Before you deal with emotional eating...

I find a lot of articles and blogs giving advice on how to end emotional eating. They make it sound so easy with recycled advice from the fad diet era.

Actually, as I've covered in a few recent posts, you get no where if you're infected with candida. Food addictions and food allergies don't give you much of a choice either.

To get rid of candida it can only be done by going on a specific diet--just google candida or use the one in my e-book. Also take acidophilus or probiotics. It can take months for life to return to normal. There are no short cuts and if you go back to eating sugar before your body is completely cleansed of the yeast, the candida will return full force very quickly.

Addictions and food allergies: You're often allergic to what you are addicted to. I was addicted to peanuts and potato chips. Once I had one chip or one peanut, it was an endless binge until my supply was exhausted. I made an agreement with myself that I could eat as many chips and peanuts I wanted, but instead of sitting in a comfortable chair watching TV, it would be in the unfinished basement standing next to the furnace.

Yes, I ate quite a few peanuts and chips there and then got bored with it and now I can't remember the last time I did that. Years later I can now have just one handful of peanuts or chips and am free of subsequent binging.

I was also addicted to Dunkin Doughnuts--the shop was right across the street from my office.
I made an agreement that I'd stop eating doughnuts for six months. When I was tempted to have one, I'd remind myself that I still had five months, three weeks and six days to go.

After a few weeks I forgot about doughnuts. Then I had one after about three months and ended up eating four more. I got depressed and realized, "Well I dropped five pounds and if I did it before, I could do it again and I renewed my agreement to stop eating doughnuts.

I went on to drop twenty pounds. Of course knowing how to deal with emotions also helped me stick to the agreement.

Emotional Eating and Candida

My last post was about candida. I reported on a young lady who became infected with candida which is an overgrowth of fungus in the gut. The amazing thing is that antibiotics kill off good bacteria and don't touch the candidia.

Anyway from her comment, I learned that she did indeed gain quite a bit of weight which doesn't surprise me. What this means is that conditions such as candidia, food allergies and addictions which I've written about before, must be identified before one even deals with emotional eating.

As I've said a hundred times, excess eating and weight are merely a symptom--not the problem. They are the symptom of candidia, food allergies and food addictions, a thinking problem, and emotions.

Even though many doctors are totally ignorant about candida in the gut, the good news is that it's easy to identify candidia, food allergies and food addictions. Just google candida or candidia albicans and you'll get a dozen sites giving you the symptoms and the diet to correct it along with suggested supplements such as probiotics.

The complication is that if you've had candidia, food allergies or food addictions for a long time, then your brain has learned to use food for emotional support as well which means that you also want to learn how to handle emotions.

Emotional Eating and Candida

Met this very young attractive lady, Kathleen, at a networking event yesterday. I don't know whether she's an emotional eater or not as she certainly didn't look one pound over weight. But, apparently what she looked like a year or so ago was completely different--not that she was overweight, but she was really sick.

Really sick from something that affects millions of us and many doctors are totally ignorant about it. In fact most doctors won't even (certainly her doctor didn't) acknowledge its existence. In fact the way her doctors treated her condition only made it worse. So bad that she's lucky to be alive.

I'm writing about is since I also suffered from the same condition but was lucky enough to find healthy advice and didn't depend on doctors. And I also know that a significant number of those who are overweight also have the condition. For most people the condition doesn't advance to the degree it did for Kathleen. But it does keep you from losing weight.

The condition is candida and this is part of what she says about her night mare with it, "My case was very serious. That's because my doctor had me on antibiotics nightly for years for treatment of my pelvic kidney. I cannot possibly relay the depth of my pain and suffering to you, but I am telling my story to help others from such a fate. One of the many horrors of the experience for me, and others who suffer from this condition, were the unrelenting negative thoughts that pounded in my head constantly, and I couldn't get them to stop. I had always been a positive person, and this new condition was shocking. I would pray at night for God to take my soul. The yeast toxins inflamed my brain tissue, and everything went out of whack, beyond your imagination. It looks like mental illness. It happened so suddenly that my doctors first thought it was a buried childhood trauma which had suddenly awakened. Much later I was diagnosed with depression (which didn't seem to capture my experience or seem to fit), and then a year later, bipolar disorder. My mood constantly shifted, and I cried a lot, with panic attacks seemingly coming out of nowhere. I was so angry I could feel it coming out of my pores. I couldn't leave my house for about the first 6 months. I was nearly incapacitated. My boyfriend cooked all of my meals for me, and coached me through all of my fears and challenges that I was experiencing, minute by minute. I didn't feel like me anymore. I am thinking now of the pain, and sigh in relief that it is finally over."

I encourage you to read her full story and learn a lot more about this condition by going to her website.
