If you score is 70 or more, you are probably a true emotional eater and need to get
regain some emotional control.
If your score is between 25-79 you have some emotional issues with eating and still
need to make some changes how you cope with your feelings.
If your score is under 25, you probably have a good outlook on life and the causes for
your overeating lie elsewhere.
Our outlook on life is sorted through our personalities and attitudes. This is how we
interpret life around us. One of the first things that we can do to make our lives less
stressful is to not take anything personally.
If someone is making you stressed at work by being rude to you, it only becomes toxic
in your system when you accept his or her expression of selfishness. Don’t rude
people lash out at others because of their own inadequacies? It really has nothing to
do with you, so don’t let that poison enter your life. This is true of almost every
unpleasant event you may encounter.
When you learn to be at peace and happy with whatever your situation is, you will have
won the battle with your emotional eating.
Own you actions and reactions. Don’t let others control them. You should be getting
healthier and losing weight for yourself, and no one else. If they are happy for you, that
is great, but don’t give them the power to sabotage you, by needing their approval.
Changing your emotional response requires a new filtering system in your interpretation
of things. Don’t just react. Slow down. Ask yourself if this is just a reaction to how you
have been programmed and be willing to change your reaction.
Don’t make expectations of others or let their expectations of you influence your actions
and reactions. If someone gives you a gift, you don’t have to accept it, especially if it is
a gift of emotional poison.
You deserve to feel good about your life. Let go of any emotional baggage that you
have collected and hung on to. Learning to do this will allow you to move out of the
emotional pollution that keeps us mired in negative eating patterns.
Exercise, deep breathing, creative visualization are all actions that will help you reduce
stress and anxiety as you start making the emotional changes needed to take you in a
new healthier direction.
