Replies to '06/08 Deadly Eating'

Hello Dr. Phill, we  watched the week to the  broadcasting about your help to Tsunami. we are way behind your schedule qas you can see. but still I want to let you know that I think people need a lot of courage to start a diet, and watch their lifestyles. It's difficult yo watch a diet when you are overweighted 5 kilo, but also when you are overweighted 100 kilo. Have you ever though about getting a programm about people who cannot keep their weight. they have to eat healthy to not loose weight. I am 165 meter and weight 56 kilo. This is ok. But when I feel bad I think it's very difficult to eat and then I lose weight easily. 

Thanks for your show, 

Elly

Would that we could simply change our habits overnight or just decide to eat less.  It's called addiction for a reason, and food is particularly difficult because you need it to live -- you can't just cut it out completely.  It's emotional eating at its worse, and it's not simply a matter of what you eat.  Even more of it is WHY you eat.  I could empathize with Paul.  My foods are bread and pasta.  They're comforting when you're eating them.  I miss pasta, and burgers and fries.  But I'm reprogramming how I feel about myself.  So if one does't understand what it's like to be an addict, in a way it's sad because it makes it so difficult to understand those who are.
