Weight Loss For Women And The Birthday Cake Syndrome
Weight loss for women is a challenge when it comes to emotional eating
. You're following a healthy diet plan and then out of the blue, something happens.
Maybe the boss yelled at you, your car stalled or the kids are complaining. All your good eating plans come crashing to a halt. Does this sound familiar?
The top three reasons women get the urge to cave in to their cravings are:
* Financial Distress * Work Related Stress * Relationship Challenges
Right at that exact moment, food can seem to be comforting...almost like a friend who understands and sympathizes with you. Later on, it's a different story. You may end up kicking yourself for caving in.
Why does this happen?
Reaching for food during peak emotions is pure habit. You likely learned it by watching your mother. Do you notice that it's also a common theme in movies? The girl gets dumped and reaches for ice cream. She always goes for the entire carton of ice cream.
Procrastination is another common reason. We use food as a distraction from thinking about problems. You put something off until after eating. After all, it's important to eat.
Birthday Cake Syndrome
As a child, you likely had a party each year on your birthday. What do they serve at a party? Cake and ice cream. How did you feel at your birthday party? You probably felt great! It was a happy day. All your friends were there and they brought presents just for you. Then what did you do? At the height of the party, when you are feeling really special...they serve cake and ice cream.
Your subconscious mind connects the two.
Ice Cream + Cake = Happiness
Doesn't that make sense? When we reach for something sweet, we are really trying to recreate a happy feeling from childhood.
So how do you gain control of emotional eating?
Use self hypnosis to reprogram your subconscious mind. Consciously, you are aware that you want to lose weight. You even know exactly how to do it. Just eat less, right? Yet, it doesn't always happen that easily.
When you reprogram your mind and change your thinking about food, you'll stop using it to deal with all the stress in your life. Instead, you'll begin to develop the habits of a naturally slender woman.
Though this is something you can do by yourself, some find quicker results with a recorded audio by a skilled hypnosis professional.
1. Write a list of your own personalized affirmations about food, eating and exercise.
2. Keep them with you and read them often throughout the day.
3. Read them aloud if possible.
4. Keep a copy posted on your bathroom mirror, desktop or bedside.
5. Make a recording of your affirmations and listen to it often.
Weight loss for women can be easier than you think.
