Stop Overeating Now – 10 Simple Strategies

Thursday, December 8th, 2011
Do you find yourself struggling to stay on track with your eating and weight loss goals? Give these 10 simple strategies a try: 1. Forgive Yourself  Get off the “I already blew it so I might as well eat everything in the kitchen” mentality. Let go of judgment. Regardless of how much you ate, eating more is not the solution. Put down the food. Walk away, take a deep breath. Tell yourself, “I always do the best I can. I forgive myself and let go.” 2. Eat small meals every 3-5 hours Eating regularly helps prevent low blood sugar or severe drops in your energy level. It also decreases temptation to choose quick, “pick me up” foods and keeps your metabolism revved up. 3. Drink Something or Chew Gum First  Sometimes habitual eaters mistake feelings of hunger for the need to drink something or chew something. If you take a pause to drink or chew gum, it could help save you from unnecessary eating and the resulting fat storage. 4. No More Fad Diets or Starvation! Fad diets and starvation lead to the Deprivation Response which means you want more and more of whatever if is you’re not supposed to have. Take all foods out of jail and allow yourself a wide variety. This will help insure long-term, stress-free success and a healthy, active metabolism. 5. Surrender to Your Cravings from Time to Time No really, you can do it. It’s not reasonable to expect yourself to NEVER eat sweets or fats. Moderation is the key to long-term success. Occasionally check in with yourself and ask, “what do I REALLY want?” Fully enjoy your favorites. Eat slowly, chew throughly, savor the flavor and the freedom of allowing yourself to eat a variety of foods. 6. Focus on Quality, Not Quantity Settle for nothing less than the best when possible. A high-quality, fresh, homemade meal is satisfying on more levels than a frozen meal you heat in the microwave. The increased satisfaction you experience will help curb your tendency to want more, more, more. 7. Slow Down …Come Up for Air Chew slowly, put your utensil down between bites. Swallow completely before taking your next bite. Have a slow contest. . Count to 10. Read something or say the following affirmation between bites: “I love to linger over every bite. I savor the flavor.” 8. Don’t Forget the Rest of Your Physical Needs Some of us use food as a all-in-one cure for exhaustion, sadness, anger, thirst, boredom and more. Your body needs more than food. It also needs sleep (at least 6-8 hours a day) and exercise. Don’t forget to indulge your other senses besides taste such as sight, sound, smell and touch. Look at art or nature, listen to music, light a scented candle or get a massage. Your craving to eat when you’re not hungry may be related to deprivation in other areas of your life. 9. Reclaim Your “Me” Time Is there a hobby you left in the garage? Dust off your tools and dig in the dirt. A little time alone or engaged in your favorite pastime can be so fulfilling that you actually forget about food. It’s almost impossible to engage in hobbies like gardening, crocheting, graphic design, sewing or writing and eat at the same time because your hands are too busy and you wouldn’t want to get dirt on your food or put your greasy fingers all over your project…would you? 10. Stay Away From the Scale The metal monster called the scale has incited many a food frenzy. Be it the celebratory “I lost weight, I’m going to treat myself” or the perfectionistic punishment of “I didn’t lose (or I gained) so what’s the point?” Most of us can rarely remain neutral or objective when it comes to those numbers on the scale. Take your power away from the scale. Throw it out the window or sell it at a garage sale. It’s not your friend!

Simplify Your Life so You Can Hear Yourself Think

Wednesday, November 2nd, 2011
Here's a tip inspired from a deck of cards called "52 Ways to Simplify Your Life" by Lynne Gordon. "In order to hear yourself think, shut off or cut down on the amount of media information you inhale, absorb, and digest...Media overconsumption is a good way to numb yourself to more personal issues. Try a media down day once a week or more and begin to enjoy the local broadcasting from your own brain." I might add, media overconsumption can lock you into the mentality that "I'm too fat", "I'm not good enough" or "I don't fit in" which often fuels depression and anxiety that prompts undesired behavior like overeating or overspending.

See it, Believe it, Make it Real – Part 1

One way to sabotage success is by mentally imagining failure, thereby setting yourself up to fail before you even getting started. For example, some of us “practice” failing a test by telling ourselves, “I’ll never pass that test, I should have studied more.” When we take the test our mind freezes in anxiety and we prove ourselves right. We fail. When we daydream failure, we are engaging in negative self-talk and negative self-imaging. Changing your self-image can help you move closer to the life you desire. When you imagine a well-received speech, a compatible date or a stress-free exam in rich, vivid detail, you’re gearing your mind and body for success instead of failure. Begin practicing positive imagery by setting aside quiet time to visualize success. Close your eyes, take a deep breath and imagine what success feels like. If you felt completely successful, how would you carry yourself? What would you feel like? For help using your creative mind constructively, try hypnosis.  I have a free download titled Create the Life You Want over at icreatehabits.com.  You can put it on your media player today and begin creating the life you want.

Self-Nurturing and Self-Talk (Guest Post by Dr. Marjorie Miles)

Wednesday, July 20th, 2011
For a high percentage of my women clients, one of the biggest challenges is self care. In my experience, there is a direct correlation between emotional eating and the lack of self pampering. Sarah Ban Breadnach, author of Simple Abundance answers the question: Why should self-nurturance be so frightening to most women? "Perhaps we are all Scrooges when it comes to self-nurturing because if we were kind to ourselves, our creativity (and what we may really need--my own editorial commentary) might begin to blossom like a plant moving toward the light. Of course, this would mean we'd want to make some changes in our lives, and we all know how we feel about changes, even positive ones. We may be in a rut, but at least our own familiar grooves are comforting in their own insidious fashion". She continues, "The way to take giant steps and strides toward our authenticity (and weight management--my own editorial, again), however, is through small changes. Leo Tolstoy believed that 'True life is lived when tiny changes occur.' Take an honest look at how good you are to yourself. How much sleep are you getting? Are you walking often or getting enough exercise? Have you given meditation a chance? How much time do you have every week to relax? To dream? To engage in personal pursuits? When was the last time your laughed?" Today, make a list of 10 self pampering things you could do for yourself. Now select one and do it...and enjoy!!

Friendship Caused My Life to Shift and Birthed ‘The Sheri and Erin Show’

Saturday, June 5th, 2010
This morning I read an e-mail from Oprah. She posted a short video of Regie Hamm and asked her insider community to answer this question: "Regie Hamm found his fame on American Idol and his heart through a special needs child. What has caused your life to shift?" I responded with this answer:
In the past, all of my shifts in life came about from "hitting bottom. But this year I have experienced major shifts in my life as a result of love and friendship. About one year ago I had a "chance" meeting with Erin. We became fast friends and eventually we started our own BlogTalkRadio show. The conversations I have with Erin are life-transforming, mainly because of her ability to remain non-judgmental and to listen to what I have to say. I would like to think I offer the same benefit to her and we have both become a better version of our "Selves" because of this relationship. As a result of this relationship and our talk show together, we are able to reach out to others so they can also experience the impact of friendship, mutual respect and unconditional love. This is a very gratifying, soul-satisfying way to experience the shift and I hope to shift even more as I move toward my greater destiny.
In the same e-mail, Oprah posted a video blog about Marget & Joe – two people who managed to find an unlikely friendship 30,000 feet above sea level. Then she asked readers to write about how they found friendship in the most unlikely of places. Here's how I answered:
About one year ago I met my friend and co-host Erin at church. The fact that we met at church is no big deal. But what makes it seem miraculous is that she only went to this church one time and one time only and I am a sporadic attendee. So, the chances of us meeting were very slim. She was sitting in the after-church refreshment area alone and I invited her to sit next to me. I didn't know many people and I always liked it when someone made me feel welcome so I simply extended a gesture. We discovered instantly that we had many similar interests and we became fast friends. Over the past year we have had hundreds of phone conversations for thousands of hours. After 4 months of knowing each other, we started a BlogTalkRadio show so we could talk some more and also share our insights and favorite things with an internet audience. The experience of having a show has been so magical that we hope we can do even more and eventually get a T.V. talk show together. In any case, our friendship has impacted our lives and the lives of many others all because of a "chance" meeting.
I think it's important to share the good things in life with each other. On The Sheri and Erin Show we dedicate the second Thursday of the month to talk about Master Minding. This is a great way to build mutually respectful and supportive relationships with other people. Click on the player below to hear one of our shows about Master Minding or visit our show page today.
