Why do you eat to much?

To get you started can you think about these questions

Do you eat when you are bored?

Do you eat when you are unhappy?

Does eating calm you down if you are angry or distressed?

Do you have special treat foods?

welcome and look out for your initial survey

Hi everyone 

Welcome to this exciting new programme. I will be here supporting you along the way.

To start we will be looking at why you eat in the way you do. I will be sending out an initial survey before your first session. Post here with any thoughts or questions. You can use a pseudonym to protect your privacy, but please let me know what it is so I can see how you are doing. This space will be restricted to those on the programme, so you can be sure that there are no spammers or advertisers.

Calm yourself by breathing slowly 
Recognise the situation is temporary    
Be relaxed   
Walk away if necessary

Can anger feel good?

When you get angry all your systems step up a gear. Your heart rate rises your temperature goes up. Your whole body is preparing you to FIGHT  or RUN.

This can feel exciting.  You may get a surge of energy which makes you feel more alive and this can be accompanied by a feeling of power. 

The problem is you may then start shouting and even want to hit someone. And that is regarded as unacceptable.

So what do we do?

Dealing with anger

Just lately I have seen a number of people who are having problems controlling feelings of anger and frustration. I am putting together a structured programme to help here. So I thought I would post here how this goes.

Starting with an explanation of the physical effects of anger. These can be frightening to people and if they understand what is going on they feel more in control.

Specific

So let’s go through these one at a time. Are your goals specific enough? Think about this – do you want to lose weight – fine how much? Know how much you want to lose and visualise what that will look like. Spend some time on this. Perhaps find a picture of someone the same height and shape as you at your desired weight. Does that make your goal clearer?
