Well, studies show that a specific style of coping with stressors is linked to overeating, depression, anxiety etc. This occurs mainly when we think we are powerless to change the situation. Here is some information about how to switch from soothing with food to solving the problems!

Part 1 has the scientific background

Hi Josie,

I had so many "aha" moments watching this. It was wonderful.

Question: I eat when I'm tired bc it keeps me up. Particularly chocolate seems to help bc of the caffeine. So when I am at work, and I'm exhausted, I can't leave and I can't take a nap I problem solve with food bc it works. I obviously don't feel so great after but am wondering if you have suggestions for how to problem solve during this situation. I am technically dealing with the stressor. It seems silly but it h

@schnitzrif Oh I am SO glad you found "aha" moments while watching this! Hmmm...have you tried caffeine that isn't in a food form..like sipping green tea?

This video (parts 1 and 2) was awesome! I thank you so much for putting such a concrete visual and explaination to what I feel like I have been doing my whole life. I loved your shower example. Such a simple thing, but yes, as a woman, I often feel like that kind of thing is often beyond me fixing. I also feel powerless in getting my children to do what I feel like they should be doing. I am going to start applying your strategy everyday!!! THANK YOU!!!

[josielenore]

@wgrant71  Ha! I'm so glad I wasn't alone in the shower head moment!! I'm excited to hear about your new empowered life!!

I only watched 3 of your videos and already I'm in love with you :) lol

[bonkers333]

you are an inspiration!

I found this video really good for my own overeating and then thought how I could apply this to training my team. We come across a lot of young people who when faced with an event soothe by self-harming. If I can help them to consider task orientated coping maybe we could make a difference. What do you think?

[mackenzie15]

I just wanted to thank you so so much for your videos. I can't wait to apply your tips to my life!

[ibekjulja]

well, the problem is: there is no concrete event i think i cant fix. I mean, yes, there is, but its all internal and i most of the time i dont get what that sudden urge to eat is all about. thats what makes it soo difficult. anyway, love you and your vids ;)

I -3 these videos and will see how well I can initiate them in my life. (I couldn't think of a synonym for initiate)

OMG! That is so funny about the shower head! Same! I used to be able to clean our shower easy as we had one of those shower heads on the hose that you can lift off the wall, but my boyfriend broke it and replaced it with one of the old ones that dont come off so cleaning the shower went from fun and easy/water saving to taking ages and me getting soaked and pissed off. So I would avoid cleaning the shower for too long long, and go eat something! Your videos are great, I can totally relate!

Wow. Hit the nail on the head. Seriously!
