Today's episode is raw, personal, and long overdue.
For most of my life, I didn't eat because I was hungry — I ate because I didn't know how else to soothe the stress, overwhelm, and emotions I didn't have language for yet. Food became my comfort, my reward, my escape, and at times… my emotional survival mechanism.
In this episode, I'm opening up about:
The first moment emotional eating became a coping strategy
How food became tied to love, comfort, and safety
The patterns that carried through adulthood, motherhood, stress, and life transitions
The moment I realized something deeper was happening
And the mindset, nervous system tools, and emotional rewiring that helped me finally break the cycle
If you've ever eaten in secret, turned to food when you felt lonely, overwhelmed, or exhausted, or if you've ever felt shame around your eating habits — you are not alone.
Emotional eating isn't a character flaw or a lack of willpower. It's a coping mechanism.
And today we're bringing compassion, awareness, and healing to the conversation.
✨ If this resonates, send me a message — I'd love to hear your story.
I started a new YouTube to share more behind the scenes and my personal transformation @officialmistyanderson
