Eating Disorder – Shouting Out Silently

Diseases, Conditions and Treatments No Comments »

Anyone who suffers from an eating disorder is focusing their attention on food, weight and the eating side of things. If it is anorexia, the process of starving; bulimia the binging and the vomiting; binge eating, those uncontrollable sessions.
They all appear to revolve around food and eating, but this is a front. All eating disorders manifest themselves through the subjects relationship with food, but, and this is an important but, the food side of things is a symptom of a deeply unsettling emotional problem.
The relationship with food takes on a life on its own, but in reality this is a silent shout for help.
One of the more difficult aspects of treatment is that a love-hate relationships takes place with food. In other types of addiction one of the steps that has to be taken is to break away from the substance. In eating disorders the relationship with food has to reach a balance but never break away from it. And this makes it a very difficult process.
In the final analysis the treatment has to include the emotional, the physical and the psychological sides of the person.
And the goal, a full remission where all three, not just the food angle, recover their natural balance.

Can You Lose Arm Flab With Your Thoughts?

Eating Disorders No Comments »

For the most part, diet and exercise are not what holds women back from reaching their “lose arm flab” goal. The truth is that diet and exercise are actually the least important aspects of reaching sexy arm stardom!

There is so much free information out there that most women know how to eat and exercise in a relatively healthy way.

But most women do NOT know how to stick to said programs for the long haul. Why? Because their thought processes haven’t been optimized.

I struggled with up and down motivation for a very long time when trying to lose arm flab. So called self help books and motivational speakers only provided temporary motivation that would always end up fading away.

What was my saving grace? The one and only David Burns M.D. He wrote an excellent book which provided easy to use methods for optimizing thought processes. Central to his method, was the identification of major thought distortions.

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

1. Pressure phrases. Unfortunately, the “pain is weakness leaving the body” culture we live in has perpetuated the existence of pressure phrases. Never tell yourself you “should, must or oughta” go workout. Doing so will make you feel pressured and apathetic. Over the long run, these types of phrases will murder your motivation.

2. Labeling statements. If you ever find yourself attaching a label to a hiccup on your part, stop immediately. Labels (i.e., loser, worthless, slob, sloth) create the illusion that there is an internal problem with you that can be fixed. Instead of using labels, describe the situation that led to the hiccup so that you can avoid it in the future.

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.

Learning how to lose arm flab isn’t just about finding the right diet or exercise program. It’s also about finding the right mental program. And with the above thought distortions in mind, your mental game will be as solid as a rock. Good luck!

When people think about eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia, or overeating, they think about the basics.
