If you suffer from the familiar problem of needing to stop comfort eating, you are definitely not alone. While it may have begun with an apple women, and some men, have been engaging in comfort eating activities for thousands of years. So, what is it? Comfort eating is eating at times when you feel stressed, depressed, unnerved, anxious, excited, sad, and the list could go on and on. The problem lies in the fact that most people have far too many comfort eating crises for the sakes of their waist lines.

Why the Huge Rush to Stop Comfort Eating?

Comfort eating by itself is no big deal when enjoyed in moderation. The problem is that most people eat the wrong foods and have far too many times when they need these comfort foods that are usually high in sugar, fat, and/or calories. Unfortunately, comfort foods are quite often high in all three of these things. While they may bring about the temporary and all too brief high or feelings of relief that you are looking for, they also leave behind jeans that are far too tight and other problems related to a growing waistline.

More Problems With Comfort Eating

Other problems that go along with the need to eat for the sake of relief is that you generally tend to eat too much of the wrong foods and then you have the problem of guilt on top of the depression that drove you to turn to comfort eating to begin with. If you stop comfort eating all together you can break the cycle of eating for depression, overeating, feeling guilt, and beginning again.

Overeating Help Through Hypnotherapy

Though hypnotherapy in one form or another has been around for centuries it is only recently getting the credit it deserves as an effective form of treatment for all manner of emotional, medical, and physical maladies. NLP and hypnotherapy alone are powerful tools to help you stop comfort eating. When you combine them they will have a profound impact and give overeating help that even you might not have dared to dream possible.

But, how does it work? NLP, or neuro-linguistic programming works by training your mind to place less importance on those foods that you generally turn to when you need comfort. By robbing them of their importance and/or power over you, the mind leaves you free to pursue healthier choices or not to eat for the sake of depression at all.

Hypnotherapy can be used in conjunction with NLP in order to imitate the feelings of relief and/or elation that are often accompanied by consuming the various foods you eat for comfort. It doesn't matter why, how long, when it first happened, or how often if happens; if you need help to stop comfort eating or overeating help in general there are many excellent sources for help. Some of the best though, are through NLP, hypnosis, and hypnotherapy.
