Are you eating when you’re not even hungry and then beating yourself up for it?
In this episode of The Brave Widow Show, I sit down with Amy Scott, a weight loss coach who lost 80 pounds after age 55 and has kept it off for over 5 years.
Her story will challenge what you think you know about food, willpower, and self-control.
Why emotional eating actually makes sense (and why that’s the first step to breaking the cycle) How grief, loneliness, boredom, and stress can hijack your hunger signals Why “good” and “bad” food labels are sabotaging you How to plan food you love without the all-or-nothing crash The single most important thing to say to yourself after a “slip”If you’ve been on the weight loss rollercoaster, or if you feel powerless around food after loss, this conversation is your permission to drop the shame and start creating lasting change.

I’m Emily Tanner. I was widowed at age 37, one month shy of our 20 year wedding anniversary. Nathan and I have four beautiful children together, and my world was turned completely upside down when I lost him.
Now, I love my life again! I’m able to experience joy, achieve goals and dreams I thought I’d lost, and rediscover this next version of me.

I implemented the tools and strategies that I use for my clients in my coaching program.
