Oprah and the obese teenagers dilema
January 30, 2009
For those of you who watched the show, you must have seen the hurt and confusion of these teens. They have been hiding and burying their emotions with food. So many of us do that anyway.
Comfort food is called that for a reason!
As one of the teens guys was saying, if one plate of food doesn’t hide the hurt, maybe the 2nd or 3rd will do it.
Food can be quite a seduction.
Many of us are quite guilty of reaching for it when we are rejected, confused, hurt, unsure or just plain lonely.
Oprah brought on Dr. Oz and two other therapists, who work with distraught teens.
In my presentations at StrongIncentives, I show people thru training and hypnosis, how they can take control of “emotional eating.”
Maybe you have heard the sentence, “It’s not what you’re eating it’s what’s eating at you!”
Since I am working on a book, dealing with confidence and issues at high school and college and even in the workforce….I would like to hear from you.
I will offer my own CD for free to the first 10 people who respond with their comments regarding eating and how it controls them.
You can see my CD’s at my website EileenStrong.com. They are for sale at $14.99, but this is my gift to you for your response.
Be a part of a great book and get your opinion recognized.
You may not be on the Oprah show, but your story may get printed.
Interested???
Luv to hear from you,

Confidence…I need to improve it!

Life constantly is taking a toll on our confidence. Whether we are anxious about taking a test; going for a job interview…or hoping for a new and better relationship.
It is amazing how quickly it can be chipped away at. You feel good about yourself, and then a lousy test grade, or a sentence made from a professor or a peer, quickly crumbles us.
Each day, you need to give yourself the permission, literally…positive permission on how you will respond in a specific conversation. Practice the conversation in the mirror (privately) so that you truly do feel comfortable with the sentences you are going to say. Letting your emotions control you, will override what you MEANT to say. Practicing what you want to say will truly make a difference. Write it out what you intend to say to that person. THINK it through…as you see yourself in the conversation. So frequently we simply plow forward….thinking that we will be in control when we say it. This simply does not happen. Someone interrupts us, or something happens during the conversation that threw you for a “loop.”
Then we beat ourselves up, later on thinking “why did I say that?”
You know that has happened to you….as it has happened to me.
By practicing and feeling confident on what we intend to say….will truly allow this to take place. Stay focused, practice and reap the benefits of doing this simple technique. Better yet, if you do it at least SIX times, your response will be exactly what you had wanted! THIS WORKS!
Allow your emotions to stay in control, and the benefits are all yours!
I speak on this journey of confidence at colleges, sororities, fraternities, social groups. My company StrongIncentives.com

I truly want to help you “rock” your attitude with gratitude! At nearly 6ft. tall and the last name of Strong…I chose to make it work. So can YOU!
