(a Tushkateer is a member of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kickinthetushclub.com\">Kick in the Tush Club<\/a>) sent an email that I share with you, here, today.  It sheds &#8216;lite&#8217; on the words she uses and how they inform and create her reality.<br \/>\n<em><strong>How do your words color your reality?<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\nDear Janice ~ I know that <strong>I am an emotional eater<\/strong> and that every emotion will cause me to eat.  When <strong>I am stressed<\/strong>, I eat; when <strong>I am bored<\/strong>, I eat; when <strong>I am lonely<\/strong>, I eat; when I talk to my ex, I eat; when <strong>I am happy<\/strong>, I eat &#8211; etc. etc.  This has<strong> always<\/strong> been the case, but lately, I just can&#8217;t stop eating.   I feel like one of those addicts that clearly needs an intervention, and I hoping that you will intervene and help me to stop this pattern!  ~ B.N.<br \/>\nDear B.N. ~  I am so pleased that you reached out for help.  And I am hopeful that I can help you!  This is indeed a pattern that you can STOP!!!  Your first step is to step back and observe.  Observe the language that you are using!!!<br \/>\n<strong>STOP Using Identity Statements.<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen we say &#8220;I am,&#8221; we are making an identity statement.  Identity statements go deep and stick.  You wrote &#8220;I am stressed, bored, lonely, happy.&#8221;   Is that who you really are?<br \/>\n<strong>STOP Using Absolutes.<\/strong><br \/>\nYou wrote, &#8220;every emotion will cause me to eat.&#8221;  Really?  EVERY emotion?  Will cause you?<br \/>\nYou wrote, &#8220;This has always been the case.&#8221; Always? Each and every time??? Never an exception?<br \/>\n<strong>STOP Saying that You Can&#8217;t.<\/strong><br \/>\nYou wrote, &#8220;I just can&#8217;t stop eating.&#8221;  Instead of saying, I can&#8217;t, how about saying, &#8220;In this moment, I don&#8217;t know how to stop.&#8221;  Once you shed the &#8216;lite&#8217; on the truth; that it&#8217;s not that you can&#8217;t but rather than you don&#8217;t know how, you can then begin to investigate how to stop.<br \/>\nI do hope that this &#8216;intervention&#8217; was useful to you and to all who are reading it!  Well done, B.N.!
