Lose Weight–control eating habit. Portion your food is just one of many techniques to eliminate the eating habit. Being overweight along with all the associated health and self image issues is the cost of lack of food control.

In fact if all overeating were because of habit, it would be easy to lose all the weight one wanted to and keep it off. The problem is that for many decades, the over eating problem has been treated mainly as a habit. The most effective techniques for changing eating habit is awareness.

If you think about it, most techniques and programs such as Weight Watchers are about the overweight person becoming more aware. They use one or a combination of the following:

• Behavioral modification such as putting the fork down between bites, eating slowly…
• Weighing Food.
• Food Equivalents.
• Calorie counting.
• Stop thinking techniques.

True, these techniques do work for while. However, over the long haul, there is a break down to the change. The old eating habits returns to cause one to gain the weight back and then some.

Let’s define eating out of habit: The easiest way to understand it is to relate with the person who stops at Dunkin Doughnuts every morning on his/her way to work. It’s a habit. Or the person who comes home in the afternoon, walks through the living room into the kitchen, and opens the refrigerator door. It’s a habit.

Break the habit and break the behavior. Take a different route to work. Find another activity in the afternoon to replace coming home. Or, if you do come home, climb in the back window instead of walking through the front door.

Any of these techniques are effective in breaking the eating habit. Weight comes off until… The “until” is an emotional stress at which point all the effort “goes out the door.”

There are two factors that end the diet or whatever awareness technique that were being used:

1. To self berate: The individual gets very upset with him or her self and begins to wonder if they have a “mental problem.” They call themselves stupid, dumb, asinine… They believe that this one goof-up has completely ruined all their past successes and may even gorge themselves to get even with themselves. In other words, they have become their own worst enemy through their own negative thinking.

2. They are totally at loss as to how to handle the stressful emotion. The disappointment or success that led to the emotion yields a stressful situation in handling the emotion. This is because most of us have been trained to avoid emotions, control them, or pretend they don’t exist. Even success leads to emotion? Yes, the emotion is happiness, yet it’s amazing how many of us don’t allow ourselves to feel happy. “Don’t be too happy, you’ll set yourself up for the big let down,” is just one of several beliefs we’ve acquired towards happiness.

We could write a book about all the other emotions such as uncertainty, upset, happiness, confusion, frustration, feeling down, boredom, excitement… The result is emotional eating.

All the good work achieved to control eating habit. Portion control and everything else is lost. When we learn to treat ourselves lovingly instead of self put-downs and embrace emotion instead of denying them, changing eating habit is a natural process.

A progressive approach to change eating habit involves asking important questions “What is missing here? Why are you not getting the results you’ve been promised?” It is clearly insane to keep dieting and using techniques to deal with change eating habit when the results are so poor. It’s more important to gain a grasp on how to stop emotional eating–eating emotional stress than it is to read the scale. Besides focusing on the scale doesn’t empower you to be a better more enlightened person, whereas learning how to overcome emotional eating empowers you in all aspects of your life. If you’re a sales person, you’ll be a better sales person. If you’re an assembly line worker, you’ll be a better assembly line worker; a mother, a better mother… Overall, you’ll build self esteem and find that what you really want to eat is far more nutritious and less in quantity than you ever before imagined possible.
