If you’re like most people and you hear the words, “emotional eating” you probably picture a woman crying in bed eating a half-gallon of ice cream right out of the container.

I know that’s what’s depicted in rom-com movies and on TV, but that image is just plain wrong.

Emotional eating is something we all do – both men and women – and it typically looks nothing like what we see on the screen.

One of the keys to becoming the healthiest version of yourself is getting control of your food choices, and the way you do that is to stop the emotional eating.

This is especially important for runners who typically don’t consider themselves emotional eaters.

In this episode, I explain what emotional eating is, what it isn’t, and share what you can do to begin the process of overcoming emotional eating for good.
