Overeating is Easy - Change is Hard almost Impossible

Sunday, December 7th, 2008

I’m not going to lie to you. It was very difficult for me
to stop overeating. Let’s be honest here…

It’s really easy to be a couch potato, overeat all day and
watch television, anyone can do it, pshhh I did it so much
I think I deserve an award ;)

It’s such an easy escape. I mean let’s admit it, life can
be hard, really hard. One day life is great, another life
stinks. And food is an easy pleasure button…

What’s an easier way to please yourself than grabbing a tub
of ice cream and eating the whole thing in front of the
television?

So yes it is hard to stop overeating, almost impossible if
you’ve been dealing with it for years. It was for me. I
did it, but I often felt hopeless…

I often felt like I’m trying to climb an impossible hill of
recovery with no end. Even worse I often felt like I’m
constantly sliding back…

The steps to stop overeating are very simple. However
simple isn’t always easy. After recovering from overeating
I realized I had a step by step system that works, while
it’s simple, it isn’t easy…

Let me explain. Her is a BIG tip to stop overeating:

Regularly Get Out of Your Comfort Zone

Wait, huh, what does comfort zone has anything to do with
how to stop overeating? EVERYTHING.

You see growth and improvement in any aspect of your life
requires getting out of your comfy same day in same day out
lifestyle or routine.

If you keep living your life the same way you are now
you’ll keep getting the same results.

In order to make changes in your life, you have to take
different actions. This is simple easy to understand but
hard to implement, why?

Often those new actions seem scary or a bit
uncomfortable at first. here is a quick example…

To get in shape I decided to join a group exercise class at
my last gym.

It was very scary showing up for the class
because I knew how hard it will be, I was totally out of
shape but I knew I needed the class to motivate me.

Not only was I out of shape but I was fat. I was fatter
than most people in the class and I hated how I looked in
my shorts and t-shirt.

So I forced myself to just show up. And believe me it was
uncomfortable, and I was sore for a week afterword.

But I can’t describe to you how amazing I felt at the end
of that class because I stepped out of my comfort zone.

How can you step outside of your comfort zone? Think of 3
actions that you can take this week to get out of your
comfort zone.

Now write those 3 actions down and commit to
doing them whether or not you feel like it.

I know this is hard, but just try it, and the decide
whether it’s worth it or not.

You’ve got nothing to lose
other than your bad eating habits and maybe some of that
extra wei.ght.

How to Stop Overeating

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

Sick of being overweight?  Maybe you’ve been fat all your life, I have and I hated it.  Until recently I was a slave to junk food.  I always asked how to stop overeating and I got all kind of answers that never reall worked.  After years of trial and error, I finally started getting my eating under control and started losing weight.  I put my best tips in a free report than you can get by clicking here.

In this article I will share with you 3 tips to quickly stop overeating and start losing weight…

Tip 1 - Stop focusing so much on what you eat or how much you overeat, rather focus on why you eat.  Do you eat because you’re hungry?  Really hungry?  Pause before answering this question.  Really think about it.  Do you ever find yourself eating due to stress?  Do you ever dig into that tub of ice-cream because you’re depressed?  Do you ever reach out for those chips to escape reality in front of your tv set?

Tip 2 - Get and stay out of your comfort zone.  Wait, huh, what does comfort zone has anything to do with how to stop overeating? EVERYTHING.  You see growth and improvement in any aspect of your life requires getting out of your comfy same day in same day out lifestyle.

If you keep living your life the same way you are now you’ll keep getting the same results.  In order to make changes in your life, you have to take different actions.  Often those actions seem scary or a bit uncomfortable at first.  here is a quick example…

To get in shape I decided to join a group exercise class at my last gym.  It was very scary showing up for the class because I knew how hard it will be, I was totally out of shape but I knew I needed others to motivate me.  So I forced myself to just show up.  And believe me it was uncomfortable, and I was sore for a week afterword.  But I can’t describe to you how amazing I felt at the end of that class because I stepped out of my comfort zone.

Tip 3 - Avoid Isolation.  During times in my life I was a slave to food I often was isolated.  I hated seeing people.  I felt fat and disgusted and stayed home.  And this was a destructive cycle.  Why?  Because being isolated and lonely left me feeling sad and depressed.  And my only friend was the tub of ice cream or that box of chocolate chip cookies.  Eating was my only source of pleasure.  So I stayed isolated and kept binge eating.

You have to get out of isolation.  Go out, make new friends if you have to even if it feels uncomfortable.  Go see your grandma.  Visit some of your distant cousins.  Catch up with your junior high friends.  Do whatever you gotta do to get out of isolation.  Isolation will always lead to overeating.

I hope that reading this article has helped you answer the question of how to stop overeating.  Click here for more tip to stop overeating.

How To Stop Binge Eating

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

Are you sick of your out of control eating? Do you eat in private? Do you hide food and eat it until your stomach is about to burst? Have you tried every diet out there without any lasting success? Have you lose weight only to gain it back? Are you finally wondering How to Stop Binge Eating once and for all?

Well I’m going to share with you 3 tips to quickly stop binge eating and start losing weight beginning today.

Tip 1 - Learn all you can about emotional eating.  Emotional eating is the most common cause of weight gain.  It’s characterized by eating to cope with emotions including boredom, stress, fear or sadness.  You see it in the movies all the time.  A girl’s boyfriend breaks up with her, and she’s so sad, she goes home and binges on that ice cream tub.

While it’s obvious in the movies it might not be so obvious in your life.  To stop emotional eating you must first become aware of your emotional eating triggers.

Tip 2 - Start Journaling Constantly.  I don’t mean writing “dear diary, today Mike said I was a hottie and he was checking out my butt…”, I mean journaling about your feelings, your emotions, what’s behind them, what you worry about, the real stuff.

Here is how you can start.  At the end of a stressful day sit down and think about the 3 top things on your mind, the things you worry about the most and are stressed about the most.  After listing them down start making more notes under each topic.  Decide whether it’s something you can control or not.  If you can control it come up with actions steps you can take to correct the situation.  If you can’t then decide to let it go.

Tip 3 - Exercise.  I gotta admit exercise is a pain in the butt.  Come on, I would rather sleep on my hammock all day like Fred Flinstone than go the the gym.  Or lay down on my couch in front of a TV.  However exercise has many benefits like the following…

  • Stress Relief - Exercising is a great way to relief stress, if you don’t exercise you might resort to emotional eating to cope with stress
  • More Productivity - Exercising will boost your productivity.  You’ll find you can do so much more during the day when you exercise
  • Weight Loss - Exercise will help you lose weight and keep it off.

I hope reading this article helped you answer the question of how to stop binge eating.  Here are some more tips to stop binge eating.
