The connection between mood, food and weight lossEmotional eating is eating as a way to suppress or soothe negative emotions, such as stress, anger, fear, boredom, sadness and loneliness. Both major life events and the hassles of daily life can trigger negative emotions that lead to emotional eating and disrupt your weight-loss efforts. These triggers may include: * Unemployment * Financial pressure * Health problems * Relationship conflicts * Work stress * Bad weather * FatigueAlthough some people actually eat less in the face of strong emotions, if you’re in emotional distress you may turn to impulsive or binge eating — you may rapidly eat whatever’s convenient, without even enjoying it. In fact, your emotions may become so tied to your eating habits that you automatically reach for a sweet treat whenever you’re angry or stressed without stopping to think about what you’re doing.Food also serves as a distraction. If you’re worried about an upcoming event or stewing over a conflict, for instance, you may focus on eating comfort food instead of dealing with the painful situation.Whatever emotions drive you to overeat, the end result is often the same. The emotions return, and you may also now bear the additional burden of guilt about setting back your weight-loss goal. This can also lead to an unhealthy cycle — your emotions trigger you to overeat, you beat yourself up for getting off your weight-loss track, you feel badly, and you overeat again.

Stop Overeating – How to Get Control of Your Food

admin — Tue, 18 May 2010 13:15:59 +0000

Many people (like you and me) have had the painful experience of being out of control with food. We talk about “inhaling” it and kind of “waking up” after it’s all gone. We didn’t get to enjoy the experience, but we DO get to pay for it. That’s kind of a lose-lose all around, don’t you think?

In this very short audio, which you can listen to in about 13 minutes right now, may help you recognize when this kind of a “Negative Food Trance” is taking hold of you, and help you avoid it entirely, or get back control more quickly.

I think this is a particularly important one to listen to, as there really are a few simple things you can do to regain control, and prevent yourself from losing it in the future.

Because food is life, and we should all be wide awake while we’re eating it, don’t you think?Take just a few minutes out of your day to listen to this right now, I know you’ll be glad you did.

I thought you might like to hear how the Feeding Your Soul(tm)

process works with some real life participants.

So when Chuck Batson asked to interview me for his Raw Foods

list, I agreed provided he let me use the tapes.

It turns out we both learned quite a bit…

I think of Raw Foods as “Craving Killers”… not so much as

a fanatical diet (you know I hate that word). I genuinely

believe that a good percentage of our cravings for sugar

and starch could be better classed as a “green deficiency”

than a food craving.

Glenn and I constantly find the more greens we add to our

diet, the less we crave our “unhealthy” favorites.

Anyway, it was a GREAT interview (but it DOES start a little

bit slowly, please give it 10 minutes to warm up!)

Have a listen now, won’t you?

Oh, and you should also have a look at Chuck’s Raw Food Diet Now (our affiliate link). Chuck did a WONDERFUL job reviewing the research on Raw Foods and presenting some very practical advice on how to incorporate it into your lifestyle. Your body will thank you!
