Today's Topic....Emotional Eating


We all emotional eat for different reason's and feelings we have.  I went through a horrific trauma in May of 2013 that forever changed my life....I lost my son, I went through all the typical emotions, blaming, hate, sadness, disgust, wanting to know why, feeling sick, not eating, then over eating for comfort, etc.  It was a roller coaster that some people never find their way off of.  Well it is possible to get off, its a choice, everything about life is a choice.  Reading books didn't help much either...... so I had to decide to take my life back. Or I could just wallow around in sadness forever but that didn't sound like much fun to me and I have 3 other kids that I adore as well as 2 step kids........... So make the choice to make your changes in your life and do it NOW!!!

Biofeedback is great for emotional problems because it is a stress reducing machine. my problem was at first I was so out of it I couldn't even help myself. My problem was I lost my 11 year old son in 2013 and if it were not for this machine....I'm sure I'd be on some sort of antidepressant... It works with the body to peel layers of stress we hold on to..

Enter “emotional eating”.

Simply put, emotional eating can be absolutely catastrophic to any diet plan.

“And things were going SO well….”

Yes, I know the feeling.

Time to put an end to that nonsense once and for all.

When talking about emotional eating, it’s most common to find “stress” right there at the root of the problem.  We get stressed, we eat Ben & Jerry’s. It’s human nature.

BUT, it sure isn’t helping us along the path to a better, healthier body. And this is exactly where people go wrong.

Let’s face the facts, we ALL do and will continue to deal with stress on a regular basis. It’s a part of life that isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. But it’s how we deal with the stress that can either lead to a fitter, healthier lifestyle, or a fatter, unhappy, unhealthy one.

You see, when dealing with stress, we’ll ultimately either choose a “negative” or a “positive” way to cope with that stress.

And here’s the most important thing to realize in this whole discussion: If you do not ACTIVELY look for, plan for, and choose positive ways to cope with stress, you WILL resultantly, almost naturally, choose negative coping mechanisms (such as stuffing your face with 87 chocolate chip cookies, which by the way I have NEVER done…I cut it off around 63 because I have a little something called discipline.  Geez).

But, the good news is that there is a ton of “positive” ways to cope with stress. Here are a few that I really enjoy, and much prefer over accumulating body fat and being even more depressed:

1. Going for a jog, long walk, or drive

I love all three of these activities because it gives me the opportunity to let me mind just zone out and think. In fact, when I go for a run when I’m stressed I find that I don’t really even realize I’m exercising because my mind is distracting me so much from the fact that I’m really “working”. It’s pretty cool when you’ve gone a mile or two without even realizing it’s been that long/far. At the same time, I’m clearing my mind and getting the “feel good” endorphins pumping throughout my cerebellum—great to relieve stress, even better for my body.

And if for whatever reason I just don’t feel up for exercising, I’ll hop in the car and go for a drive. Nothing like cruisin’ (FGL shout out) and thinking a bit to clear my mind and cope with whatever may be currently going on in my life.

2. Jammin’ out to some KILLER music

I absolutely love music. I go to concerts like it’s nobody’s business and just love how music can evoke so many different types of emotional responses.

And you know what’s even better? Combining music with one of the activities from #1 above.

Boo-yah, stress be gone!

Do you want to seriously end emotional and binge eating habits once and for all?  Then you HAVE to make a conscious effort to find and choose healthy, positive coping mechanisms.

Biofeedback is great for emotional problems because it is a stress reducing machine.  I lost my 11 year old son in 2013 and if it were not for this machine....I'm sure I'd be on some sort of antidepressant... It works with the body to peel layers of stress we hold on to..
