BW 163: Why Emotional Eating Feels Unstoppable (and How to Break the Cycle for Good)


Listen Later

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.

 

Amy shares:

  •  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 did the work.

    I invested in coaching for myself.

    I learned what I needed to do to move forward and took the steps.

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

     

     

    This is for you, if:

    •  You want a faith-based approach to coaching
    •  You want to move forward after loss, and aren’t sure how
    •  You want to enjoy life without feeling weighed down by guilt, sadness, or regret
    •  You want a guide to help navigate this journey to the next version of you
    •  You want to rediscover who you are
    •  

      •  Schedule a consult with Emily:  https://calendly.com/bravewidow/widow-consult-call?month=2024-08 
      •  

         

        Find and take the next steps to move forward (without “moving on”).
