Understanding Disordered Eating: Eating Disorder Recovery and Body Image Healing

185. Emotional Eating at Night


Listen Later

For so many of us, nighttime feels like stepping into a different version of ourselves. One that feels "fine" all day, but starts to unravel the moment the sun goes down. One who can't stop thinking about snacks, who wanders into the kitchen on autopilot, who feels out of control around food in ways that never show up at noon. It can feel confusing, frustrating, even shameful.

Listen to the full episode for the full unpacking and for the practical steps that can help you finally feel at peace when the night comes.
