To stop your emotional eating<\/a> once and for all you must make five critical distinctions that allow you to de-condition eating so it doesn\u2019t automatically occur whenever one of the triggers or rewards shows up.<\/p>\n

The Lefkoe De-conditioning Process helps you make all the necessary distinctions. Specifically the LDP assists you to do the following:<\/p>\n

1. You realize that you wanted the \u201creward\u201d (e.g., feeling loved), not
\nwhat got rewarded (e.g., eating). That enables you to find healthier ways to
\nget the reward than overeating.<\/p>\n

2. You recognize that you wanted what eating provided, for example, a
\npleasurable distraction from a trigger, not the eating itself. In other words,
\nyou wanted to stop the \u201ctrigger\u201d (e.g., having negative feelings), you didn\u2019t
\nwant eating (which was just one arbitrary behavior) that provided you with a
\npleasurable distraction.<\/p>\n

3. You realize that something you thought was \u201cthe truth\u201d because you
\nthought you \u201dsaw\u201d it in the world, namely, that eating was the best way to
\nget what you wanted (either a reward or a pleasurable distraction from a
\nnegative trigger), never really was in the world. You never saw it. That was
\nmerely a thought that has existed only in your mind as one possible meaning
\nto gave to a series of events you were trying to understand earlier in your
\nlife.<\/p>\n

4. You realize that eating never really gave you what you wanted. It
\nprovided a momentary reward or relief from a negative feeling, but as soon
\nas you finished eating, you were right back where you started.<\/p>\n

5. When you are conditioned to eat, knowing that there are alternatives
\nto eating doesn\u2019t stop the eating. But once eating has been de-conditioned,
\nyou are able to identify and use healthier ways to get rewards or a
\npleasurable distraction than overeating.<\/p>\n

When you use the Lefkoe De-conditioning Process to make these and other distinctions, your eating conditioning gets de-conditioned. And the overeating that had been due to the conditioning stops easily and for good. If beliefs also happen to be involved,
\nand they aren\u2019t in most cases, once they have been easily eliminated all
\nemotional eating stops for good.<\/p>\n

Once you do that, you are free from the prison emotional eating has
\nlocked you in\u2014 free to experience a slimmer body, greater energy and the
\npeace of mind that comes from an end to your struggle with food.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
