The Comfort Food Challenge

By John H. Sklare, Ed.D, / March 07, 2012

Q: How do I stop eating comfort foods in winter?

-Patricia A. Brush Thompson

A: That's a great question about an issue that creates problems for a lot of people. However, I don't believe that the low temperatures of winter play a major role in wanting comfort foods.

Reaching for comfort foods is really a symptom of emotional eating. They're used to ease feelings like anger, frustration, fear, stress, loneliness, conflict, boredom, depression, loss or disappointment.

Emotional eating has little to do with real physical hunger. The difference between the two can be summed up in the following, put together by the University of Texas Counseling and Mental Health Center:
•Emotional hunger comes on suddenly; physical hunger occurs gradually.

•When you are eating to fill a void that isn't related to an empty stomach, you crave a specific food, such as pizza or ice cream, and only that food will meet your need. When you eat because you are actually hungry, you're open to options.

•Emotional hunger feels like it needs to be satisfied instantly with the food you crave; physical hunger can wait.

•Even when you are full, if you're eating to satisfy an emotional need, you're more likely to keep eating. When you're eating because you're hungry, you're more likely to stop when you're full.

•Emotional eating can leave behind feelings of guilt; eating when you are physically hungry does not.
You ask about how to stop comfort eating, and there's simply no one single answer. So much depends on the motivating factor at the heart of this kind of struggle. But spending a few sessions with a counselor can be helpful.

In the meantime, however, I have one suggestion that has produced some great results for people who struggle with this issue. I used to recommend this to patients years ago and continue to suggest this approach with those I interact with today. It takes a bit of imagination, but if you really put your heart into this, it can make a significant difference in what you choose to eat.

Imagine that your body is like a helpless, innocent young child. This is even more powerful if you're a parent and have had to care for an infant. If you don't have children, you can substitute a beloved pet instead.

To a large degree, your body is like a child or pet, as it has no choice but to accept everything that you do to it and put into it.

With that in mind, I suggest you feed and care for your body just like you would feed and care for your child or dear pet.

Imagine that everything you put into your mouth is also going into the mouth of your child or pet. I'm willing to bet that you'd never even consider feeding your child or pet something you knew was unhealthy. Am I right? Of course I'm right, because the responsible and loving part of you would never do intentional harm to a child or pet.If you're able to perform these basic mental gymnastics, you can put yourself in a different frame of mind. This new frame of mind will create new thoughts which, in turn, will give birth to new behaviors.

I like to call this imagery technique eating for two, because it causes you to pause and think before you grab and eat.

When all is said and done, there's no single way to address comfort eating. Since it can be the result of deep emotional issues, anyone struggling with this would benefit from a few sessions with a therapist schooled in this area.

In the meantime, give my eating for two imagery activity an honest try for two full weeks and see if you don't notice a big difference.
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!"

This group is called "Peckers Pics." The English - slang definition of "pecker" is to pluck at the truth. Therefore, we peck at items such as Gay Men's Health, Male Fitness, Gay (LGBT) Politics & Issues. In this section you may peck at each photo in order to decide the winner of the "war of the fittest!" Whereas, you should select the "Male Athlete" that may inspire you to exercise and "get fit!" Warning: This may stoke you!

Sara Gilbert: Kirk Cameron's Remarks Might Impact LGBT Teen Suicide Rate
The actress suggests that the antigay remarks made by Kirk Cameron could have a negative effect on kids who are confused about their sexual orientation.

By Jeremy Kinser / March 6, 2012 / Advocate

During today's episode of CBS's The Talk, Sara Gilbert suggests that the antigay remarks made by Kirk Cameron could have a negative effect on kids who are confused about their sexual orientation, while La Toya Jackson says people who love each other should be respected.

Cameron, the star of the '80s sitcom Growing Pains, expressed his opinion of same-sex marriage and homosexuality when he appeared on Piers Morgan's CNN talk show Friday. "I think that it's unnatural," he said. "I think that it's detrimental and ultimately destructive to so many of the foundations of civilization."

Gilbert, herself a teen actress on the sitcom Roseanne, first jokes that "the tragedy of this is that Growing Pains will never be the same to me."

The actress then drives home the potentially serious consequences of Cameron's antigay rhetoric. "You really have to think about who you are hurting ... the kids out there who aren't OK with who they are," Gilbert says. "In lesbian, gay, and transgender youth, the suicide attempt rate is 30 to 40 percent, and those kids hearing that message. ...  He just needs to think about that. And when he's saying we're taking apart foundations in society, I would argue that there is no one who fights for marriage more than gay people."

La Toya Jackson says that, although she was raised as a Jehovah's Witness, her eyes were opened when she left the religion, which disapproves of homosexuality, in her late 20s. "[Cameron] is sending the wrong message to children," Jackson says. "We need to try to get along as much as possible."

Gilbert's former sitcom mother Roseanne Barr, a longtime equality activist, has also spoken out against Cameron. Barr tweeted, "Kirk or Kurt or whatever Cameron is an accomplice to murder with his hate speech. so is Rick Warren. Their peers r killing gays in Uganda."
