It's no secret that poor eating can lead to obesity, adult onset diabetes and heart disease. Why then is it so difficult to get a handle on eating issues? Dissecting disorderly eating needs good detective work. Time after time, my research in weight and addictions management uncovers a multi-faceted problem, including an interesting form of denial that is connected to a positive force.

Meet Lynn-Ellen, a high profile television writer, who attended one of my workshops. Her food and beverage intake assessment made it easy to know why she was overweight and I was surprised that she didn't seem to know this.

When I suggested some changes she became incredibly angry and went into a tirade about how stress-filled her days were and if this were the way, she certainly would have done it by now. Lynn -Ellen is an emotional eater and will need a very different approach in order to be successful at losing weight and staying away from diabetes.

For the emotional eater, the idea of changing one's eating habits can be very frightening and even simple changes can be met with procrastination devices. The level of creativity and emotional states enlisted to protect the self from even beginning to change can be quite something to observe.

Food-related thoughts play out in the VCR of the mind throughout the day and especially when stress is high or when involved in triggering situations such as shopping, restaurants, social occasions and the workplace. Certain emotions have higher trigger value than others depending on the individual.

Some emotional eaters trigger when home alone or in the middle of the night, even keeping food hidden under the bed to avoid bringing attention to a cupboard raid. Others eat in cars, hiding wrappings under the seat until they can dispose of them safely. Some binge going home from work, a good time to release work stress before entering home-based stress.

Compulsions can be intensely draining, attacking the emotional eater with real physical and/or emotional pain. How does one begin to take control of such a complex situation and stay motivated long enough to build new habits?

In my experience, I like to take the emotional eater into a nutritional self-discipline and work forward from there. It helps to know that practicing poor nutrition is not a small thing. It's akin to digging a big dangerous hole while teetering on the edge. For most of us, there is no time to waste. The following steps are etched into the mind and traced over and over again.
