Ever find yourself demolishing a pint of ice cream after a stressful day even though you weren't physically hungry?

Your problem isn't lack of willpower – it's invisible emotional triggers hijacking your eating decisions without your conscious awareness.

Today, Sarah Krieger of the "Don't Call Me Skinny" podcast reveals the psychological side of emotional eating while sharing practical tips to build a healthier relationship with food.

This is one part of a special two-part collaboration. Don't miss the companion episode on Sarah's podcast where Philip covers the data-driven systems approach to conquering emotional eating!

Main Takeaways:

• Emotional eating isn't about willpower but about hidden psychological triggers
• Childhood experiences often shape our emotional relationship with food
• The language we use about food reveals our deeper relationship with eating
