You know when you want to lose weight but it’s not working because you can’t stop emotional eating because you feel so extremely frustrated because you can’t stop eating and therefore you’re not losing weight because you won’t be able to as long as you continue to eat due to your emotions?

Whew! That’s a lot isn’t it.

I understand, I’ve been there too, but unless you break that cycle, how will you ever lose weight?

When You Feel So Frustrated You Just Want to Jump Out of Your Own Skin, Do This Instead of Emotional Eating

Following is a list of the tips I shared in episode #485 of The JoLynn Braley Show to avoid emotional eating when you’re feeling extreme frustration.

Do be sure and listen in to get the nuances of the following list because without that, the following list might not be as helpful to you. Simply click the play button on the audio player below the big pink arrows, you’ll see it below.

In the meantime, here’s my list!

1. Stop beating yourself up for feeling so frustrated
2. Forgive yourself: forgive yourself for how bad you feel, forgive yourself for all of the overeating you did in the past which brought you to the weight you are now, forgive yourself for gaining the weight back, forgive yourself for all of it so you can move forward with totally new action now.
3. Stop beating yourself up for all of the mistakes you made in the past.
4. Recognize that emotions are just emotions. They aren’t the end of the world unless you act on your emotions in a negative way, which by the way, wouldn’t you agree that emotional eating is a negative action because it hurts YOU in the long run?
5. Remind yourself that where you are is temporary, as long as you take New and Different action now. It helps if you are taking new and different action with proven steps that have worked for others before you to end emotional eating and get the weight off.
6. Feel your frustration instead of stuffing it down with food with emotional eating.
7. Imagine the possibility of releasing your emotional eating.
8. Use your breath: use deep breathing to move through your frustration and feel it without emotional eating to stuff it down.
9. Let go of your fear of feeling your negative emotions. Stop avoiding feeling your emotions. Eating them will only keep the weight on.
10. Get up and move. Go for a walk, pound a pillow, just get up and move to move through your frustration rather than eating it.
11. Practice new ways of handling your Inner Self world on a day-to-day basis to avoid eating due to your emotions rather than eating for physical

Remember: Consistency is critical for long term success with your weight and in order to avoid emotional eating, consistency in practicing the above steps is critical in order to become effective with them. Daily practice for a minimum of 30 days in a row will get you off to a good start.

As long as you have a highly skilled mind-body weight loss coach who is helping you stay accountable (and you are willing to be held accountable) then you can learn these new skills and avoid emotional eating. A food diet just simply isn’t enough since the food is not what’s driving your emotional eating – your emotions and how you handle your emotions/avoid your emotions is what’s driving you emotional eating, which is why a food diet hasn’t cured your emotional eating. Make sense?

Who Else Wants to Stop Emotional Eating and Lose Weight For Good?

Do you know exactly WHAT you need to do to lose weight but all of that information doesn’t matter since you can’t stop emotional eating? After all, as long as you are stuck in the emotional eating cycle, all of that overeating is counterproductive to your weight loss goals. It just doesn’t work out.

But what if you could stop emotional eating? Then what?

Does it make sense that if you could, that then you’d be able to live a healthy lifestyle, “eat normal” instead of stuffing yourself and stuffing down your emotions, and then you’d feel excited when you weigh in once a week?

How good would you feel if you really could do this?!

If you realize you can’t see your own blind spots and you’re aware that coaching with the right coach is the fastest way to get from where you are to where you want to be, then apply now for a complimentary weight loss discovery session with me.

This is for you if you’d love to stop asking yourself, “Why am I so smart and successful except for this one area of my life that’s about my eating and my weight?! I just feel like a big ‘ole failure because I can’t lose weight, even though the rest of my life is great.”
