Overeating is an attempt to go numb. As one of my clients says “it’s easier to stuff my feelings than to feel them.” You don’t want to think about how much you have to do, how many responsibilities you have . . . or how much pressure and uncertainty you are dealing with. It’s just easier to eat. Read this article to find out how to change this overeating pattern.

I can’t tell you how many people have protested to me “. . . but, Carol . . . nothing ‘works’ like food!” That is a true sign of food addiction and that you are overeating and using food to self medicate.

1. Quality sleep is going to make changing your diet an easier process. One thing you should keep in mind is that digestion can interrupt deep sleep. Heavy meals late in the day can make you sleepy, but they can also keep you from getting the quality of sleep you need. The same is true of alcohol. You should avoid snacks before bedtime of grains and sugars. This will raise blood sugar and inhibit sleep. When blood sugar levels drop later in your sleep, you can awaken and not easily fall back to sleep.
