  4. Why do our emotions cause us to eat? • Your brain is designed to give you that response (food makes you feel better). • Your brain wants you to eat and must reward you for eating. • Any food can stimulate the brain’s reward system, however some foods give us “more reward”. • These foods tend to be more reinforcing and thus we seek them out more. • Highly rewarding foods are usually high in fat, sugar, and calories, and they provide the “feeling better” sensations that emotional eaters experience.

  5. How can we change this?

  6. “The Difficulty lies not so much in developing New Ideas as in escaping Old Ones.”John Maynard Keynes

  7. Where do we start? It starts with our WHY

  8. STOP CHALLENGE CHOOSE

  9. STOP (Chapter 19 in HOH) Stop before responding. We live in a reactive world. All to often, our first response is to lash out at whatever, whoever has created a situation we find less than ideal.

  10. CHALLENGE Challenge why you feel the way you do. It’s easy to make assumptions or take things personally. By challenging what we’re thinking or feeling, we can disengage the reactive, emotional parts of our brain and engage our logic center.

  11. CHOOSE Choose your ideal outcome. Looking at the long term helps you put what’s happening right now in perspective. Choosing the outcome you really want puts you in control and turns off stress.

  12. Alternative Activities • Listen to music • Read a good book/magazine • Take a bubble bath • Deep breathing/meditation • Journal your feeling • Relaxation techniques • Wash the car • Surf the internet • Yoga • Gardening • Tea in your favorite cup • Walk/Exercise
