End emotion-driven eating: she found herself— and lost 111 pounds
END EMOTION-DRIVEN EATING: SHE FOUND HERSELF— AND LOST 111 POUNDS
Coping with a fractured marriage and a satisfying but stressful job, Lynne Watson found joy in only one thing: eating.
Every morning, she'd head for the local bakery, where she'd pick up an apple fritter and two or three chocolate doughnuts. She'd polish them off before she got to work. For lunch, she'd eat pizza or a big sandwich, with cookies for dessert. In the evening, she'd eat a Mexican dinner slathered with sour cream and guacamole.
While these foods made Lynne feel better, they also expanded her waistline. By 1985, she weighed 230 pounds.
That year, Lynne spent Christmas Day alone. Despondent and desperate, she was at a crossroads. "The way I figured it, I could end my life or take control of it," she recalls. "I decided to grab control."
After much soul searching, Lynne ended her 19-year marriage and returned to school to complete her bachelor's degree. "As I made these choices, I began to feel better about myself as a person," she says. "I began to feel empowered."
Her newfound self-assurance and self-esteem had another surprising benefit: She no longer experienced intense food cravings. "As I met new people, I relied on them, not food, for comfort and companionship," she says.
Through a combination of healthful eating and regular exercise, Lynne lost 111 pounds in 4 years. And she's happy to report that not one pound has come back. "I have no trouble keeping my weight under control," says Lynne, now age 50 and a health-information manager and quality-improvement coordinator in Siskiyou County, California.
WINNING ACTION
Nurture yourself without food. Feelings of loneliness, anger, sadness, and frustration often trigger binges, says Marlene Schwartz, Ph.D., codirector of the Center for Eating and Weight Disorders at Yale University. If negative emotions prompt you to overeat, you need to find nonfood ways to make yourself feel better. Try making a list of your favorite activities. Then, when you're in the mood for food, check your list to see what else you can do to make yourself feel even better. Try listening to your
favorite music, puttering around your garden, reading a Patricia Cornwell thriller, or calling a good friend.
