Hiya,
I am looking for a very effective spell to stop emotional eating. My problem is i eat when i am bored, or happy.
I have done realy well so far and lost 28 kilos but i can feel i am slipping. I was haveing some major relationship issues which occupied my mind and i didn't eat much at all, now the issues are mainly over and i am eating lots again. It seems to be all i think about is eating, or snacking, binging ect.
It's like i am possessed with something that wants me to eat!!! I know i'm not hungry but it's just that i'm not strong enuff to say no to whatever it is that is telling me to eat.
I have a big problem and i need it to stop!
I am a novice witch and i did a bit of candle magick and charged a rose quartz crystal and it did seem to work for an hour or two and then i caved!!! I didn't do it very well.

Please, i need help.

Blessed Be,

Sounds like maybe you could use a self confidence spell. Hmmmm, I don't know any off the top of my head, but I'll go see what's in my BOS. Also, there might be some threads in the green room on this subject. Try using the search and see what comes up. (((((((hugz))))))) :)

Thanks Hunny.
I know my self confidence isn't the best, but i dont feel like thats the problem. Overall i am pretty happy, sure i have my down days like anyone else.........
I just feel like i dont have control when i go get some chips, or lollies, or other bad foods. It's not like i am depressed and eating to make me feel better, i spose it's just boredom? maybe
I realy dont know, it's like i'm posessed, not hungry!

Maybe a spell to break an addiction or bad habit. I don't have any but I'm sure there is some out there. Search around I think it's been brought up before.

Ok, thanks, will do

I'd also suggest a spell to help you find the emotional cause of your addiction. The eating is a symptom. If you have any ideas as to what the cause may be, or at least where to start, it might be a good idea to do a working that would address that issue rather than the eating.

For instance, if you feel that the cause is lack of self-worth, you could do a self-esteem spell. If you are eating to fill a need, you may also ask the Goddess for asssistance in finding other ways to meet that need.

Check out the weight loss threads in the health forum... There are people there who do the same as you,( im one on occasions). You could get some support there too.((()))

I found a great spell on page 64 of this year's Llewellyn's Spell A Day Almanac to release negative habits that might help ~ and you can do it while you're cooking. I can't copy it here because it would be a copyright violation, but if you can get hold of a copy, it's worth looking into.

Just be careful when you ask that things you no longer need be released - a friend of mine did that and her candle went bananas and burned her whole house down...........

hey thanks, but whats "this year's Llewellyn's Spell A Day Almanac "?? I'm in Australia so i dont realy know what your talking about :(
Thank you all for the advice though. I will just have to be strong to get through this. Hopefully i will find a job soon so i will be occupied.

Sorry! You can order it directly from http://www.llewellyn.com and can also find it at sites such as Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble, etc. The Almanac is a collection of lore and spells for every day of the year and is published annually.

You can also simply burn a black candle to symbolize burning away the cause of your eating problems. Samhain, the Wiccan New Year, is a good time to banish negative habits and energies.

it could be that the lack of job, etc. is making you feel as though you don't have a niche of your own. i went through something similar a while ago and finding a job w/ sense of purpose attached really helped. do you have any hobbies, work out, or do any creative work? anything that demands your full attention so you have somewhere other than food to focus your thoughts & energies. it might also help with the niche issue if that is what's going on. i write poetry, myself, when i need to work through things. you don't have to show it to anybody ;) just sit and let the thoughts flow. if it's hard to get started write about something silly like zebras. whatever shows up, let it out. if you can get yourself into an exercise mode or maybe get a friend to work out w/you, that might help too. exercise not only helps the root chakra (survival issues) but will give you more energy & confidence. of course this is conventional wisdom, but i have a hard time sticking to my workouts & i always feel better when i am exercising.

also what everyone else said. :)

hope this helps.
