Emotional eating is the problem



I’ve struggled with my weight for many years. I have started too many diets to count. I start off full of motivation and determination but then something happens. I either get stressed out, or depressed or angry and I end up turning to food for comfort and sabotaging my diet.

I was interested to read today at www.ShrinkYourself.com that 95% of all dieters end up putting all the weight back on and out of 17,000 dieters, 99% of them break their diets because of depression, anger or boredom.

After trying out the free emotional eating profile, my results showed that “The motivations create an internal conflict, and this conflict is what is keeping you from losing weight permanently. It’s an evenly balanced conflict. Your positive motivations carry you for a while and you eat only when your body is hungry, you lose weight, and you feel good about that. Then something sets you off, and you have to eat to either reward yourself or to control your emotions. When that happens, the negative motivations have taken over. It’s a back and forth with no real resolution.”

So the idea is to learn how to manage the negative motivations in my life, allowing the positive motivations to help me lose the weight and keep it off. The is what www.shrinkyourself.com does. The program teaches you to handle emotional eatingĀ  and focus on your weightloss.

  1. Besides the emotional connnection, there is the physical connection too. I used to be a yo yo dieter and I could not figure out how to break the cycle. Since I found out how to break that cycle, I have quit dieting and the weight comes off by itself. No gimmicks or super new diets for me any more.


  2. I’m definitely an emotional eater! I’ll have to check out that book and hopefully it can help me out too.
