Emotional Eating Isn’t Something We Get Over – It Is Something We Learn to Get Through

September 2nd, 2010 at 10:33am Under healthy eating

I am an emotional eater – the difference is simply that I know that about myself. Growing up, I learned to use food to cope with feelings and stress. Now, the BIG difference in my life is how I relate to the part of me that runs to the cupboard when I am [...]

Coffee: Good Food or Bad Food?

September 1st, 2010 at 10:25am Under Healthy Recipes

If you simply can’t start your day without a cup of coffee, be careful about choosing a blended drink at your favorite coffeehouse. For example, a Tall White Chocolate Mocha at Starbuck’s has 310 calories, and a small Coffee Coolatta with milk from Dunkin’ Donuts has 49 grams of sugar. Yikes!
But it doesn’t have [...]

Dark Chocolate: Good Food or Bad Food?

August 27th, 2010 at 09:50am Under healthy eating

Yes, dark chocolate is full of cancer-fighting antioxidants, but just because you decide to chow down on a dark chocolate bar doesn’t necessarily mean you’re making a good diet decision. Consider this: A Hershey’s Special Dark bar has 21 grams of sugar and a serving of Dove Dark Chocolate Miniatures has 13 grams of [...]

Give Up Binging AND Give Up Dieting

August 26th, 2010 at 09:23am Under healthy eating

I was a life long dieter which fits with being a life long binger – because dieting and binging are two sides of the same coin. I didn’t recognize that the same compulsion that drove my unhealthy eating was driving my desire to diet. If you are overweight (or even underweight) because you [...]

Movie Snacks: Good Food or Bad Food?

August 20th, 2010 at 07:43am Under healthy eating

A night at the movies isn’t complete without a tub of popcorn and a cold drink. But before you rush to the concession stand, consider this: a large popcorn with buttery topping can have over 60 grams of fat and some large sodas have over 130 grams of sugar. Wowzah!

Becoming a More Conscious Compulsive Eater

August 19th, 2010 at 10:56am Under healthy eating

As a lifelong “binger” I don’t believe the inclination to binge ever really “goes away” – HOWEVER, for me, my desire to binge is an indication of something else (a need, or feeling that ought to be addressed).
