Do you ever feel totally overwhelmed with everything you feel you want and need to do? This is a challenge many of us face in todays busy western lifestyle. Many of use are attempting to manage multiple responsibilitites – business/career, children, relationships, home, family, and community commitments. This is especially challenges for thos of use who are high achievers and often leaves you feeling that you should be able to be all things to all people, sadly never feeling like you’re managing anything effectively. Does like someone you know? Usually we start to feel overwhelmed when all our tasks and responsibilities end up combining to be one big overwhelming bundle that seems insurmountable. When we feel overwhelmed by the magnitude of what we have to do it’s easy to become ineffective as we race from one task or meeting to the next. So what’s the answer? Here are some steps that will help you untangle the overwhelm and put you back in the drivers seat Step 1. Make sure you give yourself some quiet time to do this task. Take a packet of ‘post it’ notes and find a wall or whiteboard, you need a surface you can stick the post it notes on. Now write every single task or idea that you have floating around in your head, each on its own individual post it note. You are not to make judgments, just write them down and stick the post –it note on the wall.

Is Emotional Overeating Weighing You Down

Melissa — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 04:37:21 +0000

Are you:

* eating when you aren’t really hungry?

* struggling with stress or “nervous” eating?

* circling the kitchen because you can’t find “the thing” that will satisfy you?

* eating when you are bored, tired, frustrated, or procrastinating doing something else?

* hungry all the time–no matter what or how much you eat?

If so, it’s worth considering whether emotional eating is getting in the way of your healthy eating and weight loss goals. We all eat emotionally. We’re encouraged by friends, family, and the media to associate food with all sorts of warm, comfy, delicious things that are not simply a need for fuel. We’re taught to think of “comfort foods” and to reach for certain foods

Is Night Eating Sabotaging Your Weight Loss?

Melissa — Mon, 31 May 2010 03:30:48 +0000

The after-dinner hours are a prime time for overeating, emotional eating, boredom eating, and eating out of tiredness. Not only do the calories add up, preliminary research may support the theory that our bodies actually put on more weight from calories eaten at night. In a study that will be published in the October issue of Obesity magazine, researchers at Northwestern University studied two groups of mice who were fed identical high-fat diets. Half the mice were

Emotional Eating and Overeating: Does It Sneak Up On You?

Melissa — Sun, 23 May 2010 23:36:42 +0000

Stress eating, boredom eating, comfort eating—even eating as a way of celebrating—these patterns often sneak up on women who are busy caring for their families, their businesses, and their complicated lives. My clients sometimes tell me that it feels like the pounds slipped back on when they got busy and were “looking the other way.” Here are three tips to keep emotional eating at bay: 1. Be proactive with your life. Emotional eating often happens when we feel like we are chasing our life instead of in charge of it. When we feel behind, overwhelmed, tired, or overburdened, our problem-solving abilities are diminished, our will power is reduced, and a quick food fix can be awfully tempting. It doesn’t sound very sexy, but spending twenty minutes at the beginning of your week identifying your schedule and your priorities and making sure that you schedule your own needs and self care can make all the difference. Did you see that sentence about scheduling your own needs and self care? Women who feel in control with food and life don’t skip that part. 2. Be aware. Often, it’s the things that we are trying NOT to think about or avoid that trigger emotional eating. I’m a huge fan of regular journaling. Writing is a great way to stay connected with what’s going on in your head. 3. Acknowledge tiredness. One of the biggest causes of out-of-control eating is exhaustion. We’re trying to do a lot, but ignoring tiredness and doing without sleep doesn’t help. If you want to lose weight, maintain weight loss, or feel in control with food, getting eight hours of sleep a night is one of the most powerful things you can do.

Emotional Eating and Coping With Overwhelm

Melissa — Sun, 16 May 2010 00:05:32 +0000

Overwhelm is something that we can’t always avoid, and it can be a major trigger for emotional eating, overeating, or bingeing. While it’s great to have strategies for staying out of overwhelm, sometimes–no matter how skilled or proactive or positive we are–overwhelm just plain happens. A colleague sent me a gift recently. She sent me a timer. She didn’t have to explain what it was for, because I know her strategy. She’s about getting big things done by making them do-able. That is such an important key. When we are facing something that feels overwhelming, when we are staring up at a mountain, it may feel intimidating to even think about getting started. We can feel so overwhelmed simply thinking about how big the mountain is that we never even begin to climb. Last year I ran a marathon for the first time. Here’s what I know. If I had stood at the starting line thinking about how I was going to be running for the next 26.2 miles I might not have started. I certainly would have panicked. I started the race by moving forward. I took some steps and then I took some more. I looked for the mile marker that told me I had run the first mile. I ran from mile marker to mile marker and I didn’t let myself think much farther ahead then that. Today I had to work through some difficult and rather uninspiring tasks. I’ll be honest. They were overwhelming and I’ve been avoiding them. I’ve been sitting here all day setting my timer for fifteen minutes at a time, taking a break with a more pleasant activity each time it goes off. It’s only noon and my desk is almost clear. I’m amazed at how much I’ve accomplished and I never would have really gotten started if I hadn’t broken it down into small chunks. I know that when you are facing an overwhelming project or decision or whatever your mountain is, those small fifteen minute chunks can seem like nothing. They can seem insubstantial and “not serious.” Don’t give into that thinking. It will sink you before you start. My suggestion for you is to pick something you feel overwhelmed by or that you’ve been avoiding because you don’t know where to begin. And then dig in–anywhere. Just start moving in a small, time-limited way. Work through the first fifteen minutes. Just start. Give yourself permission not to do the whole thing or have the whole course charted out. Taking action feels better than feeling stuck. Dr. Melissa McCreery is a Psychologist, Coach, and Emotional Eating and Overwhelm Eliminator for smart busy women.
