How to Stop Binge Eating and Lose Weight?

ATTENTION: Want to know how to stop binge eating and lose weight? 

“Is The Binge Eating Roller Coaster Ride You Fear A Frantic Feeling Spiralling Out Of Self-Control

diet roller coaster

Dear Friend,

It’s true, all of us eat too much from time to time…

The difference is overeating while feeling out of control.

Do you feel powerless to stop overeating or compulsive eating?

Do you think you may be suffering from binge eating?

For fifteen years, I struggled with mid-afternoon and evening binging.

You already know you can control yourself for a while.

Until you hit a threshold and then you can’t take it anymore…

Okay it’s not your fault, yet it is your choice.

Do you believe you are a powerless victim of foods?

If you do you are at the mercy of your binge eating habit.

Let me explain…

When you eat fat and sugar your brain releases…

The “I feel awesome” chemical dopamine.

Yes, even if you drink alcohol or see new things to buy.

Dopamine released during binges can become addictive.

And you’ll binge more and more often.

All because you crave the rush of dopamine.

Want to break free from the binge eating feel good cycle…

Simply feel better with a healthier relationship about food.

And the end result is to feel good about yourself again.

Is more self-control or self-discipline the answer?

Think it will help you stop binging and emotional eating?

You see, self-control or self-discipline relies on willpower.

To be brutally honest,  the odds are totally stacked against you.

Yes, I’ve been down this never ending path too.

From personal struggles and experiences I can tell you…

Binge eating is not about more discipline or self-control.

It’s confusing and frustrating, yet it doesn’t have to be.

In fact, it’s the exact reason why I became a weight loss coach.

Yes, because as a fearful child, I carried trauma from my youth.

I believed eating food would in some way comfort and protect me.

Your internal thoughts creates your external world…

What your unconscious mind believes is forming your reality.

No, I didn’t want to choose binge eating!

I needed binge eating to help me cope with pain and fear.

My unconscious programming was full of fear and anxiety.

I had no way of coping with “how can I control eating too much”

And “how can I stop feeling hungry” to understand or overcome it.

For some reason, it started as a child from stress and comfort eating.

A response to emotional trauma can include:

  • Low self-esteem
  • Persistent fatigue
  • Hard to sleep, nightmares
  • Fear of recurrences
  • Anxiety focused flashbacks
  • Depression, loss of interest
  • Sadness, lack of motivation
  • Avoidance of emotions
  • Sensations or activities linked to trauma

Are you concerned about what overeating could cause…

To impact on your life, family, relationship, career and finances.

I’d eat to medicate myself as a child to drown out the feelings.

And it progressed to overeating to medicate myself as a teen.

I remember being self-conscious about beauty and body image.

And self-esteem: society’s influence on the perception of beauty

Binging is a survival mechanism to hide and run away from deep feelings.

Excessive food, exercise, drugs, alcohol, sex, mask feelings we don’t like…

And anxiety is easily hidden by high fat, sugar, full belly or alcoholic drinks.

The truth is, they’re all different reactions of the same root cause.

You’ll always continue to sabotage yourself…

If you don’t address the root cause of problems.

Right now, the root cause isn’t even something you’re aware of…

The programming from childhood or traumatic experience in the past.

Emotional trauma or unconscious belief can influence habits and behaviors.

The result is wanting to constantly escape the inner pain.

And were all dealing with these daily hidden problems at some level.

No matter how awesome your childhood and youth…

You’ve probably attached meaning to an event…

Understanding impact of trauma and event that triggers emotional trauma.

Psychological trauma is a result of a severely distressing event. 

Trauma is overwhelming amount of stress exceeding the ability to cope.

And it’s painful to integrate emotions involved with that experience.

Inner trauma and stressful beliefs could be crushing your progress.

The cycle of stress response drives up your hormones… 

Can stress affect your hormone levels?

As the body responds to high levels of stress, it uses progesterone.

Progesterone is then used to manufacture stress hormone cortisol.

In fact, elevated levels of cortisol suppress the body’s natural sex hormones.

Acute and chronic stress can alter the body’s hormone balance…

Stress sends a message to the part of the brain called the hypothalamus.

The hypothalamus releases corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH). 

CRH tells the pituitary gland to release adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)

ACTH tells the adrenal glands to produce cortisol.

Igniting emotional overeating or compulsive eating.

Is binge eating hurting your ability to really perform at your best…

Stress can cause disruption of hormones, low dopamine, high cortisol…

And increased levels of estrogen.

Does binge eating all start from emotional belief?

Food Obsession, Emotional Eating Or Binge Eating?

ATTENTION: Do you often use language associated with addiction to describe your relationships with food…

“Why Women Suffering From Emotional Eating and Binge Eating Often Get Addicted To Food…”

Carb craver, chocaholic, how many times have you heard someone describe their relationship with food…

Yes, for many women the food obsession struggle is for real.

So, is it really possible to be addicted to certain types of food?

Did you know food can trigger behaviours.

And brain responses similar to drug addiction.

Imagine you’re a full time professional chef!

And you’re struggling with binge eating or other types of eating disorder.

May be for many it would be bizarre and counter-intuitive…

How could anyone suffering from binge eating spend so much time around food?

Are obsessions with food often linked with eating disorders?

Does it highlight the complexity and effects which go beyond eating itself?

Many of us have used diets at some point in our lives…

Whether the diet is to lose weight.

Maintain weight or be healthier.

What most diets have in common is restriction.

And this type of restriction is not just behavioural.

It is not simply the restriction of not eating a biscuit or forbidden food…

The restriction starts in our brains when we tell ourselves certain foods are off limits.

And where we talk about forbidden foods which keeps popping up in conversations.

In truth, people restricting their food intake can become preoccupied with food.

The restriction and preoccupation can manifest itself in a strong desire to overeat.

Women suffering from binge eating, binging and emotional eating are often obsessed with food.

In fact, I found myself hoarding recipes, reading articles, watching cookery shows…

Always stressed out cooking for others and preparing meals they themselves would not eat.

What drives an obsession with food…

There are two reasons why those with eating disorders might be driven to obsess over food.

The first is the brain’s way of telling a starving person they need to eat.

In context from an evolutionary perspective…

This is for survival and adapting to the environment.

You see, our brain won’t let us forget we are in need of fuel.

A study conducted by American physiologist Ancel Keys after World War II…

Ancel explored effects of starvation and re-feeding.

He wanted to better understand how to help concentration camp victims.

Ancel Keys found those who were starved became obsessed with food…

They dreamed and talked about food constantly.

All other aspects of life became insignificant.

The thoughts only subsided when they regained body fat.

Three of the participants even went on to become chefs.

It illustrates how great the impact is to experience food deprivation.

And ultimately how powerful it is on their decisions and life choices.

The second reason people with eating disorders obsess over food…

Is related to the need for control.

Control is often central to the development of a disorder.

For many sufferers…

Controlling their eating is a way to feel some mastery in an otherwise emotionally chaotic world.

Many studies have shown people with eating disorders suffer from low self esteem…

And often have other mental health problems, such as depression or anxiety.

To prepare food and be strong enough not to eat it.

This reinforces their self-worth and to some extent empowers them.

Pleasure from food is gained in an almost voyeuristic manner watching others eat.

Bear in mind food obsessions is not limited just to people with eating disorders.

Anyone using a restrictive diet is more likely to experience preoccupying thoughts.

And it affects decision making and saps our brain power as well.

A study found successful dieters and those who when given free access to appealing foods…

Surprisingly did not eat much but performed badly on a simple cognitive task.

Unsuccessful dieters and those who ate lots of the food performed very well.

This suggested those who were successful at restricting their intake…

Did so at the expense of their ability to perform another task.

And when others decided to ditch the diet, they freed up their brain capacity and performed well.

So obsessing over food and trying to maintain a diet can have detrimental effects on our performance.

Learned obsessions with food goes hand in hand with our relationships with food.

This can be influenced early in life and might affect our propensity to obsess over it…

A recent long-term study found mothers who use food as a reward…

Were more likely to have children who overeat when distressed.

This is compared with children of mothers who used less controlling feeding practices.

Learning early in life that food provides a source of comfort could play a role in food obsessions later in life.

Traditional ways used for recovery from an eating disorder can be a long process…

It can take many years, be derailed by relapses and it may never completely go away.

Even for those who have recovered, food may always hold a special meaning.

Is food obsession, binge eating, food addiction eating beyond physical comfort…

Feeling out of control trying to satisfy hunger which can’t be satiated with food?
