Emotional Eating..

Any time you find yourself using those words safe, in control, empowered, and you're talking about food, you know you're battling with an emotional issue too.

Fxm: I do this sometimes when I have issue and I try to control everything with eating. I have been here before which I do feel like I am in control when I eat. I did that yesterday when I was talking to Pily which I realized she would never get better. I ate a bowl of chicken, not one but two. This is an example of emotional eating..

There are many things you can do. I outline the process that I use in my book Body Sense and I have other ideas on my web site, www.forgetaboutdiets.com.

Fxm: More ideas on diets..

I think the most important thing you can do right now is to throw away your shame and guilt because I hope you have a better understanding of why the problem has developed.

Often I tell my clients that guilt is their middle name. They feel guilty for everything, and guilt is one thing that can pull them back to food. If there are emotional issues underlying weight problems, then another diet isn't the answer. You really need to focus on making the connection and get the past off your plate

SAD known as "summer depression," begins in late spring or early summer and ends in fall.

Symptoms

People who suffer from SAD have many of the common signs of depression: Sadness, anxiety, irritability, loss of interest in their usual activities, withdrawal from social activities, and inability to concentrate. They often have symptoms such as extreme fatigue and lack of energy, increased need for sleep, craving for carbohydrates, and increased appetite and weight gain.

Symptoms of winter SAD include:

• Fatigue
• Increased need for sleep
• Decreased levels of energy
• Weight gain
• Increase in appetite
• Difficulty concentrating
• Increased desire to be alone

Symptoms of summer SAD include:

• Weight loss
• Trouble sleeping
• Decreased appetite

The exact cause of this condition is not known, but the influence of latitude on SAD strongly suggests that it is caused by changes in the availability of sunlight. One theory is that with decreased exposure to sunlight, the biological clock that regulates mood, sleep, and hormones is delayed, running more slowly in winter. Exposure to light may reset the biological clock.

Another theory is that brain chemicals that transmit information between nerves, called neurotransmitters (for example, serotonin), may be altered in individuals with SAD. It is believed that exposure to light can correct these imbalances.

Biology vs. Emotions

There is absolute proof that people suffering from depression have changes in their brains compared to people who do not suffer from depression. The hippocampus, a small part of the brain that is vital to the storage of memories, is smaller in people with a history of depression than in those who've never been depressed. A smaller hippocampus has fewer serotonin receptors. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter -- a chemical messenger that allows communication between nerves in the brain and the body.

What scientists don't yet know is why the hippocampus is smaller. Investigators have found that cortisol (a stress hormone that is important to the normal function of the hippocampus) is produced in excess in depressed people. They believe that cortisol has a toxic or poisonous effect on the hippocampus. It's also possible that depressed people are simply born with a smaller hippocampus and are therefore inclined to suffer from depression.

Depression is a complex illness with many contributing factors. As doctors gain a better understanding of the cause(s) of the illness they will be able to make better "tailored" diagnoses and, in turn, prescribe more effective treatment plans.

Why high oil prices?

I can recall with pain when crude oil was at $10 a barrel," Mr. Raymond said, "and consumers were very happy because gasoline was at less than $1 a gallon. People have to realize that we're in a commodity business, which has its ups and downs."

"Today's higher prices are a function of longer-term supply-and-demand trends, and lost energy production during the recent hurricanes," Mr. Mulva said.

"While we’ve led with great capabilities in Messenger & Communicator, it was Skype, not us, who made VoIP broadly popular and created a new category," Ozzie continued. "We have long understood the importance of mobile messaging scenarios and have made significant investment in device software, yet only now are we surpassing the Blackberry." Ozzie also named some of the usual suspects, citing Apple, for example, and its iPod and iTunes as a slick integration of hardware, software, and services.

But he also warned that Microsoft faces competition from startup efforts like GoToMyPC, and more importantly, from grassroots adoption of technology that essentially sidesteps the company's traditional methods of pushing products into the enterprise via software licensing.

"Products are now discovered through a combination of blogs, search keyword-based advertising, online product marketing and word-of-mouth," Ozzie wrote. "Even enterprise products now more often than not enter an organization through the Internet-based research and trial of a business unit that understands a product’s value."

"More than anything, this involves the leading-edge users, that body of technically adept and adventurous people who help spread technology by grabbing it off the Internet," said Rob Helm, an analyst with Directions on Microsoft. "But Microsoft doesn't have as big a share of that group as its size would indicate. Microsoft has to get into that group."

To reach those users, Ozzie said Microsoft will need to revamp its Web sites, rethink its products, and in some cases offer up software or services for frees.

"Products must now embrace a 'discover, learn, try, buy, recommend' cycle – sometimes with one of those phases being free, another ad-supported, and yet another being subscription-based," Ozzie wrote. "Products must be easily understood by the user upon trial, and useful out-of-the-box with little or no configuration or administrative intervention."
