Ever wondered why your emotions dictate your eating habits? Join us as we unravel the complex relationship between our feelings and food, shedding light on how emotional eating stems from learned behaviors rather than mere cravings. We'll explore how both overeating and undereating become coping mechanisms for dealing with emotional turmoil, and how this can lead to poor emotional regulation, negative body image, and decreased self-esteem. Through shared personal stories and relevant research, we emphasize the importance of recognizing and addressing the emotional triggers behind our eating behaviors, urging listeners to understand that true change is an inside job.
Learn about 10 different types of emotional eaters and reflect on your patterns, understanding that behavioral change is a journey requiring repetition and perseverance. Just like a baby learning to walk, adopting new, healthier habits takes time and effort.

The Comfort Seeker
The Nostalgic Eater

The Feelings Avoider
We offer 12 practical steps for breaking the harmful cycle of emotional eating that you can employ today. Discover the power of mindful eating and the benefits of keeping a food journal, as we introduce strategies to help you cultivate a healthier relationship with food and emotions.
You can't feed your feelings with food, but you can find healthier ways to nourish them. Our feelings matter. You matter!
We wrap up the episode with this quote from Margaret Thatcher, reminding us that consistency is the key to meaningful and lasting change.
