Episode 36: It's important to plan means in advance so that when we're tempted to go off plan, we can explore the emotions that may be driving the desire to eat.
Blog Description:
Have you ever had the urge to eat something you didn't plan to eat, and wondered if you just didn't plan enough food? OR could it be that this urge is actually an emotional need begging for an answer? Listen in as Marchelle and I decode the difference, and help you discover emotional eats that you might not even be recognizing!

10:08 Here's another form of emotional eating that can sometimes happen. So let's say that one of the ways that you and your husband connect is with a couple of glasses of wine every night. Your’re wanting connection. That's an emotional need and drinking the wine with your husband is essentially emotional eating, or in this case, emotional drinking in disguise. I don't want any of us to underestimate the power of this need for belonging, because it is hardwired into us because as we were evolving, we evolved in tribes and clans and we needed to be with other people in order to survive. So we needed to have that sense of community.
18:54 Many of us are eating just to take a break. The idea of actually just sitting and doing nothing is sort of foreign to us. We always have to be doing something. And because if we're not doing something, we're judging ourselves as being lazy. And so instead of just sitting and taking a break, we eat, so we're eating to relax.
28:01 So much of what we're doing is we're denying our emotional needs and we're trying to end up satisfying them in some other way, with food or alcohol or both. We have to learn how to answer these emotional needs without food constantly. That's the secret to lasting weight loss, right? We have to become aware of all of the self judgment that goes on in our heads and correct that thinking. We have to notice how often we eat in order to belong or to avoid what we think is going to be the judgment of other people. We have to learn how to have fun without having food or alcohol be the primary way we do it.
