Shrink Yourself by stopping Emotional Eating
By
I have a course to help you improve your wellness habits called Recipe to Look Better Naked. It is featured article #5, just click on the 5 to see it, but do that later. Right now I want to talk about something I don’t do well and that I recruited someone to hlep me do.
A large percentage of people eat for comfort. They eat for emotional reasons. To have good diet habits, they have to stop eating for emotional reasons. This is a big task and is best accomplished with some help I call coaching. Now, I am a wellness coach and do help others establish new healthy habits but someone else I really respect is much better with emotional eaters than I am. That person is Dr. Roger Gould. Dr. Gould is a psychiatrist from UCLA and is an expert in human behavior change.
I think that if you are an emotional eater you need to take his 12 week course. They offer a free 2 week trail membership and a choice of two different membership options. I won’t bore you with the details here, they will explain them much better than I ever could.
How do you know if you eat emotionally? Well you can take Dr. Gould’s quiz on his site but let me give you a general idea.
Do you become upset and the only thing that will help you calm down is a particular food?
Will you go get “The Food” no matter what time it is?
When you get the food do you eat it fast and ravenously even if you just ate a meal a short time ago?
Do you have to have that special food when you are angry, sad, lonely, or frustrated?
If you said yes to any of the above, then you may be an emotional eater.
Do this, go to my site if you are not reading this there. Once you are there, click on the big orange square
that is talking about “Shrink Yourself”. That is Dr. Gould’s program. When you get there you can take the quiz,
read about emotional eating and decide if the program is for you. Try it for 2 weeks and see how it goes then decide.
I hope you will consider this option to #1. see if you are an emotional eater and #2. do something about it if you are.
OK, now click on the big orange square! Leave me a comment if you do, let me know about your experience on the Shrink Yourself website.
Remember, wellness is just the sum of all your habits. Here is wishing you great wellness through healthy habits.
