  • Conquer Emotional Overeating - Snow White And Other Fairy Tales - So how emotional are you over food? Some people regard food just as a source of fuel. They skip meals because they literally forget to eat and it will only be that gnawing hunger in their stomach that drives them to food. Lucky them, you might think. Actually, that's not that case. People who are VERY food unaware can easily make poor food choices because they are just not paying attention to what they eat. They won't overeat, but nor will they choose good quality nosh. They wait till they are hungry and could almost choose food randomly. I'm assuming, if you're reading this article, that overeating might be something you do. It could be for the sheer love of food (let's not knock it; one of the great pleasures in life is eating).
  • Conquer Emotional Eating - Start with Spring Cleaning! - Emotional eating can sabotage any diet or cause people to pile the pounds back on when they've reached their target weight. Does that donut have your name written on it? Is that last chocolate in the box the one that tastes the best? (And you'd know that because you've eaten all the others). Are you driven to eat when you are happy or sad or bored or angry? Do you feel a need to eat because you "deserve it"; you've had a tough day?
  • 11 Signs Of Emotional Eating - Overeating is emotional by nature. We simply aren't programmed to eat more than our bodies require for no reason. And we don't keep doing the same thing over and over unless it's serving us in some way.
  • Healthy Eating - Don't Leave the Deck Without a Dinner! - I recently wrote that Younger Son was on the Ark Royal. Well he survived it - and more importantly the Ark Royal survived him! He was a bit peeved that as they left the ship at Liverpool the crew were putting tables and chairs out for a party. Younger Son felt he was missing out on a feast and after five days at sea he finally felt he could eat again. I pointed out to him that the event was probably a reception for the bigwigs of Liverpool and was never intended for a bunch of by-now-quite-whiffy sea cadets. I did sympathise, though. How disappointing to see a potential feast in preparation and know it is not intended for you. Which is how many of us feel when we go out with friends or are eating in public.
  • Diet and Weight Loss Tips - A Lesson from a Walrus! - Watching a nature programme the other day, I was informed that a single walrus can eat 4000 clams in a ten minute dive (Nature's Great Events, broadcast by BBC, Feb. 11 2009) which seems a tad greedy to me, but then look at the size of a walrus. Are they that big because they eat a lot of clams or do they eat a lot of clams to stay that big? And a diet of thousands clams can't, one feels, do a lot for their digestion.
  • Emotional Eaters: 5 Top Tips for Surviving Easter! - Ditch the past - ok so you ate your own body weight in chocolate on Sunday. You meant to go for a walk in the spring sunshine but were so weighted down with chocolate you couldn't. And now you feel guilt ridden, despairing and fatter. Now inside you there is a really bossy person who pretends to be an adult and is telling you what to do the whole time. Let's call her Miss Bossy Boots (obviously if you have a Y chromosome he's Mr Bossy Boots). So Bossy Boots is telling you off for having been so weak willed. She/he was, of course, there when you ate the children's Easter eggs and had to dash out to the local convenience store for last minute replacements.
  • Emotional Eaters: Old Habits Die Hard - But You Can Get Over Them! - I spend a lot of time coaching people through emotional eating. It's a bit like taking apart an onion (ever noticed how many food metaphors I use?). Take off one layer, you think you've cracked it then there's another issue to deal with. And all of us are susceptible to our old habits. Including me, last Thursday.
  • Weight Loss Tips ~ How Losing Weight Is A Bit Like Visiting An Ancient Palace - When were in Spain we decided to visit the Alhambra. This sounds as if it ought to be a bingo hall in Whitley Bay (US readers - for Whitley Bay think Atlantic City only smaller and colder). The Alhambra is, of course, an ancient palace originally built by the Arabs in Spain and then occupied by Ferdinand and Isabella the same year that they sent Cristoforo Colombo on his great overseas trip. We asked Younger Son if he wanted to come. He declined. Was it the thought of the 8-hour bus ride? Spending a day with his parents? No, this is what he said about visiting places: "You go into the first room, it's old and interesting. You look at it for a bit.
  • Emotional Eating and Weight Gain - How to Stop It - Emotional eating and weight gain are closely linked. This article will emphasize on how emotional eating results in overeating and finally weight gain. You begin to eat when you are anxious, frustrated, bored, angry, sad, lonely or even when you want to celebrate something.

  • Weight Loss Tips to Get You Through to the New Year - Our Christmas began early when my daughter and I went to Nuremberg to visit the Christkindlesmarkt or Christmas market. I went there to buy, among other things, angel chimes, only to find that the chimes I wanted actually come from Sweden - and can, therefore, probably be bought at IKEA! But Nuremberg is much nicer than IKEA; the old town dating back to the middle ages and looking like something from a story book. They have the oddest collection of museums including the Hat Museum, Pigeon Museum, ghoulishly the Hangman's Museum and unrivetingly the Nuremberg Allotment Gardeners Museum.
  • Weight Loss Tips - Rear Window - In this Hitchcock movie, the amiable but earnest Jimmy Stewart is confined to his New York apartment by a broken leg and thinks he has witnessed a murder. Sitting at his window he sees nearly all the activities in the apartments opposite. The gorgeous Grace Kelly is sceptical but gamely volunteers to help him with his investigations. It's a wonderful cross-section of New York life, capturing the mundane and the personal touches of lives across the way.
  • Emotional Eating: I'm Hooked On A Feeling - For many people, food does more than fill our stomachs - it also satisfies feelings. But when you quench those feelings with comfort food when you're not experiencing true hunger - that's emotional eating. And emotional eating is one of the leading causes of weight gain. What are the telltale signs of false hunger and how can they be overcome? The first step is awareness. We need to understand and observe how and why we eat. The best way to do this is to keep a food journal, listing what you eat and when as well as how you were feeling at the time. Don't make a conscious effort to change your patterns, just record what you eat.
  • Compulsive Eaters - Did Cinderella Have A Good Press Officer? - Cinderella was never one of my favourite fairy tales! Mainly because I have large feet and would never have fitted into that glass slipper.
  • Inspriation for Weight Loss - It's Not the End of the World - News is a strange thing. Until a couple of weeks ago I had never heard the term "hockey mom" or even heard of a Large Hadron Collider, but it can, apparently, reveal the secrets of the universe. When driving to school the other day my son asked "Is this the day the world ends?" Don't let your mind become a black hole of excuses.
  • Conquer Clutter Or Die Trying - If you would like to conquer clutter once and for all in your home, there are only a few things you need to do. But you WILL need to do them faithfully each and every day. Are you interested? These aren't difficult suggestions, but they may require some new actions on your part for success. Frankly, even if you only try some of them, you'll probably notice a difference in the amount of clutter in your home. 1. Stop the piles coming in. Okay, you probably can't actually stop the piles of clutter coming in everyday, but you can stop them from piling up. If your home is like a lot of homes, you have piles of mail, piles of school papers, and piles of newspapers and magazines coming into your house on a daily basis.
  • Emotional Eating - Battle For Your Future and Take It Slowly - Since we last met I've been to Battle - no, not a state of warfare (though I am capable of that!) but the site of the Battle of Hastings in 1066. It is just a field, though a very historic one, but well worth a visit if you are in the neighbourhood, along with Battle Abbey. Standing on the site of the battle, I was aware that nine hours of fighting had shaped the whole of English history and that nearly a thousand years later we still shape and date our laws from 1066.

Or you stick to the diet all week then go out at the weekend and find you overeat at a family gathering...
  • Healthy Eating - Let's Get Back On Track - Almost everyone overeats and under exercises at Christmas. Yes, thin people do it too. So don't feel you are a failure if you have put on a few pounds. And if you want to change your shape, starting off a new regime in midwinter is not easy. If you are in Australia, no excuses, I know it is your summer! For the rest of us, a better time to transform your life is the spring when the days start getting longer, the sap is rising and the buds are bursting etc. It's much easier then to be energetic about change.
  • Successful Weight Loss - The 39 Steps - Altough I read The Thirty-Nine Steps when I was younger, I much preferred the movie version. Hitchcock writes a good introduction to his suspense-building technique - calamity follows adventure with a series of unlikely escapes. Being handcuffed to a villain would be inconvenient but the heroine must have used up a few extra calories trying to keep up with her companion. With all the helter-skelter action in the movie it would be like being attached to a hyperactive toddler all day, rushing everywhere and never resting. Imagine having the activity level of the most active person you know. How many more calories a day would you use?
  • Weight Loss Tips: Let Your Goals Shine Brightly! - Anyone who had done weight loss knows that to lose weight you need to set a goal. Or two. Or several if you have a lot of weight to lose.
  • How to overcome emotional eating while on your Gastric Band journey! - Emotional eating is the practice of consuming large quantities of food - usually "comfort" or junk foods - in response to feelings instead of hunger.

We all have times where celebrations revolve around food; think of all the occasions we've had that involved eating over the course of our lives. Emotional eating can become problematic though if we don't recognise it and address how it may be affecting our lives.

  • How To Dare Eating An Orange In The Shower - In 1999 I was living in a shared house in Oslo, and there was a couple there who introduced me to a new concept. One day, I found orange peel in the shower. I asked my house mates about it - I didn't really enjoy picking up orange peels after other people (especially in the shower). Why ... WHY? was there orange peel in our common shower? They went all weird. The guy looked down. The girl looked away. I got very curious. And then the girl said, in a husky sort of voice: Have you ever tried eating an orange in the shower?
  • "The dog ate my homework" won't help you lose weight - One of my children (who shall be nameless to protect the guilty) has tried everything to get out of handing in homework. Actually, they've all gone through that phase, so much for my brilliant parenting. And as a lecturer I know that I've heard all the excuses before! Over the past few weeks I have heard all sorts of excuses from my clients: I was celebrating and it had to be chocolate. It snowed and I couldn't exercise (some allowance here - the weather has been weird. But when the snow went, what did you do then?

  • Weight Loss Tips - Diet Difficulties, Excuses, and How To Tackle Them - You can find all sorts of creative reasons to overeat, but really they're nothing more than excuses!

  • Healthy Eating - Why Barack Obama is Like A Scone - The US presidential election has, after what seems like forever, finally taken place, and what a year it's been. I'm steering clear of political analysis but one thing that strikes me is that Barack Obama is like a scone. Before I explain that, think about what has been going on here. Any election is about making a choice - in this case McCain or Obama, which does nothing to reflect the subtlety and richness of human experience, or how we would want that reflected in the electoral process and the choices we can make.
