* Do you eat before work or school?

* Do you eat after an argument with a friend or relative?

* Do you find yourself bingeing when you are afraid?

* Do you worry about things you can not control?

* Are you depressed with any area of your life?

* Do social situations bother you?

We can and will talk about different questions that you may relate to in a bit. But, for those who answered yes to any of these, it is possible that you have an emotional eating disorder. This can be a quite common thing for people who are constantly worrying or under pressure and stress in any part of their life. In order to correct this eating problem, there are several things you will need to do.

First of all, you will need to know why you are doing this. Dig deep and really pull out what it is. A fear of failure, a stressful life experience, or just plain old stress can trigger this type of disorder. It is up to you to find out just how this is happening. Once you know what it is, you can begin solving problem in order to stop eating and take back your health. If you do not get to root of problem, but try to diet and exercise, you will continuously find yourself falling back to your old ways. You have to take this step first.

Once you have determined just what problem is, then you can work for solution. Honestly, you may have to talk to a psychiatrist or at least a doctor. In any case, method is same. Drawing out reason and then solving it is necessary. When you are at this point, you will have to find a solution to your problem. For example, if you are under too much stress, you have to find a way out of some of it. If you are a worrier, you will need to find a way to slow it down, possibly with medication. If you are depressed, have anxiety, or have other issues like this, you will need to talk to your doctor about this as well. Weight loss can not happen until these situations are resolved.

Weight loss that is built on emotional issues like these need to be taken care of. Not only is it unhealthy to live in an overweight condition, but it can be very taxing on your life to live under pressure that is causing you to be like this. It could be as simply as relieving pressures or reducing stress. Weight loss programs that are used after this point will be more effective. Weight loss can happen when you are not fighting against yourself any longer. So, start with step one and find out what it is that is challenging your weight loss.

Last week I worked with a client who had an amazing break through. Her core issue was not forgiving herself for making mistakes in her second marriage, which led to divorce. She has been very hard on herself for seven years because she thought she asked all right questions and should have known better. I did chakra work with her and message was loud and clear…..FORGIVE YOURSELF. (Incidentally, I will explain chakra work in another lesson).

Now, while looking into mirror, take your right hand and form a fist and rub over heart and repeat out loud:

Even though I have had issue of not forgiving myself, I deeply love and accept myself and this issue is healed. Divine Love floods my whole body with light and every cell is filled with love. Say this ten times.

In addition, while mirror is in front you, tell yourself, “You look marvelous, baby!!”

How do you feel? Stupendous! Awesome! Supercalifragilisticexpealidocious! (Okay, I am a fan of Mary Poppins and I love that word).

Practice! Practice! Practice! (Affirmations, Rapid Eye, Emotional Freedom Techniques, gratitude, forgiveness). The more you do it, more it just becomes natural to bring in all positives and surround yourself with them. Your ideal weight is already there. Believe it! Know it! Expect it!

I appreciate you and your efforts and am so grateful that you’re part of my life. I am sending you pink light energy. Hug yourself with this light and be surrounded in love.

Love and hugs,
