MUSCLE PANTS

• These sort of baggy pants to work out in from the ’80s
• Have the muscle tees as well
  • Just covering nips
• Complete ridiculousness
• Nowadays, companies like LuluLemon are making see through riding pants

EMOTIONAL EATING

• The same as compulsive eating
• Vinnie has so many clients and callers who deal with this
• When you are feeling down, it is so much easier to break NSNG
• Anna personally dealt with this
• Everyone can fall into this category at some point
• Emotional eating is part of the addiction
  • Easier to give in to sugar/grain addiction when you already feel bad 
• Sometimes, stress makes it so that eating junk food is just more convenient
• Sometimes you don’t even realize how much you emotionally eat
  • You find, when you do NSNG, that you recognize these problems
• The issue is, when you eat emotionally, you are working against yourself
  • Eating crap will actually make you physically feel even crappier
  • You will also find that you realize you need to deal with certain emotions
    • Helps you heal the issues when you can recognize them 
• Eating consciously and keeping track of what you put in your mouth is a key
• A form of emotional eating is even when you are in a group and want a beer
  • Don’t give into that peer pressure or “normality” of it
    • Ex: men during football season 
• Don’t find yourself using the power of reasoning
  • For example:
    • I had a good day, I deserve some Ice Cream
    • I had a bad day, I deserve some Ice Cream
