With summer approaching, social events, weddings, grad parties, BBQ’s and parties, how to navigate and how to give yourself grace for partaking or that mindset that you are somehow missing out if your do not partake
My problem is emotional eating I fine around in the afternoon I will want sweets . I know I’m not physically hungry but it’s a big urge . I will then not just buy 1 ch bar I will buy many up to 4 and then feel sick to my stomach and feel guilty .
My biggest challenge lately is not being “hooked” by TV and Facebook ads that offer weight loss “tricks”–the pink salt trick, the ice water hack etc. I end up getting sucked into watching very looong videos explaining “new scientific breakthroughs.” My mind knows it’s all BS, but somehow there remains a flicker of hope that there’s an easier, softer way of losing weight.
How do I handle stress without eating when I’m not hungry?
Emotional eating: how to identify the emotions and what to do about them
Hi I am a board certified health and wellness coach and Culinary coach and a Diabetes prevention lifestyle coach. I would love to connect with you , to see if we could collaborate on something.
Having a list of healthy foods or snacks that would be okay to eat any time of the day.
This would be very helpful.
After a long week or difficult day, by the evening meal I’m having too much of something that was quick and easy to prepare. I keep eating and don’t seem to recognize I should be full. And then I get another tastier and bigger snack from the pantry to reward myself for surviving that week. Like chocolate or salty chips. My blood sugars tell me the next morning what my body should have told my mind the night before.
And I repent again and try not repeat that same behavior. But it becomes very difficult not to repeat when I’m overtired or stressed a week or two later. Any tips for just going to bed hungry or not satisfied but full so as not to beat up my body or my esteem?
Yes, your last sentence is my question too. How to love the sensation of hunger!
How can I develop the habit of stopping my eating when I’ve reached the “sweet spot” of feeling satisfied instead of eating a bit more than my body needs?
Yes! I agree
For me it’s eating out of habit/comfort combined with not understanding my own hunger cues. As in, we’re out running errands and my husband suggests a snack or a meal and I feel full and can’t even think of eating. We get home 10 minutes later and I immediately want a little snack, and then another a little later, and then another… it’s ridiculous. And I feel full out and about, and I feel hungry when I get home – so part is getting better at recognizing what is actual hunger, but part is that grazing is just part of the comfort of home for me and I need to change that pattern!
I am very mindful about food DURING THE DAY. But mindfulness and good habits become much harder to maintain once the sun goes down.
I can’t remember to stop, slow down and think before I eat. I’m always rushing off somewhere or preoccupied and just want to put anything in my stomach to “shut it up” so I can keep going.
For me, the most difficult thing is my lack of consistency in listening to my hunger. I often wonder why I so want to make this program work but then I turn around & sabotage myself. And then I have to work on extending grace.
I have learned and come to accept following restrictive, diet culture patterns do not work and can actually create eating patterns that create weight gain.
Here is my question-
“So, how can eating mindfully and intuitively, in a non restrictive pattern, help to enable weight loss?”
Thoughts to ponder:
Living the restrictive, diet culture creates a sense of “Forbidden Foods” causing overeating as we are not able to enjoy the foods we really desire to eat. Thus puts us in the “Eat-Repent- Repeat cycle.
(It would be interesting to know how many people want/need to lose weight, and desire to “Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat”
in hopes of losing weight without restrictions and knowing the outcome would be to “Live Vibrantly!”)
Motivational tips and tricks to stay on point with workouts. How to handle the “boredom” food splurge and choices for less calorie/healthier options to satisfy the boredom splurge. I live by the 21 day habit and it’s helped me immensely- but once I fall from grace it’s hard to climb back up.
