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

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?

Top Tips to Stop Food Cravings by Mel Thompson

When you are feeling tired or stressed, do you notice that your mind begins conjuring up images of your favorite foods?

Do chocolates, donuts, or a slice of warm bread and butter tempt and taunt you when you are trying to keep your weight down?

If so, then you are one of many millions of people battling cravings on an almost daily basis.

According to Dr. Omar Manejwala, author of fascinating book, Craving: Why We Can’t Seem to Get Enough…

Human beings are hard-wired to crave food; he states there are powerful evolutionary, biological and social factors that create a ‘craving culture’ that overtakes our body and mind.

The good news, it is relatively easy to fight  cravings, if you take a few important steps…

 

Simply follow these tips and you will find that losing and maintaining weight…

Or simply following a healthier, sounder nutritional regime, is far easier than you ever imagined:

• Do something else when you’re feeling tired or stressed: Focus on positive steps you can take to stop your cravings.

Instead of asking yourself, “What do I need to stop doing?”

Ask, “What do I need to start doing?”

Often, stress occurs when we have too much pent-up energy, or when we are not getting enough exercise.

Regular physical activity (and specific exercises and activities like yoga and mindful meditation) significantly lower levels of stress hormone cortisol.

When our stress levels are down, it is much easier to battle the urge to binge or indulge in unhealthy foods.

• Keep a journal: When you see a nutritionist, one of the first things they ask you to do is to keep a journal; jot down absolutely everything you eat, and at what time.

You may be surprised to find that you tend to indulge cravings at specific times of the day.

This makes it much easier to avoid low sugar levels that often make you crave unhealthy foods, by bringing healthier snacks to work, school or college, so you can keep  glucose levels stable throughout the day.

• Take the time to shop: When you have cravings, you tend to desperately reach for the first food available.

It therefore helps to have a kitchen and pantry full of healthy snacks, and devoid of chips, cookies, sweets and other processed, refined foods.

Always prepare a wide range of salad ingredients and keep them in the fridge; chop and wash them beforehand, so whipping up a healthy salad takes just a few seconds.

• Avoid tempting scenarios: If you know you can’t resist buying a cupcake from your favorite pastry shop, don’t walk past it.

Make it easier on yourself so that following a healthy eating plan doesn’t seem like torture.

• Create a sense of belonging: Sometimes, human beings indulge in dangerous habits and addictions (to alcohol, substances and food alike) because we have unmet needs in our lives.

It is important to build a healthy social network, to eliminate the sense of emptiness that often leads us to binge.

Thank you Mel Thompson for sharing your valued tips and insights.

Food Cravings

Any situation the body perceives as dangerous or threatening triggers stress.

Also the “fight or flight” response…

This threat may be real or perceived as a physical danger or something more subtle.

For example:

Daily situations in dealing with food cravings, interpersonal conflicts, disagreement with a co-worker or financial pressures.

The body’s efforts to deal with a threatening situation cause a series of reactions.

Heart accelerates to provide maximum oxygen levels to organs and cells.

Muscles tighten and shorten to prepare for action.

You’re ready to maneuver through the situation (fight or flee from danger)…

Adrenaline flows into body heightening awareness for a quick burst of energy.

The automatic stress response serves a purpose, right?

It is there to protect you, but chronic stress can become a real problem.

Chronic stress means remaining in a stressful response state for a prolonged period of time and it takes a negative toll on the body.

It causes physical and psychological distress, which affects overall health and well-being.

• The 50% prevalence of any emotional disorder is typically due to untreated stress.
• The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) reports stress is significant hazard in the workplace and costs over $300 billion annually…

Symptoms of chronic stress related to continuous release of stress hormones (cortisol) and elevated metabolism:

• A woman under chronic stress displays emotional and behavioral markers and may become irritable, experience feelings of overwhelm, depression and low self-esteem.

• Stress associated behaviors, overeating or undereating, avoidance and displaying nervous behaviors like nail biting and pacing can be symptoms of chronic stress.

• Stress related aches and pains could occur in different parts of the body. When muscles shorten or tighten to prepare for action within stress response and remain frozen that way!

This constant tension causes aches and pains in different parts of the body.

Muscular tension while under stress varies from one person to another…

Some women clench or tighten their jaw causing pain and discomfort in this area and possibly across forehead and scalp.

Other women hold tension in shoulders and neck.

Some women may find themselves experiencing chronic backaches…

Yoga and Stress Related Aches and Pain

Essentially, yoga acts as a therapeutic antidote to stress; provides physical, mental and emotional relief to women experiencing chronic stress.

Relief can happen during the actual yoga practice and the benefits often continue to present beyond sessions via yoga consistently…

So its good to reduce stress, which lowers cortisol (stress hormone) secretions.

And also good to lower blood pressure which improves emotional stability and mood.

Practising yoga has been shown to relieve immediate symptoms of stress related aches, pains, mental distress and negative emotional states.

Also appears to effectively counter the fight or flight stress response by lowering cortisol levels by teaching the mind to observe (through meditation) rather than react to situations.
