Do you consider yourself an emotional eater? Do you know what emotional eating looks like? How many times have you used food as a reward or a way to make yourself feel better?

In this episode of Uncomplicating Weight Loss, Eva discusses why so many of us use food to satisfy emotional hunger rather than physical hunger and why it's not our fault! We have been conditioned to see food as a reward or therapy, so how do we uncover what's really going on underneath our emotional eating?

Tune in as Eva shares six signs that you may be an emotional eater and ways you can start addressing it, figure out a path forward, and find what you are truly hungry for.

KEY POINTS:

- What does it mean to be an emotional eater?

- We have been conditioned to see food as a reward

- Do you eat when you are bored?

- Only eat when you are hungry, and stop when you are satisfied

- How to override your food urges

- Are you hiding your food and eating patterns?

- Food isn't good or bad - it's neutral

QUOTABLES:

"Most of us have been conditioned to eat for reasons other than hunger. I mean, think about it. If you tell your friend you're having a bad day, she might be like, let's go get some food. If you tell your friend you're having a good day, she might be like, great, let's go get some food."
