Breaking Out of the Blues!

How I Got Back to Sanity (You Can Too!)

Last week was “one of those weeks!”

I was my own worst enemy – I was thinking tons of garbage thoughts. I wasn’t supporting myself.

I ended up face-to-face with chocolate cake (ate too much!)

Then I thought, “How can I tell women that I have the answer to overeating if I am overeating – emotionally eating?”

The answer: I am not perfect! (Yes, I do wish I were sometimes – but I am told that it would be boring).

I was SO frustrated with my business. “Surely if I do X then Y should happen,” I thought. Well, if you have been in business long enough you know that “things always take longer than you think.”

So I overate.
Yes, I got out of it. But being in it is awful. And, you feel like you will NEVER get out of it. You believe that you must diet.

But, diets don’t work! You need a permanent solution.

Here is what saved me and can save you too:

-I am aware that I am upset. And, I tell myself it is OK – I will figure it out (in between bites or when I choose to stop).So, even when I am overeating I am VERY aware that I am choosing to avoid a feeling.

-I know that it is just a feeling – and I don’t have to eat my feelings. I can just feel them.

-I have decided NOT to beat myself up when I overeat.

-I ask, “What do I want? What do I want that food can never give me?” and I take a deep breath.

-I journal. When I do, the insights are amazing!

-If I don’t journal, I get away from the food and ask the question again. “What do I want?”

-I TRUST myself not to go past a “+3” or “+4”. I know that I won’t go crazy and gain weight. (I teach you how in the program).

-I know that it’s not the end of the world – I can escape the situation by asking the question, giving myself time and COMPASSION.

Can you stop?
Do you KNOW when you are “satisfied”?
Can you eat your favorite foods without worrying that you will overeat?
