Amazing Break-through Steps to Stop Emotional Eating
1. Get to Know your Body- Something most exercise and generic diet programs won't tell you, everyone's body is different. Only you can know what is right for you. The best way to do this is to SLOW DOWN. Breath when you eat, say a prayer, feel your body before and after you eat. Listen did your body enjoy that meal. Indigestion is not a problem to be fixed with a pill, it is feedback from your body that the food you just ate did not sit well in your body. LISTEN TO YOUR BODY.
2. Go For Health Above All Else-Throw away all your fat-free, diet foods, fake sugar substitutes, laxitives, diet pills, diet cokes, points,low-carbohydrate foods, low calerie foods, and go for Real food. All of these diet products cause far more problems than they are worth. Chemicals, toxins, processed foods contaiminate your body. You want a clean, clear temple so fill it with only the best foods available. High-grade nutrition in raw veggies, fruits, sprouted grains, great water, superfoods, and organics.
3. No Matter what you Look Like, Find Your Most Beautiful Body Part- Women are very hard on their bodies. 9 out of 10 women are unhappy with the way they look. Often time overeating is part of a victim/abuse pattern set up internally, when we do not like the shape of the body. It is time to get over it, every body no matter what shape, is beautiful. No matter what, find something about your body that you love. Honor it now: your hair, your eyes, your neck, your back, honor it daily. Look in the mirror, find one thing you love and tell your body, that you love it!
4. Know that your Body is Sacred-Guess what you only get one body. And without your health you have nothing at all. Remember a time when you are sick and ask how much you loved to be alive. Health is the most important part of life. Feel it, know it, your body is sacred.
5. Emotional Eating is a Cry for Help-Often times when your eating is out of control your life is out of control. It is a symptom of something deeper. Ask youself is there something more you want out of life? Are you happy in your marriage or relationship? Are you exercising and moving your body? Are you longing for a different life? Are you unsatisfied with your carreer. Ask deeper questions, it is not just about how you look that is a superficial question. It is time to explore the deeper whispering your soul is crying out for...what next step in life do you need to take?
6. Set up a healthy schedule for your day-Include exercise, lots of fresh filtered water, high grade organic fruits and veggies, pro-biotics, superfoods, meditation, yoga, walking, long baths. Set up a schedule fill it with fun, exciting ways to be good to your body.
7. Create a Ritual Before you Eat-Slow it down. Light a candle before you eat. Listen to your self talk, are you kind and gentle or angry, upset abusive? Take a moment to hear what you are saying to yourself. Clear your mind. Taste your food as you eat.
