or company or happiness - we try to use food to serve the purpose of stuffing, numbing or distracting. And yes, it may appear to work temporarily, but what it’s really doing is creat- ing more of the very emotions we’re trying not to feel, and in- creasing the size of the old emotional reservoir that we need to hold at bay. It’s a vicious cycle that causes us to eat far beyond our bodies’ needs for fuel. If you think about food as fuel for your body like gasoline for your car – if your car has engine trouble you’re not going to open the hood and douse the engine with gas, nor will you stop at the gas station when your tank is still three-quarters full, or fill it beyond capacity. We wouldn’t consider doing any of that with the vehicle we drive but we do it all the time to the vehicle we live in.
Crucial Component Number 5: Positive Suggestions Whether you realize it or not, you’re in constant dialog
with yourself. And everything you say to yourself, (you know those not so nice words that you put at the end of “I am”), are literally suggestions, or marching orders, that you’re giving to your subconscious mind. Suggestions your subconscious mind is taking literally and acting upon. You’ll be amazed at what you hear when you start listening. I challenge you to write out your self-talk as you become aware of it, and when you look at it in black and white you’ll realize that it’s not pretty. In fact, they are most likely things that you’d never dream of saying to anyone else.
Self-talk is so important because what we say to our-
selves at the conscious level our subconscious mind takes literally. It becomes our self-instruction and very often we’re giving our mind the wrong instructions. Let’s take the word “need”. How many times have you said to yourself, “I need this chocolate? I need this drink, this dessert, this bread, this pasta, this ________.” When in essence you don’t need it – you just want it. If you tell yourself you need something over and over again you begin to believe it’s true. Then the con- nection or draw towards that food will get stronger instead of weaker, which make it harder to make healthy choices. At those moments try being honest with yourself. “I want this because I feel I deserve a reward.” “I want this because I’m bored or lonely.” Or whatever the truth is in that moment. That honesty will help you understand how you’re using food and will allow you to find other, healthier things to address your emotional need.
