Are You An Emotional Eater?
I am. I am certainly an emotional eater. If I am unhappy, I want to eat. If I am celebrating something, I want to eat. When I am honestly down in the dumps, I eat and I feel like I can make things go away for a while. At least that is, on an emotional level. On the intellectual side of my mind, I know I am not doing myself any favors.
Believe it o not, there is an entire website and program devoted to emotional eating – www.ShrinkYourself.com. You can receive a free interactive session and a personalized eating profile. In a world where 99% of dieters break their diets due to stress, depression, or boredom, this is one solution you don’t want to miss.
In a nutshell, don’t blame motivation when it just might be your emotions that are failing you. Learn how to look at why you eat, instead of what you eat. Once you do, you will be able to see long-term weight loss goals become a reality. I already am able to admit that emotional eating is my issue. Now I just need to dig in and tackle the problem for what it really is.
