Emotional Eating- Sometimes it's Not That Deep


Listen Later

In this episode, I’m talking about something that might surprise you when it comes to emotional eating.

Sometimes… it’s not that deep.

I share a theme I’ve been seeing with several clients lately—where they assume something bigger must be going on, when in reality, it’s often much simpler than that. 

We tend to associate emotional eating with big emotions like stress, anxiety, or frustration. But what I want to offer is that it can also come from much lighter, more subtle emotions that are easy to overlook.

Things like boredom, hesitation, doubt, or even just a slight sense of discomfort.

This episode is about learning how to recognize those moments....especially the ones that show up when you’re about to follow through with something you said you would do.

Because often, those emotions don’t even surface until you stop distracting yourself.

I also walk you through the difference between escaping emotions and avoiding them, and why that matters if you want to feel more in control of your eating and your habits.

This is really about simplifying the process.

Not making it more complicated than it needs to be… and realizing that sometimes the thing getting in your way isn’t a deep-rooted issue, it’s just a moment of discomfort you haven’t learned how to sit with yet.

If you’ve ever felt like emotional eating doesn’t fully apply to you—but you’re still not where you want to be....this episode will help you start to see what might actually be going on.

Enjoy!
