			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Anyone who suffers from an eating disorder is focusing their attention on food, weight and the eating side of things.  If it is anorexia, the process of starving; bulimia the binging and the vomiting; binge eating, those uncontrollable sessions.<br />
They all appear to revolve around food and eating, but this is a front.  All eating disorders manifest themselves through the subjects relationship with food, but, and this is an important but, the food side of things is a symptom of a deeply unsettling emotional problem.<br />
The relationship with food takes on a life on its own, but in reality this is a silent shout for help.<br />
One of the more difficult aspects of treatment is that a love-hate relationships takes place with food.  In other types of addiction one of the steps that has to be taken is to break away from the substance.  In eating disorders the relationship with food has to reach a balance but never break away from it.  And this makes it a very difficult process.<br />
In the final analysis the treatment has to include the emotional, the physical and the psychological sides of the person.<br />
And the goal, a full remission where all three, not just the food angle, recover their natural balance.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For the most part, diet and exercise are not what holds women back from reaching their &#8220;lose arm flab&#8221; goal. The truth is that diet and exercise are actually the least important aspects of reaching sexy arm stardom!</p>
<p>There is so much free information out there that most women know how to eat and exercise in a relatively healthy way.</p>
<p>But most women do NOT know how to stick to said programs for the long haul. Why? Because their thought processes haven&#8217;t been optimized.</p>
<p>I struggled with up and down motivation for a very long time when trying to lose arm flab. So called self help books and motivational speakers only provided temporary motivation that would always end up fading away.</p>
<p>What was my saving grace? The one and only David Burns M.D. He wrote an excellent book which provided easy to use methods for optimizing thought processes. Central to his method, was the identification of major thought distortions.</p>
<p>And here are 3 of the said distortions that you should eliminate immediately from your internal dialogue if you want everlasting motivation:</p>
<p>1. Pressure phrases. Unfortunately, the &#8220;pain is weakness leaving the body&#8221; culture we live in has perpetuated the existence of pressure phrases. Never tell yourself you &#8220;should, must or oughta&#8221; go workout. Doing so will make you feel pressured and apathetic. Over the long run, these types of phrases will murder your motivation.</p>
<p>2. Labeling statements. If you ever find yourself attaching a label to a hiccup on your part, stop immediately. Labels (i.e., loser, worthless, slob, sloth) create the illusion that there is an internal problem with you that can be fixed. Instead of using labels, describe the situation that led to the hiccup so that you can avoid it in the future.</p>
<p>3. Minimization phrases. These types of phrases can turn men into mice. Why? Because when you minimize you view yourself as being much less capable than you actually are. Never doubt your ability to reach a goal until you have actually tried.</p>
<p>Learning how to lose arm flab isn&#8217;t just about finding the right diet or exercise program. It&#8217;s also about finding the right mental program. And with the above thought distortions in mind, your mental game will be as solid as a rock. Good luck!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Overcoming binge eating can be very difficult without help. It is a more serious problem than people realise and is as a result often overlooked in favour of conditions that are perceived to be more serious. However, binge eating or comfort eating can have a serious affect on your health and lead to serious medical conditions.</p>
<p>Binge eating episodes are associated with a number of different situations, often referred to as triggers. If you eat until you feel so full you are uncomfortable or if you eat large amounts when you are not actually physically hungry. Perhaps you eat faster than you ought to or you eat alone through embarrassment or feel depressed and guilty when you have eaten. If you carry out any of these things then you have a problem and should look to try to reshape your habits to combat it.</p>
<p>Binge eating comes about due to distress with certain situations in ones life. There are all sorts of possible causes but you&#8217;ll likely have a good handle on what your personal ones are. It can then lead to serious physical problems and particularly heart conditions if not treated properly due to significant weight gain and a poor diet.</p>
<p>It is often a serious problem because people get into a vicious cycle whereby they feel depressed and so turn to food to comfort them and then they begin to feel even worse due to what they are doing. Food becomes their drug and an addiction sets in which causes weight gain, again leading to a lowering of confidence and self esteem which continued to affect your mental state of mind.</p>
<p>Everything needs to be taken on step at a time and the final goal needs to be to eat normally and healthily. It is necessary that you look for help from professionals who can help you to understand what the larger problems are associated with the disorder.</p>
<p>Counselling and talking to friends and family is important. Do not be ashamed of what you are going through, it happens to so many people who do not want to talk about it, yet can lead to far serious problems if not discussed. Take each day at a time and surround yourself with support. Gradually you will get better.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An eating disorder treatment center is not all about the deeper, psychological side of issues such as anorexia and bulimia, however. At Sunset Malibu, the caregivers can help you to learn how to eat in a healthy manner once again.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The research is crystal clear here: sugar addictions do exist. In fact, high sugar intakes alter levels of dopamine in the brain just as drugs do. Not a good scenario for your flabby arm goal.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, if you have a high sugar intake your levels of insulin will be chronically elevated. And insulin completely blocks the burning of arm fat.</p>
<p>In the end, you have to overcome any addiction to sugar you may have if you are really serious about getting lean and sexy arms.</p>
<p>So without further ado, here is how to overcome a sugar addiction to get rid of flabby arms:</p>
<p><b>1. Embrace the withdrawal.</b> Simply being aware that there will be a sugar withdrawal puts you way ahead of the game. Many women just go around in circles and do not really understand what is going on.</p>
<p><b>2. Stabilize levels of blood sugar.</b> Once levels of blood sugar plummet, your body will send you on a sugar scavenging hunt. After a certain point, it will be nearly impossible to resist the cravings. So never let yourself go hungry if you want to get rid of those flabby arms.</p>
<p><b>3. Trick your nervous system.</b> Your nervous system can only take in so much information at once. If you overload it with information, your sugar cravings will get blocked out. I recommend activities that require a lot of attention.</p>
<p><b>4. Consume artificial sweeteners only when needed.</b> These are great tools for tricking your taste buds into thinking their getting the real thing. However, you do not want to go overboard here since we still do not know if high intakes of sweeteners over long periods of time are safe.</p>
<p><b>5. Have loose leaf teas.</b> Yerba mate is your best bet here. This tea is so powerful that it can knock out your cravings for an entire day. The only catch here is that you may have some trouble sleeping. Make sure you have the loose leaf version.</p>
<p>Sugar addictions can completely block your efforts for getting rid of flabby arms. If you really want to succeed here, you have to attack your sugar addiction head on. Only then will you get the sexy arms you so desperately want and deserve.</p>
