People tend to seek out comfort foods in order to deal with
stressful feelings. Many people use food as a drug in the same way that
alcohol or marijuana is used. When sugar or overeating is used as a way to
numb out feelings, no diet in the world can help.
Part of the reason we seek comfort from food is because of early
conditioning by those who loved us and wanted us to be happy and
comfortable. Early on we learned to use food to reward, to comfort, to
celebrate. In order to correct our relationship with food we need to
‘unplug’ the old learned patterns of when and why we eat and install new,
updated programming.
This reprogramming is not done in the conscious part of our mind, where our
will-power and logic reside. The faulty program is contained in the
subconscious part of our mind where our feelings reside. Anyone who has
tried to talk themselves into having a bowl of green beans before bed
instead of ice cream knows this!
Emotional Freedom Technique and Hypnosis work directly with the
subconscious part of the mind. They are useful for all troubling issues
related to food, not only weight loss They are easy to learn and can be used
to resolve, once and for all: |
