Why The Weight And Emotional
Stuggle?

You probably know these feelings all too well. Being frustrated with
trying to lose weight but not getting results. It seems like you do
everything right to control your diet but then wham a food craving hits
you!
No one seems to understand what you're going through.
You constantly deal with the criticism that you are just being lazy and
need to eat better and exercise, but you tried all these things before. You
eat because you're unhappy, but you can't seem to stop. It's the feeling of
being on a giant emotional roller coaster, and you just want to let out a
scream.
Why will this weight, and emotional struggle not just leave you alone?
Well, when you develop a routine of eating foods that you know are bad
for you. Then try to go cold turkey, these new foods don't hold the same
taste, or appeal as the one's you enjoyed so much in the past.
This is the exact perpetual cycle an emotional eater goes through when
they try to withdraw from foods that seem to have a tight grip on them.
This is why you experience that extreme inner turmoil trying to stay on
one of those low-calorie diets.
It's important to note, we are not saying binge eating is caused by eating
"foods that are bad for you." Instead as we will discuss throughout this
report. There are certain emotional responses that trigger your eating and
craving cycle. These responses make you look at some foods in a
different light.
First let's discuss who exactly is a binge eater?

Definition of Binge Eating
In this type of disorder, the affected person eats out of compulsion
losing their control. Large quantities of various types of food are consumed,
during the binge.
The indications of binge eating disorder appear during late teenage and
early middle age. Usually, the attacks of binge eating occur after major
meals.
Normally, a binge eater may take around two hours when starting their
next meal. However, this varies from person to person, and some people
may go on eating for the entire day. These people eat even if they are not
hungry, even if they have already filled their tummies with a
considerable amount of food. They do not actually feel taste or hunger
for eating.
Here are some main characteristics of binge eating disorder:
Recurrent fits of overeating.
Extreme disturbance after these fits of overeating.
Contrary to bulimia, there are no instant solutions to binge
eating through vomiting or fasting, etc.

A binge eater is a person who eats excessively when they feel tense or
bad about something. However, their habit does not bring them relief,
instead it makes them feel worse. This disorder affects both genders and is
wider spread then bulimia and anorexia.
Copyrights

The binge eater goes through feelings of hatred, despair and guilt
regarding their eating habits. Sometimes they even beat themselves for
losing self-control during these fits of overeating. It means they want to
shun this habit. However, they lack will power to do so.

Nasty
Cycle

of

Binge

Eating

Binge eating may give relief to its victims for a very short period, but
then suddenly the victim feels that he is back to the real world with
the unhappy feelings and hatred for himself. It is sure to lead to fatness
and excessive weight resulting into obsessive eating. The situation
becomes paradoxical; the more overeating troubles a binge, the more he
eats making the situation even worse for him. He eats to get rid of
tension and eating more increases his tension.

Indication And Symptoms Of
Binge Eating Disorder

A person who is suffering from this disorder mostly feels guilty about their
overeating. They often eat when they are alone so that other people do not
learn about it. Therefore, most of the binge eaters are overweight. However, in
some rare cases they do not gain weight.

Emotional Triggers That Lead To
Overeating

Boredom
The obvious reason for overeating is boredom. When someone has
nothing to do, he tends to eat excessively. For example, when a person
comes home what is the first thing they do? They watch TV. Without realizing
it this person exposes themselves to hundreds of commercials displaying food
pleasing to the eye. This is why you eat that bag of nacho cheese flavored
chips or that pack of double stuffed fudge chocolate-chip cookies while

you"re watching your favorite episode of CSI.

This repetitive self-defeating
cycle, will cause you to eat more
calories than you need culminating
in a steady increase in your weight.
Being a "bedroom eater" would
put yourself at a higher risk of rapid
weight gain, especially if you do
nothing to burn the extra calories
you're consuming.

Breaking The Habit Of Boredom
Overeating.
Learn to limit your TV viewing habits.
Copyrights

12
Each hour you watch you expose yourself to countless advertisements
for things you crave. Don't give fuel to the fire of your cravings learn
to moderate your TV viewing habits.

Identify why you are feeling bored.

For some dealing with emotional eating, being frightened and scared
about approaching life turns them to food. If this is the case with you.

Ask yourself "Is there something I have been putting off because of my fear
of failure?"

Find enjoyable activities

such as: painting, reading, writing a
journal, playing some computer games or doing volunteer
work in your community.
Whatever wholesome activity you can find that does not involve food
the better.
Manipulate your food cravings by chewing gum. It will satisfy
your desire to have something in your mouth and has very
little calories.
As with finding activities the key is to find ways to keep your mind busy,
the more your thinking about your cravings the stronger they become.
Keep processed foods out of the house. These foods, can be
convenient and inexpensive. However they also highly contribute to
your weight gain and can be addictive.
This one sounds like a no brainer but the more temptation you give
yourself the easy it will be to give in and make excuses.

13
Feeling Deprived
Yep, you guessed it. You feel a sense of loss and
crave those foods again.

This is why "yo-yo dieting" occurs. You know
when a person seems to lose weight in the

By restricting yourself from these comfort foods
you begin to develop feelings of being deprived.

Feeling deprived in turn triggers feelings of
depression. Once this pattern is formed, the person
who is trying to avoid certain types of food
becomes an overeater of the same food they crave;
thus falling into the category of a binge eater.
This depression could be strong enough to make you give up on a diet
altogether, and once you give up on the diet you will feel even worse
than when you started.
Hence its a never ending cycle for some.

You might be wondering "How did I get so hooked on food to begin with?
Was it some genetic flaw gone wrong in my parent's genes?" Probably not.
It is more about over time learning to use food as a quick button to push to
stop feeling so bad and start feeling good.
What happens when you try to take away those foods that seemed to bring
you those comforts?
begining only to gain it all back.

Whats The Key To Breaking The
Sequence?
Binge eaters who feel guilty after an eating session will often wake up
with a new commitment toward diet and a life-changing attitude. The problem
is, dieting does not work. Eating needs to be unique to an individual.
Eliminate negative thoughts.

Know what your body needs.
Effective weight loss or muscle gain begins with feeding your body the
right kind of foods. Even doing exercise will not produce results if
your eating the wrong foods.
Know the type of diet your body can handle.
Many diets require you to cut your calories to extreme levels. This is very
unhealthy and hard on your body. When your body is in starvation mode.
You feel fatigued, sluggish all day long and not to mention hungry. It's almost
impossible to stay motivated on one of these diets.

Ive found that the only guide to describe this process of how to lose weight
accurately is Isabel De Los Rios, eBook The Diet Solution. In it, she explains
how our bodies fall into one of three specific metabolism types.

And how it's not by doing some crazy diet but by eating the specific
foods according to your metabolism type is the key to losing weight.
One of the surest ways to sabotage any weight loss goal is believing you will

fail before you even start. If you've thought before, "What's the use? I'll just
gain it all back anyway," stop right there.

In fact, it was interesting to learn. That one particular metabolism type
will actually gain weight by reducing calories from their diet.

Your

Body

Do you constantly pay attention to the things you feel are wrong with
your body? There is a reason why women find it, especially difficult to
control their eating triggers, which is their inability to accept their body
in spite of harboring several absurd
body ideals.
Realize no one is perfect.

Even those seemingly "perfect
celebrities" have flaws and worry about
grey hairs and wrinkles.

Trying to be like someone else is
a waste of precious time.

A lot of problems today with self-
acceptance is trying to be something or
someone we are not. You must realize your
own special qualities. No two people will ever be a like.

Eliminate negative thinking, focus on things you excel at.
What you focus on grows, so if you dwell on negative thoughts this
will only start the cycle of looking for food as a comfort.

Glucose Intolerance
This has to do with the physiology of the body. A healthy body converts
carbohydrates into glucose keeping the blood-glucose level at ~60-
120mg/dl regardless of the kind of diet you eat. Carbohydrates are
instantly transformed into glucose, and the pancreas gives a response to
this change by secreting more amounts of a hormone called insulin in the
people intolerant of glucose. It is helpful in removing the glucose from
blood; thus, helping it to go into the body cells.
In fact, if this system is working
correctly it helps keep blood
sugar level to the normal range
irrespective of the amount of
carbohydrates eaten. If this
system fails to work, an excessive
amount of insulin is secreted in
response to sudden rise of glucose
in blood. Therefore, the body
remains unable to remove the
glucose from the blood resulting
into an increase in the insulin
level in blood. Consequently, the
hunger increases and the victim
goes for more food rich in
carbohydrates, and the cycle goes on.

Calibrate your diet in relation to the Glycemic index (GI).
The Glycemic index is an often over looked tool for most dieters. They
simply don't know what it is and how to use it properly. In fact, it was
shocking to read in Isabels, ebook The Diet Solution that a common
Copyrights

17
food a person dieting often eats for a snack. Thinking it will help them drop
pounds actually has very high levels of (GI).

Foods with high (GI) levels make you feel hungry and actually contribute to
craving more food. These foods produce weight-gains in our bodies not weight
-loss the opposite of our goal.

Insulin is a fat storing hormone. Avoid foods with high (GI)
levels.
The more insulin you have in your bloodstream, the more likely you are to
gain weight. To achieve sustainable weight loss and reducing your risk for
heart disease and diabetes. The secret is keeping small fluctuations in your
blood and insulin levels. Only by eating foods in relation to your metabolism
type will achieve this.

Needing Love And Affection
Love and affection are a basic human need we all have. If these needs
go unmet a person facing situations of despair and loneliness will
routinely find solace in food, this is a condition that can tend to affect
women more than men.
Consider this scenario: After being exhausted at both the office and then
the home, a woman may develop the need to work out her feelings and
need love and affection more than normal. If this emotional satisfaction
is missing, the gap is commonly filled with overeating.
How then do you satisfy these emotional needs of love and affection
without using food as a coping agent?
Understand that love and affection are normal needs a person
has.
Copyrights

18
Every human being was created with the need for love and affection,
having these needs is normal and should be filled.

Understand women have an inherited need to feel appreciated.
A man must understand the emotional needs of his wife or girlfriend is
different from his own needs. She may at times need to feel more appreciated
than at other times. And she never wants to be taken for granted.
Understand what real affection is.
Problems tend to arise when people dont understand each other, same
can happen in this area. True affection comes from the heart, it is not
being told by another to do some gesture of kindness. This will only
cause aggravation and frustration to the one needing affection.
Overcome loneliness by sharing.
Avoid the superficial small talk conversations with your friends. Instead, be
willing to share your feelings and worries with them. Remember loneliness
can lead to depression, which often leads to seeking comfort through food.

Feeling

Overwhelmed

Meeting deadlines and working in tense situations are the reasons, which
make people feel disappointed and disheartened leading to tension and
anxiety causing further overeating.
Copyrights

19
Some foods, particularly
chocolate, are believed to
have physiological effects
on the body. By affecting
the reactions of serotonin, a
neurotransmitter which can
affect both mood and
appetite. Notice the
interconnection between
mood and appetite, are we
seeing a pattern?
Whether you are under stress from work, school, a relationship, or any
number of other external pressures and forces result is much the same.
Food becomes the main coping mechanism to deal with stress.
How do you then tame the effects of stress without using food to cope?

Understand that you have the final choice.
Realize even if a situation appears like there is nothing you can do. In
every case, you still have the choice of how to feel about it.

Focus on one task at a time, avoid mental frustration.
As we talked about earlier what you focus on grows, so instead of
worrying about many things at once, focus on one task at a time. This
will also help you to accomplish more.
For a few minutes, a day learn to visualize positive things. This will
help you regain your mental focus.
This can be a very powerful technique if used repeatedly.
Copyrights

20
Develop a sense of humor.
Sometimes things will happen that is out of your control, instead of
getting mad and frustrated. Learn to back off your intensity and see the
humor in lifes situations.

Your Eating Habits
Most people do not have healthy eating habits, and they do not know
what food combinations are best for them. It has been observed that
overeating is location and time specific, e.g. when people watch TV, in their
spare time and so on. As we have previously discussed stress too
contributes to our pattern of eating.

Keeping Track Of Your Moods And
Eating Habits

Many people in the writing profession, novelists, advertisers, etc. Keep a
journal near their bed so if they have a dream that contains a nugget of a
good idea they can write it down the moment they wake up before the
dream gets fractured by the waking brain.
If something like this can help these people be successful why not use it
to your advantage? You should keep a diary of your day-to-day life, note
the people and events that have a profound negative effect on you.
Copyrights

21
Furthermore, keep careful watch on your eating habits and how they change
in relation to those people and events.

If you can identify a pattern and are able to predict when you will go
into an emotional spiral it will be easier to counteract the effects. For
strategy like this to be successful, it helps to have friends and family
close by that you can go to visit so that they can help monitor your
consumption during these stressful events.
Think of it as an impromptu intervention, no analysis no judgment just
people you can trust be there for you to get your mind off the things that
bother you and keep your hands and mouth off of food.

Here is a sample journal:
Copyrights

22

By identifying the pattern you have adopted it will help you in changing
your entire eating pattern for the next time. Only by understanding the cause
of the pattern will you be able to break through it. In fact, the more you do this
method. You will start to see that certain types of emotions trigger
different eating patterns.

Thus, the key to conquer binge eating is isolating the cause, e.g. trigger and
using the alternative coping techniques we have discussed throughout this
book.
