Is it Emotional Hunger or Actual Hunger? 7 Ways to Tell the Difference

We can't fix what we don't notice

I have found that lot's of women don't like the term emotional eating, EVEN THOUGH when I use it, you know exactly what I'm talking about!  We don't want to really consider the idea that we have a problem with emotional eating because we have a BELIEF  that dealing with emotional eating is going to take more work than counting points or going keto.  But the truth is that's TOTALLY backwards thinking!  Dealing with our eating behaviors and the emotions and thoughts that underlie them will not only transform our weight and our health, but the entire LIFE that we create.  

But the old adage is true - you can't fix what you don't notice.  If we don't recognize our emotional eating behaviors, we will never take the steps to deal with and overcome them.  In this episode I'm going to give you 7 ways to determine if you're eating for emotions or eating for actual hunger.  I want you to get REALLY honest with yourself and recognize how many of those 7 patterns have been true for you.  

If you find that you've been emotionally eating more often than you thought, don't despair, or go down the shame and guilt spiral.  Trust me, you're in good company.  Instead, notice, learn, make different choices, listen to more podcast episodes, grab the free tools, and stay tuned because I'm working on a FREE emotional eating mini-course that I'll be dropping soon!!

Ditch the Diets and Finally Make Peace with Food

If you struggle with yo-yo dieting then you know how hard it is to make any real lasting change.  Unfortunately most women get stuck in the belief that being on a diet is the only way to lose weight and get healthy, and when they inevitably fail they’ve destroyed their self esteem, destroyed their relationship with food, and get stuck in a guilt/shame spiral that starts the whole process over again.  

If you don’t understand how reprogram your mind that is sabotaging you, and reprogram your body for health, you’ll never make lasting progress.  

That’s why I created the Healthy Mind, Healthy Body Program; to teach you how to make a real, lasting transformation in your Mind AND Body.
