Are Eating Disorders Related To Bad Habits (Part 2)?
copyright 2007 Keith Crovatt
What are 5 important steps to take control of your eating disorders? In "Are Eating Disorders Related To BadHabits (Part 1)" we discussed the various types of eating disorders and some examples that will hit home with many readers. In this article, we want to explore 5 ways to break an eating disorder habit.
*The first step is often the most important and is the hardest to accomplish! Nothing ever happens in life until you actually make a move to change your habits. If we keep our eating disorder habits to ourselves, we can slip and slide and no one will be the wiser, right? Well, that is about to change. The first step in controlling the yo-yo weight gain/weight loss cycle is...drum roll please...tell 2 other people about your plans. I did not say tell them about your hopes to lose weight. I did not say tell them about your dreams of getting back in shape. I said tell them about your plans. Plans are action items best written down and read often. Your mind will react in a positive way when you talk with yourself about a plan, an action and an expected outcome. You may say "I can't be caught dead telling others I have this secret problem I have been trying to stop." Guess what? Everyone has some little secret, hope, wish, frustration they are dealing with also. Your confession will inspire others to start working on their issues too. All of a sudden, you have a small support group of 2 to 5 people helping each other out. This creates accountability among your group.
*A second way to break eating disorder habits is to change your daily routine. Do you remember the movie about the man who relived groundhog day over and over again? He knew exactly what was going to happen in his life every day until he died if it did not stop. We all usually get out of bed at the same time each working day. We have a routine for cleaning, eating, and driving to school or work. We look at the clock for lunch and think about our usual afternoon snack. We may stop to get the same coffee or pastry on the way in every day. This, my friend, is called a habit. As this habit has been created, it can be changed. It all starts in altering your routine. Typically, it takes 21 days to alter a habit.
*The third method of breaking an eating disorder habit is changing our menu. I know, it sounds obvious doesn't it? You will be surprised at how a simple change in the quantity of food will alter the calorie intact of the foods you eat. Here is an example. I love sandwiches at lunch. I can either take them back to my office or eat them at a nearby park. As I mentioned in part 1 of this article, the restaurants are creating super portions of food that most of us do not need if we sit at a computer all day. My trick is simple. Order a kids meal or senior portion if you are older and wiser. Most kids meals now offer fruit, milk, and other healthy items. Not only is the cost lower but the portions are smaller and are perfect for all of us.
*A fourth step in breaking an eating disorder habit is back to our support group. Are you talking with others at work, school, church, neighbors about hooking up with you? I can bet most of us have friends we can walk with at lunch. A lot of lunch places are close enough for a walk. Think about it. The next time you drive "down the street" to get lunch, clock the mileage. You will see that instead of powering up your car, using gas and in many cases stuck in traffic, you could walk there faster. Trust me on this. Try it, walk it, get others involved with you.
*The fifth method is the most fun. Create a "reward" day every week. A single sweet delight, pastry or chocolate covered yogurt bar will not put 10 pounds on your body. By rewarding yourself for daily changes in your routine, the guilt and feeling of being trapped in a diet go away. I love this part and you will too.

Old Wives Tales in Pregnancy - What Should You Believe?
Copyright (c) 2007 Eva Moffat
Part One
You are pregnant so clearly you want to do everything you can to make sure the baby is not harmed by what you eat or drink.
There are so many Old Wives Tales; do this, do that. What should you believe?
Are you a coffee drinker?
In moderation it is not a problem. But studies have shown that drinking Java can lead to babies being born with Attention Deficit Disorder. Also large quantities of Caffeine can lead to babies being born with a low birth weight.
Surely Cheese Is Good For You?
Cheese is full of Calcium isn't it? Yes indeed it is. But mild Flu like symptoms can be caused by eating unpasteurised cheeses. And because the symptoms of Listeriosis are so mild, they may not be noticed. This can lead to miscarriage or premature delivery.
What Cheeses Are Safe?
Cottage Cheese, Cream Cheese or Cheddar is fine. Enjoy.
How About Colas or Diet Sodas?
It's the use of artificial sweeteners that do the damage. But like most things taken in moderation should be harmless enough. One glass of Diet Soda a day or an artificially sweetened yogurt shouldn't do you or the baby any harm.
Will Eating Fish Do Any Damage To You Or The Baby?
We've all heard how fish is brain food, so who wouldn't want a clever baby? But certain fish eg tuna, can contain high levels of Mercury and this is extremely harmful to the baby. Also eating raw fish is not a good idea, even if you have cravings for it.
The FDA and EPA in March 2004 gave out advice to pregnant and breast feeding mothers; to be sure of not doing any harm to yourself or your baby, don't eat more than two servings of fish a week.
Recommended fish are:
� Shrimp
� Pollock
� Salmon
� Catfish
NOT Recommended fish are:
� Mackerel
� Shark
� Swordfish
Fish Fingers and fast food sandwiches are usually low in Mercury, so they have the okay.
Not All Herbal Teas Are Good For You.
There are some Herbal Teas that are good for you and the baby; so enjoy.
However, some Herbal Teas like Peppermint and Raspberry Leaf if taken in large amounts may cause contractions.
So much for drinking Peppermint Tea to stop heartburn.
If you stick to drinking Herbal Teas containing Orange Extract, you will cause no injury to your unborn child.
Spinach Is Good For You And The Baby.
Spinach contains Folic Acid and that is definitely good for the developing baby.
Another essential Mineral is Iron and yes Spinach has that too.
Go ahead, eat as much as you want, after all it did Popeye no harm.
Smoking and Drinking
Smoking is a definite no no.
But the occasional glass of wine should be all right. Although it is advisable not to drink any alcohol during the first three months of pregnancy, because this is when the baby's Nervous System is forming.
Now You Are Pregnant Shouldn't You Be Eating For Two?
As the baby is so small at first and even when at full term, all you need do is eat an extra 300 Calories a day throughout your pregnancy.
Are All Old Wives Tales A Load of Rubbish?
Some Old Wives Tales have some truths in them. But a lot more haven't. So to be sure you do no damage to your unborn baby or yourself � follow the advice of your GP and also reread this article again every so often.
The main thing is to enjoy your pregnancy and take the Old Wives Tales with a large pinch of salt.
