Emotional Eating Isn't the Problem - It's the Messenger - Ep. #103

Season #4

"Food isn't speaking louder than your willpower. It's often speaking louder than your unmet needs."

If you've ever found yourself standing in front of the pantry after a long day, wondering, "Why do I keep doing this? I know better." This episode is for you.

Here's a simple practice to try this week:

Every time you notice yourself wanting food outside of physical hunger, take just sixty seconds before you eat.

Ask yourself three questions:

  1. What am I feeling right now?
  2. What happened just before I wanted food?
  3. What do I actually need?

Your emotional eating isn't proof that you're weak.

It's proof that you're human.

It's a signal.

A messenger.

Until next time...Take Care of You!
