Re: Need help on emotional eating and bingeing

[Guest guest]

Hi (I'm new here)! I have books and handouts at home but all I can think of right now is taking a time out. Assess what is going on in your head. What do you need? What kind of support are you missing right now? Can you get the support from something that's not food related? Really take some time to think about what is going on in your head and body. Good luck! I'll try to post more once I get home and can sound more educated than the above. snowball101375 wrote: Can anyone offer any advice on how not to turn to food when feeling emotional?

I'm new too, thanks for responding to my message. I've been going through ups and downs w/this for a long time. Time out is great actually!

I"m going through a hard time w/relationships w/men, support from family and friends and I just feel terrible about myself. Sooo, I feel like food will make the pain go away but it doesn't. just makes me feel worse.

Looking forward to hearing from you again soon.

It's a hard cycle to break out of, but if you are eating ENOUGH of real food, it's MUCH easier to break that cycle!!!If you are letting yourself be hungry at all, it's an easy hole to fall into.GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!! Need help on emotional eating and bingeing

Can anyone offer any advice on how not to turn to food when feeling

emotional? I'm sick of going through this cycle and don't know how to

pull myself out of it. I am on day 2 of eating CRAP! All I want to do

is cry!

[Guest guest]

So, how did you do?

I try to take a time out when I'm eating more than I

probably should be (due to emotional hunger and not

physical hunger). It's easier for me to do now that I

can tell myself it's just a time out...if I want to

pick up the chips (or whatever) again I can but I need

to take a few minutes and assess what is going on.

It's definitely not easy. I've been doing IE for a month, seen great results,

but still have to deal

with emotional eating. For most people, myself included, emotional eating starts

during

childhood, so it's more than just a habit, it's a coping mechanism. What has

been helping me

out truly is daily meditation (or contemplative prayer might help for some).

Meditation not

only calms me down, but gives me the time and the space to contemplate the

actions that

stem from my low self-esteem, like emotional eating. Sometimes, when I feel the

urge to go

eat, and I know it's emotional, I try to stop and remember what happened right

before I

wanted to go eat, and I try to focus on the emotion, breathe deeply, and just

calm myself

down instead of automatically going down to the kitchen and eating five cookies.

Another important thing is to not feel guilty! Feeling guilty will cause you

only to eat more.

Good luck!!
