Episode 39: Five Things You Can Do Immediately to Stop Emotional Eating When You're Burned Out, Tired, and Not Even Hungry


Listen Later

Have you ever found yourself standing in front of the fridge at 8 p.m., not even hungry… just tired, stressed, or emotionally drained?

In this heartfelt episode, Dr. Peggy Gleason pulls back the curtain on emotional eating—and what she reveals might just change the way you see yourself forever.

Because here’s the truth:

You’re not addicted to food.

You’re craving comfort.

You’re reaching for something deeper.

This episode is a compassionate conversation about why diets don’t work, why willpower has nothing to do with it, and what your late-night snacking is actually trying to tell you. If you’ve ever felt like you “know what to eat, but just don’t do it,” this one’s for you.

🌱 What You’ll Take Away:
  • Why emotional eating is not a flaw—it’s a signal.
  • What that nightly fridge visit really means.
  • The myth of willpower—and what actually creates lasting change.
  • Why diets keep failing you (and it’s not your fault).
  • Five simple but powerful tools to stop eating when you're not hungry—without shame, guilt, or another restrictive plan.

💖 Favorite Quotes from Dr. Peggy:
“You’re not broken. You’re just burned out.”
“This isn’t about being stricter—it’s about being more supported.”
“Knowing isn’t the problem. Feeling safe enough to act on what you know is.”
“You don’t need another diet. You need a deeper connection to yourself.”
“The pantry isn't your problem. It's your safe place when nothing else feels safe.”
