This emotional eating can destroy your chances of ever losing weight.

So it is very important to deal with and process your emotions in healthy a way. Instead of looking to food to fulfill you, find joy in your life and fill yourself with love every day; go for that walk, take a vacation, go out to a good movie by yourself. You don’t have to wait for another person to love you or treat you to something nice, treat yourself by doing things that are healthy and good, by doing these things you are giving “SELF” the love that you deserve.

In order to heal emotional eating find healthy ways to lift your mood and release the negative emotions; you may find it helpful to express your emotions by keeping a journal, practicing yoga, or volunteering your time to help others.

One of the most important steps in weight loss is incorporating a good detox program at the same time you are losing weight, a good detox will include all major filter systems like the colon, kidneys, liver, and skin, but don’t forget to purify the blood, clean out the parasites, and get rid of the heavy metals, this provides upkeep of the body and helps it perform properly.

It will also be helpful to minimize consuming fast food, along with sugar and simple carbs, and cutting down on saturated fats. The following are a few tips to ensure that you maintain a healthy lifestyle of food consumption:

1. Limit your fast food consumption! If you must eat out, find restaurants that have healthy choices like salads, baked, grilled or broiled alternatives.
2. Detox the body regularly. Most diseases come from toxins in the body and they have the ability to weaken the immune system.
3. Replace refined white sugar with sweeteners such as Stevia and Agave Nectar.
4. Make green vegetables your main staple for each meal, try steaming, roasting, grilling.
5. Eat plenty of fiber! This is important for your digestive system. You should consume 25 to 30 grams of fiber per day – Fiber activates the cleansing system within the body.
6. Drink plenty of water, half your body weight or at least 8-8oz a day, this hydrates the body, lubricates the organs and carries nutrients throughout the body.
7. When measuring food consumption, use portion sizes like the palm of your hand and 10–12 ounce cups.
