HOW I BEAT EMOTIONAL EATING by Cynthia Edwards

Deanne — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 17:03:46 +0000

Ever found yourself angry or upset or even sad and then in the kitchen, looking for something to soothe your emotions? If so, then you been involved in emotional eating. We’ve all done it.

As a small child, when you cried, your parents gave you a cookie or a piece of candy to quiet you. Here in New Orleans, we celebrate the passing of our loved ones with a repass - food, fun remembrances and drink. It all helped to ease us into a world of taking care of our feelings by taking care of our palate, putting something in our mouths that helped ease the pain and take away the frustration - just for a little while.

At it’s best, emotional eating will pass in a few minutes. At its worst, it can take over your whole life and cause uncontrollable eating for long periods of time. According to nutritional experts, 75% of all overeating is caused by emotions. So if you have suffered from emotional eating, you’re not the only one.

I use to eat to ease the pain of rejection, relieve stress or just to get through a frustrating day or moment. I binged on foods that went straight to my waistline and stressed me out even more. Potato chips (hot and spicy and crunchy), popeyes, hot sausage sandwiches all helped me get through tough times. They also added unwanted pounds to my body. After years of eating to soothe and comfort myself, i decided to change the game to my advantage.

Yes, i still get frustrated and stressed and even pissed off at times. But there’s a difference! I grab carrots for my sweet tooth and for my crunchy craving. I grab oranges and apples too. I peel the orange while working out my anger. Poor defenseless fruit! The apple is cut up and cored, stored in a baggie until i can get my hands on it. Broccoli is another good way to ‘chew’ on stuff that bothers me. Cauliflower is too!

Occasionally, I still want to ‘bite’ somebody. But i choose a baby carrot instead of a nacho chip. Try this method for a few days: when you’re angry, chew on a broccoli or cauliflower floret. If you’re sad, try a banana or a few blueberries or even a pineapple chunk. When you get bored, peel a kiwi or try a starfruit or a mango. Experiment with fruits and veggies that you haven’t tried before. And then, after a couple of weeks practicing this method, get on the scale and see if there’s a difference. Or try on a pair of jeans that were sorta snug, see how they fit. Or go for a long walk and see how your heart holds up. You’ll notice a change.

Remember: just like with information in the computer - JUNK IN = JUNK OUT.

NEW ORLEANS WEIGHT LOSS FITNESS CAMP CIRCUIT

Deanne — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 00:37:08 +0000

Studio 13 Miracle and Healing Center offers exciting and motivational weight loss fitness camp circuits designed for your success.

The unique fitness camps feature spinning, bodyweight exercises using TRX and GRAVITY Systems, weight machines, dumbells, Bosu and body bar. It is designed as a circuit to maximize your time and success. Each fitness camp is a full body workout and incorporates the ever important aerobic activity, as well as your nutrition. One of the most efficient way to workout for weight loss is by doing aerobic and weight bearing exercises in the same session:

a) Aerobic exercise burns fat, melts away your unwanted pounds.

b) Weight bearing and body weight exercises tones and strengthens muscles.

Combining fat burning and body strengthening exercises is the best way to lose weight and tone. Muscles uses more energy (calories) to maintain them than fat, so you want more muscles than fat!

What sets my fitness camp apart is that I use a variety of modalities and exercise equipment, always keeping it fresh and exciting! I want you to “play” on all the different pieces from the Perfect Push Up, GRAVITY, TRX, FITWEEL to name a few. If you feel like you are playing success comes quicker, and it’s more fun.

The support and motivation of the group helps you stay focused on your weight loss. The support of each other especially managing and overcoming poor eating habits is big. Most people say that the hardest part of their weight loss is changing eating habits of french fries, fried foods and cutting back on carbs.

Fitness camp attendee Rosana shared with her team mates her success story of going to Burger King and choosing a Veggie burger….NO FRIES, NO SODA! Rosana said as she was making her choice she heard the encouragements and support of her team mates and it was that much easier to say NO to the fries and drink.
