How can I deal with the feelings that cause me to overeat?

One important step in dealing with feelings that make you overeat is to slow down the action. This can be challenging because addictive patterns make us go into "zombie" mode, distracting us and keeping us from being present in the moment. Set the intention and ask for help from the Wise Witness (our true self) to be present when an eating compulsion strikes.

By setting this intention, you commit to your own healing and plant your feet squarely on recovery road. It's as if you're saying, "I'm ready to move on and transform my dysfunctional relationship with food." After you've set the intention, even if you continue to go unconscious the next 20, 50, or 500 times the impulse to eat comes up, something in you will remember that intention, and eventually you'll be able to interrupt the emotional food-stuffing response.

The more often you can interrupt your usual pattern, the easier it will become. Just as you created the old habit of eating in response to frightening and uncomfortable emotions, you can create a new habit of awareness by slowing down the action and removing yourself from the danger zone -- wherever the food is.

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.
