THE EMOTIONAL EATER-THE MIND/BODY SPLIT – EATING IS AN EMOTIONAL RESPONSE TO AN EMOTIONAL SITUATION

Posted on June 15, 2011, under Weight Loss.

We are the masters of setting unrealistic goals. And we are constantly frustrated, constantly wanting.
Because eating is an emotional response to an emotional situation, we get unclear messages from our bodies. Since most of us don’t even know where our stomachs are, we can’t hear our little cells yelling “Feed me. Nourish me. It’s my turn.” Instead we respond to the heart—only the heart.
As I said earlier, I’m not going to take your heart out of your stomach; I’m going to put your head and your body in. You are going to begin to think about food, really think about it.
I’m not going to ask you to give up the one thing that could make life work for you.
I’m going to teach you a way of eating that will allow you to be as compulsive as you need to be. I’m not going to make you change an aspect of your personality as inherent as the color of your eyes. I’m not going to make you stop eating, but I am going to make you start feeling.
