Emotional Eating Course: Free Trial

This course actually sounds interesting and might be something good from my visitors to my website to here about. Thank you

We all start diets for our own individual reasons - I'm glad to see a diet program that examines and attempts to explore these reasons. That should lead to a higher success rate, the problem with most diets these days are that they are too generic so this makes a nice change!

I like this!

I for most of us who struggle with weight issues, also struggle with emotional issues that trigger bad eating choices. I'm exploring what this means for me. Not just chosing foods that won't help me, but why exercising is such a chore. I know full well that I feel better when I'm more active. It's a vicious circle some days. Best thing is to be aware of it and keep plugging along.

For me getting a diet partner has been the best thing -- and we do it virtually. An old college pal and myself are working on making healthy choices -- whether its food, activity or otherwise.
Two weeks into it and we're still going strong. You can check out our progress at:

Good luck in your healthy lifestyle endeavors.

People eat junk food nowadays, because they are stressed out at work.

Even if the person's eating healthy, being depressed can still lead to bad health.

People don't just eat because of stress...there are other emotions that cause overeating/emotional eating. My mother's entire family has weight issues stemming from emotional eating. She eats to get away from people, to distance herself, to avoid contact with people. She's afraid of being herself to people because she's afraid they will criticize her much as her mother always did. Food doesn't criticize her at all, so she likes to eat. This book sounds interesting because most diets ignore the emotional aspect of eating...they just say "Hey, change what you eat" instead of "Change WHY you eat", which is really what you need to change. I used to be a "boredom" eater and I'd eat whenever I was bored and even felt slightly hungry. Now, when I'm bored I find other things to do to keep me busy instead of eating.

This may help some of my blog visitors! Thanks for sharing...

I agree with Dr Gould that will power is not enough but disagree that one must break the connection between food and comfort. Emotional eating is as much a matter of habit as non-emotional eating.

Spectra, I think that why you eat isn't as important as how often and how much. But keeping busy between meals and snacks is a great help while one is learning when and how much to eat.

Coach, I agree that you do have to change what you eat, but a lot of diet books just give you the new food plan and don't offer the emotional aspect. It's pretty easy to just follow a plan for a month and lose weight, but incorporating healthy eating into a lifestyle is a lot harder, especially for people who do eat based on emotions and feelings.

Spectra, when it comes to permanent weight loss, one does not have to change what one eats, only how often and how much. I truly want to help people realize this. If you program yourself when to be hungry and how much you eat, you will have changed your 'lifestyle'. Your emotions will no longer have power over what you weigh. If you will follow the link to my site, you will see what I mean.

A marketing expert once told me, "The biggest problem you will have with this system is that it's simple. People think it can't work because it's too simple." He's right. One does not have to climb K2 or swim the Pacific at its widest point or re-dig the Grand Canyon with a coffee spoon. It's just one foot in front of the other for 21 days.

What you eat is up to you. I don't tell people what to eat; they teach themselves how to eat in 21 days.

I don't understand why I allow myself to continue to gain weight. I've gone from a youthful good looking, sexy woman to being 50 lbs over weight. I see the disappointment in my family and friends, they look away when they see what I've done to myself. Every other aspect of my life is good -- its just when it comes to ME I stop trying, I feel tired, uninspired and almost afraid to change. Why would I do this to myself, do others feel the same way?
