Ideas For Overcoming Binge Eating

By Trevor Johnson

Overcoming binge eating is far more difficult that most people would believe. In fact, binge eating is a serious disorder, and yet people often do not consider it so, or overlook it due to the shame they feel.

Binge eating can be done in a number of different ways and its important to know whether you fall into one of the categories as this is the first step to taking on the problem. If you find that you eat so much until you feel full and physically sick, or else you eat large amounts of food when you are not actually hungry then you may have a problem. Equally, if you find that you are eating along and feel depressed and guilty after eating then you should seek help.

Binge eating or comfort eating is often marked by distress and will occur at least two days a week for at months and months, perhaps more. This can lead to serious physical problems and massive weight gain which in turn can cause heart problem. It is important to get to the bottom of why you feel so depressed and guilty.

It is often a serious problem because people get into a vicious cycle whereby they feel depressed and so turn to food to comfort them and then they begin to feel even worse due to what they are doing. Food becomes their drug and an addiction sets in which causes weight gain, again leading to a lowering of confidence and self esteem which continued to affect your mental state of mind.

Yo overcome it you need to take things one day at a time and to get down to the roots of the problem. Often sufferers associate the idea of failing diets as being worse that their current problems and so never stick with it. However, find the right diet and the right support is fundamental if one is to move on from the condition.

Look to support groups for people who have had similar experiences as you and maybe take some counselling in order to get to the bottom of why you are depressed and why you feel you need to eat. Look also to your family and friends for support and aid when you are feeling low. - 32369

Can You Lose Arm Flab With Your Thoughts?

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

When trying to lose arm flab, exercise and nutrition are only part of the equation. In fact, they aren't even the most important parts of the equation.

Generally speaking, most women know how to follow a sensible diet and exercise program. In this day and age we are flooded with fitness information on a daily basis.

So, the top factor that hold women back from reaching their sexy arm goal, is a poor mental strategy.

This fluctuating motivation undermined my progress for a very long time. I used to read a lot of motivational books and listened to a lot of motivational speakers. I found, however, that these sources only provided temporary motivation that would always end up fading.

My cure? Dr. David Burns. He created an outstanding method based on cognitive therapy that virtually anybody can use to change their thought processes indefinitely. After learning and applying his method, I was able to maintain high levels of motivation for very long periods of time.

And here are 3 of the said distortions that you should eliminate immediately from your internal dialogue if you want everlasting motivation:

1. Coercive statements. The "no pain no gain" attitude that pervades our culture has kept this type of cognitive distortion alive and kicking. If you find yourself saying, "I should exercise today" or "I must exercise today", stop immediately. Should and must are coercive words that will make you feel pressured and will eventually kill your desire to keep moving forward.

2. Label statements. If you mess up with your diet one day and call yourself a "loser" or a "failure", you are well on your way to motivational breakdown. The issue here is that abstract labels imply that there is something internally wrong with you. For example, how do you fix a loser or a failure? You can't because these terms are immovable and set in stone.

3. Minimization phrases. These types of phrases can turn men into mice. Why? Because when you minimize you view yourself as being much less capable than you actually are. Never doubt your ability to reach a goal until you have actually tried.

Figuring out the right mental game when trying to lose arm flab can be very hard if you are using standard self help techniques. Avoiding the above distortions will bring you many steps closer to long term motivation. - 32369

How To Get Thin Arms-The Psychology Of Long Term Motivation

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

Figuring out how to get thin arms will not happen overnight. While there are certain approaches that are more effective than others, you will still have to put forth some degree of effort over a period of time.

And this is where most women fail.

How many times have you seen someone start a fitness program only to end it weeks later? You see, starting something is very easy, but actually finishing it is much harder. Why? Because motivation cannot be bottled.

So here are some tips to keep you on track to get thin arms:

1. Train your mind every day. The most successful entrepreneurs do it, so why aren't you? Many women decide to read the self-help book or seek advice once they feel bad. But this is like expecting to get in shape by simply working out really hard for one day. Your mind needs consistent motivational exercise to stay on track.

2. Don't become reliant on superficial strategies. Many women simply listen to a motivational speech and expect to have oodles of endless willpower. Most times, however, the aftereffects last days. If you really want to maintain lasting motivation, you have to attack your complex thought processes at the root level.

3. Log it all. Writing down the self defeating thoughts as they sprout up in your head is one of the best things you can do. You see, trying to sort it all out in your head is like trying to kill a giant swarm of flies all at once. Once written down, you can relax and deconstruct the thoughts at some later point.

4. Do a reality check. Most times, you will greatly overestimate how hard something is. The best way to keep this effect in check, is to log perceived levels of effort and actual levels of effort. Before doing a task write down how hard you think it will be. Then, once completed write down how hard it actually was.

Now even if you follow all of the advice in this article, you are still going to face setbacks. This happens to everyone. The main difference between women that get thin arms and those that don't, is how fast they bounce back. So never get discouraged if you fall off of the bandwagon, simply get right back on! - 32369

How To Get Thin Arms With Motivation

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

Figuring out how to get thin arms will not happen overnight. While there are certain approaches that are more effective than others, you will still have to put forth some degree of effort over a period of time.

Most women, however, are not able to stay on track for the long haul.

You see, it's easy to start working towards a goal with oodles of motivation, but as time goes by that motivation begins to fade. Eventually, some women simply abandon their thin arm goal altogether.

Therefore, here are some tips to stay motivated in the long haul when learning how to get thin arms:

1. Exercise your motivation muscle daily. Some women like to meditate, some like to use affirmations, and some like to write down their positive thoughts. Regardless of the approach, the key is to have a daily routine of mental strengthening. Just as you should be eating clean and exercising on a regular basis.

2. Don't become reliant on superficial strategies. Many women simply listen to a motivational speech and expect to have oodles of endless willpower. Most times, however, the aftereffects last days. If you really want to maintain lasting motivation, you have to attack your complex thought processes at the root level.

3. Keep a log. There will come a point when negative thoughts begin to pop up into your head when learning how to get thin arms. There is no way around this. The best approach here is to keep a log of them. Then you can dissect them later on.

4. Do a before and after for activities. 99.99% of the time you will overestimate how hard something is whether it be preparing a healthy meal or exercising in the gym. One solution here is to write down how hard you think something will be and then write down how hard it actually was. You will be surprised by the results.

Unfortunately, no matter how well you are at motivating yourself, you will fail. The key here is to get right back up as soon as possible. In other words, speed of resiliency is the name of the game. The most successful women that figure out how to get thin arms have the fastest speeds of resiliency. - 32369

The Flabby Arms Will Go Away If You Ditch The Sugar

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

Some people believe that sugar addictions are not real. However, recent research has shown that sugar has drug-like effects on the brain. And anything drug-like is probably not good for your flabby arm mission.

Even worse, sugars elevates insulin which is a hormone that regulates arm fat loss. So if you have high levels of insulin, the flabby arms will never go away no matter what you do.

Hence, it is imperative that you win the war on sugar to finally get slim and sexy arms that are no longer flabby.

Here are some tips on how to do it:

1. Get ready for the shock. Just knowing that your body will crave sugar once you transition away from it gives you an edge. Mentally prepare for the urges and you will have a better chance of winning.

2. Stabilize levels of blood sugar. Once levels of blood sugar plummet, your body will send you on a sugar scavenging hunt. After a certain point, it will be nearly impossible to resist the cravings. So never let yourself go hungry if you want to get rid of those flabby arms.

3. Trick your nervous system. Your nervous system can only take in so much information at once. If you overload it with information, your sugar cravings will get blocked out. I recommend activities that require a lot of attention.

4. Have some artificial sugar. Chemistry can often give us very useful tools. In this case, artificial sweeteners can really help you beat a sugar addiction. You get all the flavor without any calories or insulin spikes. Just be careful, though, because the science is unclear about whether sweeteners are safe.

5. Have loose leaf teas. Yerba mate is your best bet here. This tea is so powerful that it can knock out your cravings for an entire day. The only catch here is that you may have some trouble sleeping. Make sure you have the loose leaf version.

I will be honest, overcoming a sugar addiction is not easy by any stretch of the imagination. But if you really want to get rid of flabby arms, it behooves you to attack this problem head on. Once you overcome the addiction, getting toned arm will be that much easier. - 32369

The Ugly Truth about Teen Obesity and What You Can Do To Stop It

By Dorthy Weatherbush

Take a quick look around and you'll observe the costly obesity crisis that is slowly overtaking our nation. How bad has it become you may say? Consider the idea that we are now seeing individuals parking in handicap parking spots to avoid having to park just a few extra feet away from a building.

For some people, this is tied to genetics - there are several genetic triggers that, when we lived hand to mouth as a species, were survival traits. Being able to store fat in prosperous times was an insurance of survival in the winter. Also in that calculus lies the fact that we have, as a population, become more sedentary as technology has progressed.

This becomes even clearer when we witness the growing problem of children with obesity. Nutrition counselors agree that for every 3 to 5 pounds a child is over their normal weight level before they reach puberty, that child will become on average 15 to 30 pounds before they reach the age of thirty. To add to this, Type II diabetes is now become one of the fastest growing diseases among teens.

At the ages of 12 - 16 is when most young girls and boys are self conscious about their bodies. Even "normal looking" kids get teased. If we allow our children to continue down a slippery slope toward obesity, we are setting them up for a very difficult childhood. Parents must be told that healthy eating habits and not Slimfast diet shakes or Medifast meals are the key to weight loss and a nutritious lifestyle.

Fortunately, this can be prevented. And it can be prevented easily and early on, and the solution is surprisingly retro:

Look back at your younger days and remember what you did as a kid before the electronic babysitters came on the scene. If you recall this time in your life, you will more than likely remember going to the park with friends, playing kick ball or soccer.

If you felt tired or felt dehydrated, you immediately reached for a glass of water or milk. Sweets were a treat for good behavior rather than your main course. Snacks did not come prepackaged but rather apples, oranges and bananas were your choice.

This same attitude can be instilled in your kids, but you have to be strict about it. Keep your kids on the smallest amount of soda you can. If you do give your kids soda, give them diet soda, or a mixture of diet and regular; the key here is that you don't want to give them a sugar addiction early on. Humans are evolved to prefer sweet as a flavor, and the amount of sugar in a can of non diet soda has increased 30% since 1970.

As for snacks, limit their intake of high sugar and high fattening foods and increase their consumption of fruits and vegetables. This may not be as hard as you think. Consider this, if you kids are not of driving age and do not have a job, the only reason they are eating the way they are is because you as the parent purchase the unhealthy food in your kitchen. Trust me, if you don't buy it, they will immediately decrease their over consumption. Oh yeah, they'll complain however it is up to you to be the parent.

When it comes to leisure activities, encourage your kids to play sports - soccer, baseball, softball. Not all kids will have an aptitude for them, and some aren't ready to socialize in large groups when the rest of their age cohort is. For those kids, make time out every week to go on a hike for a mile or two. If you get in the habit of walking for a mile as a family every day after dinner, everyone will be healthier, and you'll be staving off the perils of the obesity epidemic.

Start early with your children. Sit down with them and honestly and directly explain why living a healthy lifestyle is important. If you are reading this today, you are the future of your family. An always remember, nothing tastes as good as being healthy feels. - 32369
