<img src="http://www.compulsive.ws/wp-content/uploads/cat-icon/smiley.jpg" width="28" height="28" alt="" title="Compulsive Eating" /><br/><p><a href="http://www.compulsive.ws/wp-content/uploads/my-past.jpg"><img src="http://www.compulsive.ws/wp-content/uploads/my-past.jpg" alt="" title="my-past" width="300" height="200" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-661" /></a>Quit living in the past.  We all have our pasts to deal with. We cannot  fix it but we can let it go and decide to move on.  Pick up yourself from the vicious cycle of the past and live your life to the fullest.  Do not justify the past by blaming others. Accept past mistakes but do not wallow  in them. Surrender everything  to God.  Allow Him to work in you, resting in the thought that He will completely erase the past.   Loosen up.  Have fun.  Allow yourself to be like a child all over again. Never allow the past to ruin your future.</p>
<h2>Being Motivated</h2>
<p>Bear in mind that your thoughts determine how you feel. Captivate your thoughts and filter them into positive tools to become an  overcomer. Refrain from criticizing yourself, instead find an opportunity to reaffirm yourself that you made the right choice. Do not blame or make excuses for your behavior, but rather firmly resolve that the change you desire emanates  from the very core of your being. Take responsibility, accept and love yourself.  Feel good about your accomplishments.</p>
<p>Do not go back to the vicious cycle of  worrying especially during eating. This is disrespect to our God. If you have problems you must have to deal with, write them down on paper and leave it behind for awhile. Do not ever attempt to tackle problems before eating. Once you have decided, stop the worrying and do something positive.  If things cannot be changed, leave it all to God.  Nothing can be hidden from the Lord. He knows your heart, your desires and wants. He also knows your strengths and weaknesses. Always ask for wisdom for you to be able to accept your situation.</p>
<p>Look at the future from a new perspective. You are a new you. Your brain is  no longer filled with the negative thoughts, but rather, it is  replaced with fresh and new affirmative thoughts that you are a new creation. Create a new list of your priorities and goals.  Make a list of positive statements to say to yourself for encouragement.  Joy and peace will no longer be easily  snatched away from you because it is in your heart. It is your choice to be joyful and at peace.</p>

<p>People should follow a proper course of action in their eating habits.</p>
<p>Eating habit is usually done unconsciously. It is a behavioral pattern that often occurs automatically. Your daily routine existence, living weary lives, going nowhere and never having enough time to get there. The rat race needs to lose a rat. Get off the rat treadmill and design your own. Design it for increasing challenge. Work towards having a great routine. Take some time to write out your present routine, then write out your ultimate routine. See yourself living it; feel the and the joy of the accomplishment.</p>
<p>The secret of life is that there is no secret. It&#8217;s all learning. No magic pill will change your life. You have to do it one step at a time, one day at a time, one moment at a time. You are rebuilding a life on a new foundation. Investing the time, work and energy to reshape your thinking and life will become much less painful. You will come to see life as a gift from God, an opportunity to experience, and a challenge to grow. Your soul will rise up as though on the wings of an eagle.</p>
<p>Now, let&#8217;s look at some overeating patterns and some easy changes that will have a big effect. shapes your life. For most of us, we are running like rats on the treadmill of  pleasure.</p>
<h2>Overeating Has a Pattern</h2>
<p>It is grocery shopping day for Susan. She buys a few treats telling herself “I won&#8217;t overeat.” When she gets home, she&#8217;s in the grocery bag for her favorite delicacy—warm cinnamon buns. She should have had one, but she had three. She eats a light dinner watching TV and makes endless raids on the refrigerator. By the end of the night, she is completely stuffed.</p>
<p>A week later Susan is on a backpacking trip to the mountains. She feels free of food addiction. She is eating sensibly and feels that she has overcome the problem. But she is disappointed when she returns to her usual surroundings.</p>
<p>A drug addict will feel no desire to use drugs when in the hospital or in prison, only to experience the full power of addiction on returning to the streets. Entering their familiar environment, they quickly slide into their old routine. In the same way, compulsive eaters in the home because they have established triggers through years of repeated behaviors: chocolate for depression, potato chips for loneliness, pizza for entertainment, cookies for boredom, ice cream for hopelessness, coffee tiredness.  When our routine is controlled by a series of triggers, we feel out of control, no longer master of our life, but a slave of the stomach god.  Like a cruel dictator, it growls and we jump to serve its every whim with quiet submission. Time for a rebellion.</p>
