You may have heard about Cortisol, the hormone that is associated with the fight or flight response to stress. There are several weight management products that are specifically designed to deal with belly fat caused by Cortisol.
This video talks about a medical condition that causes obesity in some people, even when they have never had a weight problem in the past.
No matter the reason for those extra pounds, if you are an emotional eater or a food addict, the odds are that you are overweight.
No matter what the root cause of your emotional eating binges might be, you are probably more concerned with losing the weight than getting to the source of the problem.
We hear every day how “diets don’t work” but what does that really mean? Fad diets are just that–fads. They come and they go. We lose interest in the food or tire of the monotony, and just give up–until the next miracle diet comes along.
Changing your eating patterns radically for short periods of time can undermine your health, even when your intentions are good. And even if you drop a couple of pounds, if you don’t feel good, then what’s the point?
Most people who have found success with a weight loss program say the same thing: “I’m the healthiest I’ve ever been in my life”. That should tell you something.
At various times in my life, I have had success with weight loss products and programs, as well as energizing supplements and foods that helped me achieve my weight management goals.
Some of these products are listed in the column on the right and, yes, I receive a small commission when someone buys them from my website. This doesn’t bother me because I know they work.
You shouldn’t have to change your life for any diet. A weight management program, and that includes any diet, should fit into your life in a way that promotes your good health.
The real challenge isn’t losing the weight. It’s finding a weight loss and management program that works for you. It may take a few tries but if you don’t give up, you will be successful. You will lose the weight.
Make it a goal to find something that works for you in the long run. Our bodies change so an eating plan that worked in the past may not have the same results now.
Don’t be afraid to try something new, but make sure you do your research. After all, no one knows your body like you do.

I have begun to notice more often now how the habits of parents with food addictions and emotional eating problems pass their eating habits along to their children.
It isn’t just the number of obese children and the diseases like diabetes and other serious illnesses that should concern us.
Life can be so much more interesting, adventurous and just plain fun when we are healthy and fit. Here is a video that has important information about childhood obesity. I will be covering this subject often in upcoming blog posts.
Days that are meant to celebrate love can be a big source of stress. Stress is at the root of all food addictions so the Big Love day can be quite a challenge for anyone with a binge eating problem (and no date).
The heart creates certain kinds of emotions. The mind creates other kinds of emotions. Most people don’t go off the deep end with food when they are feeling good about things.
It’s when the heart energy gives way to the mind energy that we feel out of control. When a food addict feels out of control, the response is compulsive eating, or binge eating.
Some tasks that are no big deal for one person can be hell for another. That goes for certain days or holidays, relationships, and experiences. Stress affects everyone in different ways.
While stress can’t be avoided altogether, it is unproductive to place ourselves in harm’s way by entering into stressful activities and relationships that doom us to failure.
Therefore, we must think carefully about how we want to live our lives if we are to be free of the pain and heartache food addiction can cause.
When we thoughtfully consider how best our lives can be lived and resolve to find a way to live in this way, stress will give way to a comfort that food can never equal.
When balance is restored and the heart is once again in control, food will not be an issue any longer. For a person with a food addiction, finding that balance is critical in overcoming the need to eat compulsively whenever we are stressed.
