How can I cope with stress to avoid overeating?

Here's how you can deal with stressful thoughts to help prevent overeating: Notice that a craving is on the scene and get yourself the heck out of the kitchen! If you're angry or feel hurt because someone did something you didn't like, remember a time that you did or said the same sort of thing and forgive that person. It's hard to stay angry at someone when we find the same failing in ourselves.

To keep yourself from stuffing the feeling with food and heal instead, see your own failing, and forgive yourself and the other person. Ask yourself, "What stressful thought am I believing right now?" or "What story am I in?" Wait for the answer.

When the answer comes, ask yourself, "What is noticing this belief?" This is a powerful question because it helps you dis-identify with the thought. Say to yourself, "Oh, thank goodness, it's just a stressful belief -- it's not me.

It couldn't be me because I'm over here, noticing it.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
