“For many people, simply eliminating emotional eating can be the difference between weighing 250 and 125, no dieting involved.” ~ Bob Greene
- Prepare to make a Change. (Decide)
- Call on Inner Strength from the Holy Spirit to Alter Your Course.
Psalm 16:8 I have set the Lord continually before me; because he
is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.* Practice Handling Stressful Situations
Lou Tice in his Investment in Excellence Course says he practices handling stressful
situations by pretending he is dodging barriers as he goes on a walk or run. (The neighbors wonder about you, but press on.)
- Make Excuses Unacceptable
- Be sure all Nutritional Needs are met.
- Drank 1/2 of your body weight daily in water.
- Have an Eating Cutoff Time.
Your body does necessary repair work as you sleep and excess
Food on the stomach at bedtime often turns to fat. 7:30 PM
is my eating cutoff time.
- Implement the 10 Second Delay before reaching for Food triggered by Emotions.
- Eat with Intention, not Unthinkingly.
Eph 5:17 MSG Don’t live carelessly, unthinkingly. Make sure
you understand what the Master wants.
Join the Team as we uncover the wrong thinking that lies beneath emotional eating. We will begin a search for emotional trigger points and develop a battle plan to overcome. We will set some boundaries and new habits in place that will make all the difference in our success path. Others have broken the cycle of Emotional Eating and you can too.
The Dirty Dozen Team
These are the easiest to capture and throw out before they take hold. If not captured, they will grow and intertwine.
This dirty dozen player counts on the fact that emotions and thoughts intertwine and are inseparable. There are only two types of emotions: Love and Fear. All other emotions are derivatives of these. We are wired for love, not fear.
This member is very sneaky. He originates from toxic thoughts. Every word we speak contains power. Proverbs 18:21 tells us that LIFE and Death are in the power of the tongue.
He is the Leader of the group. He tries to deceive us into thinking that we aren’t responsible for our choices. We are. Choice is a God-given gift.
This guy waits for nighttime to begin his work. Dr. Leaf says that the more troubling our dreams are, the more work we need to do on our thought life.
This player of the dozen grows roots that try to strangle love and joy. The main toxic seed of all is UNFORGIVENESS. We can sweep this seed right out with a disciplined consistent strategy (which Team Fabulous is learning).
