If you know what you ‘should’ be eating but still find yourself reaching for food when you’re stressed, tired, anxious or overwhelmed, trying harder probably isn’t the answer.
In this episode, I look at four things that can drive emotional eating – biology, emotions, beliefs and environment – and why focusing only on stopping the eating can leave us stuck in the same cycle.
We’ll also look at what can help before, during and after emotional eating, including sleep and nutrition, restriction, stress, self-talk, your environment, mindful eating and why what you do after overeating can make such a difference.
The goal isn’t to never emotionally eat again. It’s to understand what’s driving it, build more ways of coping, and have more awareness and choice around food.
