What non food behaviors give you the same benefit with out eating! ........ Well........
It is not surprising that so many people confuse hunger for food with their hunger for emotional fulfillment. Food is friendship. Food is love. Food is soothing. Food is attention. Food can also be trouble, and since we are not aware of the connection with food and feelings, we often eat unconsciously. Take a moment and think about your eating patterns. Why do you eat? Do you eat when you're anxious, frustrated, bored, angry, sad, or lonely? Often, the foods chosen during these times are high in fat, salt, sugar, and calories. But even if low calorie foods are eaten to fill an emotional hunger, food is being used inappropriately. Food should not be used to nourish the soul. Food is fuel and should only be used to nourish the body. One of the first steps in stopping this unhealthy cycle is awareness. A food diary is one of the best tools to help you gain awareness about your eating patterns. In addition to when, how much, and what you eat, record your emotions when you eat. Learn to reflect for a few moments before eating to get in touch with your feelings. Becoming aware of your emotional eating patterns is the first step to coping with emotional hunger in a healthful, more positive way .
Celebrate Yourself!!!!!!!!! – treat yourself to a wonderful day that is full of things you love to do. Give yourself the same respect and attention you would offer a friend or date. Go someplace special, and treat yourself to your favorite things ("raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens"). Celebrate your own company by doing the things you love to do. Shopping....gardening.....spa yourself...It doesnt have to cost money! Just take time for you this will bring you great joy!!! TRUST ME!!!! Take care if you!!!!
