Emotional Eating Isn't the Problem - It's the Messenger - Ep. #103
"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:
- What am I feeling right now?
- What happened just before I wanted food?
- 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!
