Are you overeating all of a sudden? Is stress the cause of your overeating? Or is stress eating preventing you from reaching your fitness goals? Then, this episode is for you. Nikki digs into the issue of stress-eating and shares ways that you can stop it.

In this podcast episode, Nikki shares:

• Why merely more willpower or a more disciplined life is not enough to conquer stress eating
• The story of Nikki's struggle with stress eating and how she overcame it
• Five key steps for overcoming stress eating:

1. Bringing awareness to your situation of stress-eating

2. Identifying what your triggers are

3. Determining what more aligned alternatives would be

4. Figuring out how you could decrease those triggers

5. Constantly reflecting, refocusing, and repeating — shifting habits is going to take time

Memorable Quotes:

"If you're stress-eating a lot or emotional eating, and don't know how to stop it, don't get frustrated with yourself. This is a habit that you have to look at as an opportunity to grow."

"If you're stress-eating because you're trying to cope with something. It's a stress-coping mechanism. And you really need to figure out what that mechanism is serving you and how that is serving you."

"Often we will get stressed out, or we will have heightened emotions, or we think that we want these comfort foods that will help us feel better. But sadly, they often leave us feeling worse. we often over indulge to a point where we're uncomfortably full, leaving us feeling super bloated or inflamed."
