What happens when comfort food becomes a curse, but also ends up being the primary reason you’re feeling bad in the first place? Emotional overeating, binge eating and what some Mental Health professionals call compulsive eating can be controlled, but only if you track down and neutralize the root cause of that behavior first. That root cause of these emotions is the real reason you have reached for your favorite snack, meal or indulgence in the first place. This eating is a response, not a solution to that original bad feeling inside of you.
According to the Mayo Clinic, emotional eating can have many triggers. In their article ‘Weight loss: Gain control of emotional eating’ (Mayo Clinic.org), they list the most common emotional overeating sparks to be -Relationship conflicts, Work or business, Fatigue, Financial pressures and Health problems.
Frequently the response of poor food choices to the trigger does NOT solve the problem. It merely distracts you enough to fool the conscious mind into believing you have. However, the root cause is lodged in the subconscious and remains active, waiting for the next stressor to fire up the vicious cycle all over again. The more you reach for food to distract with, then the more frequently you’ll consume the distraction. Your subconscious emotions need a satisfying resolution, not just another Twinkie.
Celeste Hackett is a Board-Certified Hypnotist and Coach in the Dallas Fort Worth are and she says – “The best thing about resolving your emotions when it comes to weight loss is finally knowing the effort you need to make is actually easy and sustainable”.
The famed Mount Sinai Health Care System in New York agrees, in an informational article they published on their website called ‘Break the Bonds of Emotional Eating’ (Mount Sinai.org), they say “If you have trouble managing your emotions, you may be more likely to use food for that purpose”. Celeste Hackett can elaborate on that point – “Emotional eating needs be targeted first in the subconscious, because feelings from the past, that get triggered, are the main problem”.
So, if you’d like to break the bonds of bagels in your life, or shatter the hold any other comfort food has on your consciousness, getting help from a subconscious expert such as Celeste may be the wisest choice from your available menu options.
