Overcoming Emotional Eating to Lose Weight

By Robert | October 31, 2008

Overcoming emotional eating can help you lose weight faster than ever before. Even those stubborn pounds will melt away. It’s all about re-training yourself and your relationship with food.

Portion Control

Because emotional eating strives on emotion and not logic, you’ll have to incorporate safe guards to control you when your logic can’t. A good way to do this is to divide foods into portions before you get the urge to go on an eating jag.

As soon as you get home from the market, divide any bulk items into separate serving zipper bags. Bulk items include chips, cookies, crackers, etc.

If you have a problem with going back for seconds, thirds, and fourths, buy pre-packaged meals that only contain one serving per meal.

Eating Buddy

Many people who live with emotional eating find that having an eating buddy can be a blessing. Ask someone you trust, like a spouse or roommate, to be there for you when you feel yourself going out of control.

When you find yourself plunging into that tub of ice cream, ask for help. Saying something simple and funny like, “Honey, can you take this ice cream away from me before I put a hole in the bottom,” can lighten your mood and give you a signal to stop eating. Since you started the intervention, you won’t feel defensive or hurt when your buddy takes action.

One of the biggest things you can do for yourself is to find ways to control emotional eating. You just need to admit that you have a problem and find a trusted soul to help you on your journey to wellness. If exercising a little discipline isn’t enough by itself, get on a formal diet plan like this Fatloss4idiots review – the habits you have cultivated will complement the plan for guaranteed results. Either way, take action – your body, health, and waistline will thank you.
