
to defeat something as
serious as cancer had to do with the patient's mind and
attitude about their
disease.
