If you’ve read The Median Sib recently, you probably already know that I started a diet last week, but I have deifnitely not been happy with the progress so far. So I’ve been looking for other resources to help me lose weight. When I read that 95 per cent of people who lose weight end up gaining it all back - plus at least a few pounds more - I feel discouraged. It sounds so simple: Just eat less. Research has shown that emotional eating is the greatest cause of regaining lost weight, and that makes sense to me. Why else would someone eat something that wasn’t good for them. There are reasons besides hunger.
Today I was looking at www.ShrinkYourself.com - an online weight loss resource - which stresses that it is more important to look at WHY you eat instead of WHAT you eat. They offer a free emotional eating profile - which I immediately took. The results were not only insightful but helpful. It clarified some of the reasoning behind my emotional eating. I will look into it further.
