The Health Jumble

By John H. Sklare, Ed.D, - January 18, 2012

Happy New Year! Each week in January I'll be addressing one of four subjects from my Inner Diet program. Each represents the building blocks of a healthier lifestyle, thinner body and happier, more active future. Week 3: How to create commitment...

The Health Jumble

I have a great suggestion to offer that will help those of you who struggle with what I call Mindless Emotional Eating. I call that the MEE syndrome (That's capital M, capital E, capital E which stands for Mindless Emotional Eating) and I'm sure that many of you will identify with this behavior.

Mindless Emotional Eating is the cornerstone of weight gain. The key to solving this problem is to become more mindful and less mindless about the health choices that you make.

This idea came to me as I was responding to a plea from a very desperate woman. She was frustrated over her inability to stop eating candy bars – Snickers, to be specific. She ended her message with the following request: "Dr. Sklare, can you please show me a way to shift gears when that Snickers candy bar is calling my name?" Well, never fear – Dr. Sklare is here!The core of her difficulty is that she was fixating on the very thing she is trying to avoid. And, as research and personal experience has taught us, the more you focus on something, the more mind-consuming it becomes. What she really needs is a distraction strategy that will help her to shift her attention away from eating that candy bar and interrupt this temporary mental obsession. Her dilemma brought to mind a creative exercise that I developed to help deal with this very situation.

It is said that, if you can distract yourself for as little as a few minutes, your craving for food will pass. Activities that divert your attention away from food are what are called distraction strategies. Reading a book, taking a walk or listening to music are all typical examples of distraction strategies that many people employ.

So, along those lines, I have an idea for a distraction strategy that will divert your attention, disconnect you from that burning craving of the moment and help you to focus on healthier thinking. You will need a pen and a piece of paper for this. I call it "The Health Jumble" and here's how it works.

Let's say, as in the case of the woman I just mentioned, it's a Snickers candy bar that is calling your name. Write the words "Snickers candy bar" on a piece of paper and then see how many other words you can create with all of those letters.For example there's: rice, nice, niece, I, cab, can, earn, be, break and skinny to name just a few. Just approach this exercise as you would the jumble in your local newspaper and see how many new words you can create out of all of those letters.

Then, after you've written as many words as possible, see how many "healthy sentences" or "positive statements" you can make by combining those new words that you created. For example, four of the words that I just created a moment ago from Snickers candy bar can be combined to create the sentence, "I can be skinny!"

The idea here is threefold: It allows you to face and confront your temptation; it provides you with a way to engage that temptation in a safe, healthy and positive way; by creating the words and developing the sentence, you manipulate, defuse and totally reframe that temptation.

The key here is that repetition gives birth to habit. This activity is intended to interrupt that habitual and repetitive cycle of Mindless Emotional Eating in order to help you break free from the MEE syndrome and manage your cravings more mindfully.

However, the bottom line is this: To successfully manage your weight, you must address more than just your body. You must also address your mind. The Health Jumble will provide you with a distraction strategy that will change the way you respond to temptation by helping you to become more mindful and less mindless about the health choices that you make.
Take Action:
  • Boycott Target, Best Buy, Gold's Gym - for donating money towards anti-gay political candidates/organizations. Update: (12/26/2010): Target is continuing to donate to anti-gay groups/causes/politicians. Update 03/08/11 - Lady Gaga Ends Target Partnership, Reportedly Over Target's Poor LGBT Stance. Update 3/25/2010 - Target displays their hypocrisy and Sues California Gay Rights Group for Lobbying Outside Stores. Target is attempting to block the LGBT right of free speech! STOP SHOPPING AT TARGET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Update 4/8/2011: Target lost its case to stop the LGBT from canvassing in front of their stores. A huge PR Disaster for TARGET! Perhaps Target should go out of business as they betrayed their investers and customer base. Target contributed massive funds to a politician who would like to exterminate gays. Now, Target can not stop us from Boycotting them, nor picketing, nor talking to customers near their stores; although, Target allows a anti-gay company such as the Salvation Army to stand outside their door and speak with customers and raise money. Isn't this a double standard?
  • End DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act). Prevents Federal employees and Gays in the Military from gaining equal benefits. Prevents Gay Partners from gaining equal benefits.
  • Pass a LGBT friendly ENDA (Employee Non-Discrimination Act). ENDA would prevent employment discrimination of LGBT workforce.
  • Boycott Salvation Army as they will not hire Gays! "DO NOT DONATE TO THEM."
  • BOYCOTT "Chick-fil-a" for donating money to anti-gay groups.
  • BOYCOTT KOCH INDUSTRIES PRODUCTS- to include their products: Angel Soft toilet paper / Brawny paper towels / Dixie plates, bowls, napkins & cups / Mardi Gras napkins and towels / Quilted Northern toilet paper / Soft 'n Gentle toilet paper / Sparkle napkins / Vanity fair napkins / Zee napkins / Georgia-Pacific paper products & envelopes / All Georgia-Pacific lumber & building products (INVISTA Products) / Lycra / Stainmaster Carpet. The billionaire - Koch brothers are ultra republican - tea bag founders/supporters that do not support causes of the LGBT community.
  • Boycott WALMART - The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force criticized Wal-Mart for denying employee benefits to same-s-x partners and for failing to prohibit discrimination based on gender identity. By comparison, the group said two other chain stores with a strong presence in New York, Costco and Walgreens, did much better.
  • "Tune Out Trump", Boycott all Trump Hotel, casinos, holdings, The Apprentice and NBC Network! At CPAC, Trump said he is considering a run for president as a Republican. In a interview with the Des Moines Register, Trump added that he opposes all forms of legal recognition for gay couples, not just marriage. "They should not be able to marry," he said. So why does NBC keep the Apprentice when Donald Trump has stated he may run for president? After making racist remarks about Obama and recv'g public backlash, Trump decided not to run for president after NBC renewed his awful TV Show. How can NBC re-new the clown's show after he pulled such hateful shenanigans?
  • Boycott Georgia for Execution of Troy Davis @ 11:08 EST, Sep 21, 2011:
    Former US President and Former GA Gov. Jimmy Carter felt that TROY DAVIS should not be executed and deserved a re-trial. The Former Director of the FBI felt that TROY DAVIS Was Not Guilty! Do not drive through Goergia as it is dangerous. Do not fly via Atlanta. For your safety -Do not travel to GA. TELL YOUR COMPANY NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CONVENTION IN GA! "Georgia Executes Innocent People!"
