Food Cravings: How to Practice Patience

Why is it we save our best behavior for strangers and unleash it on our families? That's been true in my life, and I suspect it is in yours as well. During repparttar upcoming holiday season we have numerous occasions for parties and family dinners which means more trips to repparttar 131377 crowded grocery stores, or repparttar 131378 worst of all: repparttar 131379 mall. These can wreak havoc with your weight loss during this or any busy time of year.

Trying to "plan ahead" so you can avoid some of repparttar 131380 rush is nearly impossible, unless you're smarter than I. Thinking I'd make about three major dishes for Christmas Eve dinner it finally dawned on me that I'm need to start baking a few days early.

Waiting and being patient is not my favorite thing at all. I've always had a difficult time in making a cake a day ahead. (Whenever you catch yourself saying repparttar 131381 word "always" that's a hint something to use EFT on is coming to mind). I want to eat repparttar 131382 cake as soon as it's finished, so if it must wait for a day, it's torture. I also like to make those huge three and four layer cakes so it takes up repparttar 131383 entire refrigerator causing me to see it and nothing else every time I open repparttar 131384 door.

Practicing Patience with Yourself and Others

Patience can be practiced all day every day. It is necessary when dealing with strangers, family, and most of all yourself. Just because you usually give in to your immediate desires for food doesn't mean you must do so. Maybe you are trying to avoid feeling deprived but practicing and learning to exercise some patience may be of good use.

If I bake a lovely cake and see it in repparttar 131385 refrigerator, it beckons to me. Knowing I cannot take a slice without ruining repparttar 131386 presentation doesn't seem to help me avoid repparttar 131387 siren call. I could be sitting, minding my own business, when I suddenly snap my head upright, as if I've heard a ghost, "Come and get a piece of cake," it calls to me. "I'm waiting," it cries. "Stupid cake, I think."

Rather than trying to analyze why I have this strange desire to eat repparttar 131388 cake, I'm just going to tackle it head-on with some EFT. I may also use repparttar 131389 Swish Technique (taught in repparttar 131390 Ending Emotional Eating workshop, Session 4).

If you've had similar struggles, try these suggested EFT phrases, or devise some for your situation. (EFT is easy to learn and use--see OneMoreBite-Weightloss.com for worksheets and instructions specific to weight loss or visit http://www.emofree.com for general information on learning EFT).
