How do you get here - to feeling good, to feeling

How do you get here - to feeling good, to feeling at ease, to feeling free?

When you are consumed by emotional eating?

This was my journey for most of my life. I was constantly seeking something to fill me up.

Food fills you up so you don’t have to feel the discomfort, the void inside.

But it is temporary and full of side effects like shame, guilt and feeling like a failure.

They say all the answers are inside of you and while I agree, I’ve needed to experiment to find the way in. The how.

While words and explanations are helpful and keep you inspired. I’m sure, like me, you are always needing the practical step by step.

So if you’ve been trying everything and it still hasn’t helped your emotional eating pattern there is something you are not seeing.

For me at first - I was stuck on hunger. I had no idea what hunger was. Yes, we all get hungry and it seems so obvious. But to me, it wasn’t. I was consumed with needing to eat. all. the. time.😬Maybe that’s you?

I needed to learn the nuance of hunger and how it related to emotional eating. And when I got that, it was huge. It was such and aha. Clients have breakthroughs with this simple concept. Simple but sometimes not easy to know.

This was the first step of many. One step at a time the picture becomes clearer and it all starts making sense. You are a multifaceted and the solution for emotional eating is as well because you need to look at ALL of you.

So if you’re ready to start on your journey to resolving your emotional eating so you can finally feel confident in your body and around food - I’d like to invite you to download my free guide “What Are You Truly Hungry For?” to help with identifying emotional hunger. Link in bio.

Why Behavioural Change will not Help Your Emotiona

Why Behavioural Change will not Help Your Emotional Eating

Today I want to share with you why behavioural change alone will not help you resolve your emotional eating.

I wanted to dive a bit deeper into why simple behaviour change is not going to help you with resolving your emotional eating. This is because emotional eating is a coping mechanism, and that means it’s deeply ingrained. This pattern usually goes back all the way to childhood. This is what I’ve seen with clients, and this was the case for myself.

Because this pattern is so deeply ingrained, we can’t just simply create a behaviour and expect to override it. Emotional eating, like I mentioned, is the coping mechanism. These coping mechanisms and patterns are very automatic and they live in our subconscious.

Check out the video for more.

And if you are ready to resolve your emotional eating from the root so you can feel at ease, free and confident in your body and around food DM me to explore.

It’s scary to step into a new way of being… W

It’s scary to step into a new way of being…

What does that even have to do with emotional eating?

Everything, because the old ways of resolving this pattern don’t work. Or they work for a little bit and then you’re off looking for the next magic bullet or wave of willpower to “control” yourself.

I was there too, trying ALL the things - the diets, trainers, therapy, nutritionists and the list goes on.

I was so sick and tired, I threw everything out the window and swung to the other extreme.

It didn’t help either. I felt the same - defeated, like a failure and confused.

In that moment I realized I needed to do things differently. I needed to try a new way. At this point I had nothing to lose and nothing seemed to work, so I started to experiment.

Now, I tell clients the same - experiment to experience change. This is how you put the power back in your hands, to see how things work for you. Not something outside of you…

This lead me to creating my methodology The Emotional Eating Evolution Program. It’s how I guide clients to resolving their emotional eating so they can feel at ease in their body and around food, in a step by step way with lots of support.

What Helps Resolve Emotional Eating Beyond Control

What Helps Resolve Emotional Eating Beyond Control✨

When clients start working with me they think they need more control and willpower.

If they could just sustain that they would be able to conquer their emotional eating.

I get it – I really desired that relationship to food that didn’t make me feel out of control. I would see women being normal around food and wanted that.

As emotional eaters we are given advice to eat less, don’t eat past this time etc. Advice about control. So of course we think we are lacking control and willpower.

Changing our behaviour on the surface doesn’t create sustainable change. I see this with clients all the time.

Check out this week’s video on what you need beyond control.

Can you connect to your true hunger? One of the f

Can you connect to your true hunger?

One of the first things I had to learn with my emotional eating was what was true vs. emotional hunger.

For some reason I had no clue when I was hungry, I felt I was hungry all the time. Even if I had just eaten.

Looking back, I was really disconnected to my body.

Over time as I figured out the difference between true and emotional hunger things started to make sense.

I could finally “see” when I was emotionally eating. This was a huge first step and is pretty much the first thing I teach to clients.

Because, if we don’t know the difference we can’t track our triggers for emotional eating and are at the whim of any type of hunger we feel.

If you’d like to start learning the difference for yourself as well, check out my free guide “What Are You Truly Hungry For?”. Link in bio

Judgement on Your Emotional Eating Journey Today

Judgement on Your Emotional Eating Journey

Today I want to share with you more about the emotional eating journey and judgement.

I notice when clients are on this journey or before they start to get caught up in what others will think which can derail them.

When I was on my emotional earring journey and was moving past the deeper emotions and wasn’t as triggered, I was able to start nourishing my body. I was listening to my hunger cues and I was changing how I was eating because I realized how different foods made me feel.

As I started changing, I started to get comments about the way I was eating from other women – friends, coworkers, etc.

Something about the way I was being was triggering them.

Check out the video for what I learned early on, how people pleasing can play a role and your own triggers.

Why food? Why do we use food to cope? How did thi

Why food?

Why do we use food to cope? How did this happen and how can we resolve it.

Food is nourishment and from a young age it is tied to love, think breast feeding. Food also physiologically makes us feel good (our body releases endorphins) otherwise we wouldn’t find eating pleasurable. So it makes it perfect to feeling "good".

The current attitude we have towards emotions is not very good. Especially as an emotional eater you were probably shamed or felt ashamed of your sensitivity. So you dismiss, distract or push away our emotions which leads to coping with them with food.

This is where emotional eating can start. We use food as a bandaid, then we layer on diets and control to stop the pattern when it persists.

The thing is that this "bandaid" is keeping us from our emotions and now we’ve piled on these other patterns to "help" us.

This is why emotional eating is multifaceted. We have to move through all these layers. Our society has a dysfunctional relationship to food, our body and our emotions.

BUT as we move through these layers and create a new healthy way and meet our true needs we begin to feel at ease, free and confident around food and in our body.

In The Emotional Eating Evolution Program we move through each of the layers and reconnect back to ….
-True Nourishment
-Body Acceptance
-Emotional Wellness

On the other side of emotional eating

•Feeling at ease in your body
•A relationship to food that is pleasurable not obsessive
•Connection to your true hunger and body's rhythms
•Emotional resilience
•Meeting your true needs
•Self worth
•Coming back home to yourself
•and so much more...

Why Control Won’t Help Your Emotional Eating✨

Why Control Won’t Help Your Emotional Eating✨

Today I wanted to share with you why controlling yourself will not help you with resolving your emotional eating.

I wanted to touch in on this topic because when women are dealing with emotional eating they feel they need a lot of willpower and control.

The emotional eating pattern develops over time. Emotional eating is when we use food to soothe ourselves from any discomfort or uncomfortable emotions.

It is a coping mechanism and is temporary relief. This is not a solution or resolution and I’m all about resolution 😉

Check out the video for the roots of this and what we need to stop this pattern.

Recently I discovered a part of me that was managi

Recently I discovered a part of me that was managing my emotions and experiences.

Making me feel small and ashamed if I shared these “insignificant” moments.

Have you felt this way?

All it did was lock me into not expressing myself fully. And to be honest, I thought I had moved through this.

This was a major theme for me with my emotional eating. On an unconscious level I didn’t let myself feel my emotions and used food to soothe and distract myself instead.

It made me start thinking about emotions, and how we casually dismiss them. Yes, of course we are taught this in society. And this is definitely a theme with my client’s self talk…

“It’s not a big deal”
“See you’re fine”
“Don’t worry, just forget about it”

Honestly writing that makes my body constrict. I already feel judged.

This judgement keeps any emotion that comes up stuck in the body, and it will get triggered again and again. If it is not resolved this compounds the emotional eating pattern.

While in theory it’s easy to say “feel your emotions” it can be hard to do when this is so ingrained. This dismissal.

This is why a huge part of The Emotional Eating EvolutionProgram is learning to move through emotions in an empowered and compassionate way. Learning that these “little” and maybe not so little things matter.

The little things matter, and they are the gateway to resolving this pattern.
