Do You Eat When You\u2019re Stressed, Worried, or Bored?<\/h2>\n

Do you often wish you had more “willpower” when it comes food?<\/p>\n

Food can be soothing…<\/p>\n

When you’re feeling lonely, misunderstood, or unloved you just want to feel better. Anxiety, depression, sadness or low self-esteem can easily  suck you into a downward spiral.\"North<\/p>\n

This can leave you  feeling powerless and empty with just one thought on your mind…how can I make this go away… how can I get off this hamster wheel\u2026 so you turn to food.<\/p>\n

But emotional eating is a double-edged sword. On one hand  eating makes you feel better\u2026 but only for a little while\u2026<\/p>\n

Because it doesn\u2019t take long and you start beating yourself up. Soon your mind is racing with criticism:<\/strong><\/p>\n

What\u2019s wrong with me?\u201d \u201cI\u2019m such a failure!\u201d \u201cI\u2019m always going to be \u201cfat.\u201d \u201cI just want to hide!\u201d<\/p>\n

The “good feelings” that you experienced while self soothing with food end up being replaced with  feeling guilty, ashamed or hopeless.<\/p>\n

Beverly\u2019s Healing Journey: Overcoming Depression and an Emotional Eating Disorder<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

I came to Ina for healing because I was very depressed and felt totally out of control of my eating habits.  She has been a real lifesaver.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When I first came to Ina for counselling I could barely get myself out of bed and to work each day. <\/strong>In fact I was calling in sick more and more often.  I was really scared that I would ruin my whole career because of feeling so depressed. <\/strong>I also had been slowly gaining weight and feeling less and less attractive, less and less worthwhile. The worse I felt, the more junk food I craved\u2026 it was a vicious cycle. With Ina\u2019s guidance I was able to understand that my depression was actually linked to emotional eating.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ina helped me understand how feeling bad about myself and being depressed was connected to the emptiness I always felt in my belly. Under her guidance, I discovered that I wasn\u2019t craving food but to be loved and appreciated.<\/strong> My hunger was about self-love and self-esteem.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

As I started to open up and share my fears and anxieties with Ina, I noticed my depression was lessening.  Being able to really trust someone is so important to me and Ina has a special way of helping me feel safe, supported and never judged.<\/p>\n

Ina has counselled me for over a year now and I am no longer feeling depressed. <\/strong>With my growing awareness of my emotional eating issues I\u2019ve started to look at food differently and have finally lost some weight.  Sometimes I \u2018fall off the wagon\u2019 but now I can usually recognize what I\u2019m feeling by what is actually going on in my body. I can stop myself from bingeing.  I\u2019m grateful to Ina for her wisdom and support.  Finally I\u2019m starting to feel in control of my life again.

It\u2019s easy to get trapped into thinking that you could be happy if only you were slim and had control over your relationship with food.<\/p>\n

The \u201cdilemma\u201d with food addiction is, you\u2019re a human being\u2026 you have to eat to survive. Furthermore, there are temptations and invitations to eat seemingly everywhere\u2026 especially when you are trying not to\u2026<\/p>\n

Before you know it, dieting, obsessing, weighing, bingeing and overeating become a way of  life.<\/strong> You get locked into an uncontrollable cycle.<\/p>\n

So\u2026 how can you escape the clutches of the diet mindset and be free from disordered eating? How can you bring peace into your relationship with food and your body?<\/p>\n

You already know that diets don\u2019t work\u2026<\/strong>.usually there\u2019s no permanent weight loss or help with how to cope when you\u2019re feeling overwhelmed and hopeless.<\/p>\n

Do you want to stop bingeing and emotional eating?<\/h3>\n
