Unfortunately, using food as a drug, to medicate the underlying anxiety, has had long-term disastrous results, as we are witnessing. Turning to food, becomes another addiction we do not wish to surrender, and just masks the continuing unease we are feeling. There are various ways to deal with obesity, and one way that may be effective, is to get to the underlying cause and learn how to cure anxiety easily and permanently.
Is anxiety causing your obesity? It can be insidious and can show itself in the form of overeating or constantly reaching for something to put into your mouth, without even knowing why. Maybe it’s time to ask:
Has food become your constant companion?
Do you feel as if you “must have” chocolate?
Are you making endless cups of tea or coffee instead of having water?
Are you biting your nails or constantly feel restless?
Do you feel like Attila The Hun, getting angry at the drop of a hat?
Are negative thoughts bombarding you, sending you to the fridge for comfort?
Do you feel as if you are on high alert waiting for some unknown thing to happen?
Are you constantly running around, no time to eat healthily or to sit still and calm down?
If any of the above applies to you, then ask yourself how long you want to carry on avoiding the real cause of your obesity. Isn’t it time to face the issues in your life, rather than run from them? Isn’t it time to learn how to cure anxiety and actually enjoy living your life?
Learning to recognise how anxiety manifests in your life, is the first step to healing your obesity.
Just because you are trying to quell your distress with food does not mean you should feel bad about yourself. How many of us do the same thing? Rather,congratulate yourself for uncovering the real cause behind your obesity. It is time to move forward and take steps to quickly, easily and permanently cure the anxiety and help yourself return to a healthy weight.
