Stop Emotional Eating Solutions

Life is going great, and then one day, it seems like no matter what, nothing is going right. What do you do? Head straight to the fridge and gorge yourself to feel better. Next day, you step on the scale and you have gained weight. You feel like crap and wish you wouldn't have eaten all that food yesterday so you think, what the heck, you have already gained weight and feeling even worse, you head straight to the pantry and stuff yourself with everything in sight.

Is this you? What should you do when you realize what you have done? What is the next step?

Once your state of mind settles back to normal you can move forward. Stop the gorging, think for a minute, shut your eyes and take a few deep breaths.

1. If you are on a diet, move forward from where you left off before the incident that put you into that frenzy. No need to start over on your diet, because if you keep restarting, you might not succeed in actually finishing the diet. Think about that situation. Is it a pattern?
2. If you aren't on a diet, or don't need to diet, think about the situation and your past. Is this a pattern for you?

If you answered yes to it being a pattern in either of these questions, it might be an emotional eating problem rather than an occasional downfall.

If it is an emotional eating problem, most people need a support group to help them get through it.

• Rather it be anorexia, bulimia or compulsive eating, it is suggested that you call the national hotline for referral: 800-931-2237 and depending on the severity of the emotional eating problem, they will get you to the right professional.
• In any case, see your doctor. They can refer you to a specialist, if need be.
• Another solution is one that many people can use for their off days. It is a modern technology program that works to help change your current feeling of anger, anxiety, or frustration into a more peaceful and positive state of mind. It teaches you to increase your coherence baseline and your ability to take charge of your emotional reactions, thus increasing your health, and improving your communication, relationships, and quality of life.

A behavior modification program, rather it be from a professional or from technology device, or both, is great for anyone whose weight gain stem from emotional reactions, stress, anxiety, or depression and also is great for keeping focused on exercising. The biggest plus is that it changes lives, not by medicine, but by behavior modification.
