A weight problem often represents more than a matter of eating too much or exercising too little. Many overweight people find they use food as a tool to help them through anger, Boredom, insecurity, loneliness, exhaustion, stress, or frustration. Emotional eating is an understandable phenomenon. After all food is our original source of nurturing in life. In most cultures, it symbolizes comfort, love, and togetherness. An emotional connection to food is our legacy.

But using food as substitute for other needs can have several serious adverse effects. First, it can take your attention off the real problem and prevent you from taking steps to right the situation. Second, it may escalate until you`re eating patterns are out of control and you cause yourself permanent physical or emotional damage. Third it is very likely to interfere with your weight-loss efforts.

The following questions are designed to help make you aware of the connection between your emotions and your eating habits.

Do you find it difficult to stop eating, even when your stomach is full?

Do you find yourself binging?

Do you often overeat before a big event you are anxious about?

Do you eat when you are bored?

Does stress at home or at work send you to the refrigerator?

Do you often eat when you are not hungry?

Do you fantasize about food?

Do you spend much of your time focused on your weight problem?

Does eating make you feel guilty?

Do you overeat mostly when you are alone?

If you answer “yes” to more than a few of the above questions, you are probably an emotional eater. There is a good probability you eat in response to feelings of stress, loneliness, frustration, worry, or anger. Instead of dealing with your problems directly, you “stuff” them down with food. You may also spend an inordinate amount of time focused on food and weight. This may serve as another distraction, designed by your subconscious to take your attention away from what is really bothering you.

The following list of suggestions may help you begin to get familiar with your own patterns of emotional eating and put food back in its rightful place in your life. However if your problem is severe or persistent, consider getting professional help.

Look for patterns, such as frequent night eating during periods of stress or while your spouse is away on a business trip. Try to figure out and write down the most common emotional reasons for your eating.

Check your emotional state before you eat. Right before you take the first bite of a meal or snack, ask yourself how you feel. Rate your hunger on a scale from one to 10. Are you really hungry? If not, try to determine whether you are confusing emotion with hunger.

When you catch yourself about eat for emotional reasons, commit yourself to postpone eating for about 20 minutes. Use this time to try and find a better way to get your emotional needs met. Are you tired? If so, perhaps you can take a nap or set aside a few minutes for relaxation. Are you under a lot of stress? If so a short walk or a talk with a supportive friend might help. Are you bored? If so, perhaps you can amuse yourself in a different way, such as by writing a letter or reading a book.

Emotional eating can keep your weight at a higher level than you had like. It can also keep you from effectively dealing with your problems. However, when eating behaviors swing wildly out of control, they may cross the line into what is known as an eating disorder.

Eating disorders can influence more than your weight. They may cause health problems ranging from amenorrhea to electrolyte imbalances to tooth decay. Sometime they are even fatal.

There are three widely recognized type of eating disorders: anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating.

Anorexia nervosa is characterized by chronic under eating to the point that body weight is reduced to an unhealthily low level.

Bulimia nervosa is usually defined as a pattern of intermittent binges followed by purges. ( self induced vomiting, laxative and diuretic abuse,  or excessive exercising).

Binge eating is similar to bulimia nervosa, but without the purging.

While these three eating disorders are differentiated by their symptoms, their roots are the same. All stem from:

an excessive preoccupation with weight and shape

an obsessive drive for thinness

a need to sublimate feelings and problems by focusing on food and weight

if you see yourself as fitting any of these descriptions, you would be wise to seek professional help from a therapist or physician. Thousands of people have recovered from eating disorders, and so can you. On the other hand, left untreated, eating disorders can be fatal.

The following two organizations may be able to help you find your way:

International association of eating disorders professionals. This organization can refer you to a qualified therapist in your area.

Over eaters anonymous: This self supporting organization offers a 12-step program based on the principles of alcoholics Anonymous. There are meetings all over the world for persons with any type of eating disorder. There are no membership fees or dues to pay.

Researchers in the area of fitness and weight loss have found that keeping a daily food and exercise diary can help individuals lose weight. It seems the diary helps dieters stay focused on their goals, plan meals and exercise activities, and reflect on their eating behaviors. A written record of how you stick to or deviate from your goals can be a powerful tool in behaviors change.

It is equally important that you monitor your progress in other areas besides your weight. You should reward yourself not only for improvements in eating habits but for improvements in thinking habits. You should monitor not only inches you have lost, but negative feelings about yourself you have lost, too. Good luck for all!

Well, you actually don’t. An average person has flatulence between eight and ten times a day. This is perfectly normal, but sometimes it can be a real problem for someone that has excessive flatulence.

Not only that you feel like a balloon you also have to be embarrassed by it. The solution is simple : stop eating junk food, stop getting all sort of chemicals in your organism.
If you suffer from excessive gas then you probably should have a colon cleanse that will help improve your digestive system and will make you feel a lot better.
Plus this kind of treatment is a detoxification one too. This means that it will help your body to get rid of any bad toxins that were damaging you.

After doing so you must start on a diet that consists only of fruits and vegetables, very small quantities of meat, at least for one moth, no eggs and some fresh milk, no cheese or yogurt.
The digestive bacteria that you have eliminated from your body can be brought back to life by ingesting special pills that were prescribed to you by your doctor.
After the detoxification, and once your diet is off, you can start eating regular food ( not junk food).
If flatulence persists than you should get a second opinion from another doctor and get some other cheeks, because flatulence can be a cause of eating bad food but can also bear symptom for some deceases like a bad liver or colon obstruction.

Another way to get rid of gas ( actually to reduce the flatulence number) is to drink for two days water with special mineral components. This can be made if you can resist with no food for two days and if you can drink 2 liters of water. Plus, you have to make torso exercise. This is a type of colon cleanse made in a different way than the enema.
This is told to eliminate all the bad toxins in your body and reinforce your immune system.
This means that your body will be in a better shape and you will have a better resistance to deceases.
Do not forget to consult a doctor before starting this diet of detoxification. This way you can be sure that you are not exposing yourself to the danger of anemia.
