brought to you by WiseHeart Wellness WorldWider
Treating food addiction and compulsive eating
Welcome, to your sixth Healthy Eating gift. No Eating would be complete without the gift that everyone really wants - that would be brain research! Okay maybe I am the only one with that on their wish list, but after you check this out you will be thankful for it.
The Compassionate Brain presentations by a group of very special researchers who are a special mix of scientist sages, describe how compassion develops in the brain and how the brain benefits by the development compassion. These are people that have advised the Dali Lama and are changing the world heart by heart, brain by brain.

We have 12.5 million children who are overweight or obese and twelve million people in the U.S. with an eating disorder. Something is drastically wrong!

Creating Boundaries: One Step on the Path to Freedom from Disordered Eating
Boundaries are imaginary or real lines around our physical, emotional, or spiritual self that set limits for us and how we interact with others. Imaginary lines protect our thinking, feelings, and behavior. Real lines allow us to choose how close we allow others to come to us, as well as if and how we allow them to touch us. Boundaries help distinguish what our responsibilities are and are not.

*** Breaking Free of the Binge Cycle
We develop patterns of behavior early in life. We associate certain events with certain feelings and behaviors. One such pattern is our behavior with food. Being fed by our parents when we were young may come to represent being cared for or being loved. On the other hand, not being fed when we were hungry may have produced a deep insecurity about whether there would be enough food in the future.

***Chapter 1 – Facing the Fact that Diets Don’t Work
Have you ever dieted and gained the weight back? Statistics show that sixty-six percent of the American population is overweight. Only one out of 200 dieters loses the weight and keeps it off for a year or more. Out of the 25 million Americans that are seriously dieting in the United States 40 to 60 percent are high school girls. Studies show that 35% of the normal dieters progress to eating disorders. Thirty percent of post-bariatric or gastric bypass surgery patients develop a substance addiction. The body may, but thinking remains the same.
