Hello,

In today’s episode of Food Without the Fight, Deirdre Coyne explains the HALT chart – a simple but powerful CBT-based tool for interrupting emotional eating and all-or-nothing thinking around food. 

You’ll learn why writing off an entire day after one eating slip keeps the struggle going, and how breaking the day into three eating windows creates multiple opportunities to reset. Deirdre walks through how the HALT chart helps you identify what’s really driving the urge to eat, whether that’s physical hunger, anxiety, anger, loneliness, boredom, tiredness, or the need for pleasure. 

This episode is especially helpful if you: 

• struggle with emotional or binge eating
• feel stuck in “start again on Monday” thinking
• are using, considering, or curious about GLP-1 medications
• want a calmer, more compassionate way to work with food

A practical, grounding listen to help you reduce food noise and rebuild trust with eating.

I hope this is helpful.

Bye for now

Deirdre
