This is me in Costa Rica processing acceptance and

This is me in Costa Rica processing acceptance and rejection.

We learn to self reject, to not fully be ourselves.

How do we move past this?

Emotional eating covers this up and makes it harder.

It’s in getting in touch with all parts of you that you can see where you hide and protect yourself in unhealthy ways.

As you connect these dots, you touch into meeting your true needs and evolving into who you truly are.

You come back to wholeness one piece at a time, to acceptance and feeling at ease, free and confident.

It’s an ongoing journey but once you see your patterns and have the tools you are able to ride the waves of life with more grace.

Inside of The Emotional Eating Evolution you create the relationship to food, your body and your emotions so you resolve your emotional eating from the root.

I wanted to share Y.R.’s journey with you. When

I wanted to share Y.R.’s journey with you.

When she started The Emotional Eating Evolution Program she felt "lost in how to proceed with health in a world that inundates women with messages about food, diet and worth; confused as to why I couldn't release myself from the hold that food held over me and frustrated that traditional diets never answered my questions about how to have a healthy relationship with food, focusing only on restriction and willpower.”

In her own words as she moved through the program she was…

✨"able to learn how to help my digestion and lessen the physical toll that my emotional eating had been putting on my body."

✨"experiencing the long lasting benefits of foods that nourish vs the temporary numbness of emotional eating that kept me in a cycle of self loathing, judgement and despair."

✨"working more constructively with the areas of my life that are triggers to my emotional eating, setting new boundaries and feeling more capacity to heal these areas of my life."

"I have gone from feeling powerless to food and my emotions to knowing that I have resources within myself with meditation to support and meet these needs.”

It was amazing to watch Y.R. transform each week in the program. It was not all smooth sailing and she experienced resistance along the way but she was supported with weekly office hours, private sessions and accountability check ins.

Her results are because of her commitment to herself - she implemented the steps, showed up weekly and was open to a new way of moving through her emotional eating.

She says "I feel more connected to my body than I ever have. I have a new respect and love for my body as it is today as well as all the forms it has had throughout my life. It feels as though a part of me has been awakened to help guide and teach me how to continue in truly recognizing the relationship between my inner thoughts and my outer form.”

Why Diets Don’t Work for Emotional Eaters✨ Di

Why Diets Don’t Work for Emotional Eaters✨

Diets or diet mentality doesn’t work for emotional eaters. I wanted to dive into this because when we are emotional eaters, we think, “okay, I have the right diet now to deal with my emotional eating”.

When I was going through my own emotional eating journey, I was trying all the diets, the plans and more.

They would work for a short amount of time because I could will power my way through and then I would end up in an emotional eating binge.

What I didn’t realize was that the diets, the diet mentality and the rules I had around food were also triggering my emotional eating.

You might think you have the perfect way of eating – you have your macros, your calories and your plan, but if it’s not deeply connected to your needs and your body’s needs for nourishment, then it’s going to also trigger you into binging or emotional eating.

Check out the video for more on why we need a new way and what’s missing.

You don’t obsess about food because something is

You don’t obsess about food because something is wrong with you.

Food obsession can be 2 fold when you are an emotional eater.

1️⃣You obsess because you are on another diet, or off one and judging all your choices. The more you restrict food the more you create a survival response in the brain. It starts obsessing about food because you are not deeply nourishing yourself.

2️⃣You obsess about food because it’s tied to soothing. So every emotional trigger or mood imbalance that comes up is tied to using food to soothe. This of course is not meeting your true needs, so you feel out of control.

What I see in my clients is that both of these things are usually going on. So we work with both of them to understand all aspects of your emotional eating because this pattern is multifaceted.

To resolve something like emotional eating requires depth. When I was trying all the diets, the personal training, the therapy, etc I didn’t have a full solution. I was still just getting temporary relief.

Once we see this pattern, understand it and have the tangible steps to resolve it we can release it at it’s roots.

This is what we do inside of The Emotional Eating Evolution Program.

💫You connect back to food

💫You connect back to your body

💫You connect back to your emotions and true needs.

This is what creates that ease, and confidence around food and in your body.

Emotional eating is about emotions, yet we are not

Emotional eating is about emotions, yet we are not taught anything about them.

As a society we only suppress, deny or cover them up, or distract with food.

Emotions are messengers. As we experience an event our body produces a chemical cocktail that we call emotions.

Emotions feel like sensations - for instance anxiety is usually an erratic pulsing, sadness a wave, anger is hot and intense.

We “feel” these sensations in the body. But what happens if we don’t learn to be with it all?

Emotions carry a message and in order to hear it we need to move through it. This allows the nervous system to get to calm, which is where our highest self lives.

As emotional eaters when these messages come up we numb, distract and suppress them with food. Food gives us a dopamine hit which hides these sensations temporarily.

What if I told you these emotions were messages indicating how in alignment you were? Sadness, hurt , and anger warning you to move away, and have boundaries.

BUT if we cannot feel, we cannot hear the message and it gets buried in the body.

The body stores it all, as sensations if we pay attention wrapped in a tense bubble.

You see when we don’t allow our emotions we trap them. Almost as if we are tightening our fist around clay. The emotion is trapped and we are left with tenseness. We do this to protect ourselves.

And also paradoxically move away from ourselves.

So we hunt for the next solution, another diet that distorts our relationship to food more, another hiit workout to push past this instense discomfort.

The way out is to learn to create a safe space to move through the emotions that are triggered that make you go to food to soothe. Here we learn what should have been modelled to us.

Inside of The Emotional Eating Evolution Program we specifically work through the emotions under our emotional eating pattern in the body and resolve them so we can meet our true needs and move forward powerfully.

This resolves the deeper emotional eating pattern at the root and leaves us feeling at ease, free and confident around food and in our body.

Avoiding Triggers Foods Doesn’t Work for Emotion

Avoiding Triggers Foods Doesn’t Work for Emotional Eaters✨

Today I want to share with you why those tactics like avoiding your trigger foods or removing them from your house are not sustainable to resolve your emotional eating.

I wanted to dive a bit deeper into this and share a case study with you.

We’re using avoidance and that means that we are still out of control around food. We haven’t gotten to the deeper root of what’s been going on for us. Maybe freeze the “trigger” food, avoid the get together, or just avoid the food.

That can temporarily work, but it also makes your life small.

This doesn’t give you choice or sovereignty.

This is something that a lot of my clients are looking for – having this choice where they make a decision to eat something and they’re not left with feeling shame or guilt or that they’re spiralling.

Check out the video for a case study of a client having her “trigger” food around and completely forgetting it!

I’m kind of sick of this…

I hear from women daily that they’ve tried everything to help their emotional eating

-every diet
-drugs (doctor prescribed)
-exercise with a personal trainer
-surgery (spending the amount a car costs)
-restriction
-talk therapy
-dietician

And still they remain in this cycle because those are bandaids that help us avoid the root much like food itself does.

Isn’t it time we face wants going on?

Emotional eating is a coping mechanism. We need to resolve all the things that created it. As I like to say get to the root.

It’s not *just* about food, or your body or your emotions. It’s all of it, untangling the dysfunctional way we’ve learned to cope.

I know we don’t want to look bc it might seem scary, but it’s not. It’s your way to ease and taking charge.

All the other solutions are external, so you’re not connecting back to you. I get it, I tried a lot of those things too and ended up more frustrated.

What I learned was that we need to

1.truly nourish our body - eating in a way that satisfies (true) hunger, improves digestion, catches emotional eating triggers .

2.accept our body so we’re no longer punishing it, pushing past our limits in an effort to be accepted.

3.resolve the emotions under the coping mechanism from the root in the body so we can move forward powerfully.

That’s how you create sustainable change and finally feel confident in your body and around food. This is what we do inside of The Emotional Eating Evolution Program✨

I hope that feels like an exhale to you because isn’t it time you started thriving vs. coping?

Part of resolving emotional eating is body accepta

Part of resolving emotional eating is body acceptance.

When clients start to work with me they think the same thing I did when I decided to stop controlling my body. That they’ve given up on their physical goals.

This is about creating acceptance so we are not feeling shameful for where we are at. We need acceptance to stop all those negative thoughts that trigger emotional eating.

There is this insidious lie out there circulating that if you nourish your body, accept it and have a healthy relationship with it you will somehow end up in a body you dislike…am I right?

Because we’ve been taught that punishment and pushing are the ways we reach our goals. Cue all the diets + intense exercise. This triggers more emotional eating🤯

When I started eating to feel good in my body I was unsure where I would end up. I just wanted to stop the obsession, self criticism and shame. Which would trigger emotional eating.

I learned was that I needed a period of healing after years of abusing my body with all the diets, restriction, over exercise + emotionally eating. The more I healed, the more energy I felt, the more confidence I had and my body started to transform✨

Our body needs time to repair after years of abuse. The body has been in a stress response which makes health issues worse, creates digestive issues, inflammatory conditions, mood imbalance, weight gain, and the list goes on...

Our body wants to be healthy but our society has everything backwards.

👎🏽Restrict
👎🏽Punish
👎🏽Avoid

We need a combination of:

👉🏽True Nourishment
👉🏽Body Acceptance and
👉🏽 Emotional Wellness

To truly resolve the emotional eating pattern✨

There is this experiment with water. When you speak kindly to the water the crystal structure is beautiful + symmetrical and when you are unkind it is jarring and misshapen.

We are doing this internally when we criticize, punish and shame ourselves.

Feed yourself with beautiful food, movement and care and you will physically create your version of healthy.

Emotional Eating Is & Isn’t About the Food✨ I

Emotional Eating Is & Isn’t About the Food✨

I want to share with you why emotional eating is and is not about food. I wanted to to dive a little bit deeper into this topic because when I work with clients, it’s really hard at the beginning for them to see how their emotional eating is not about food and the role food does play.

Usually my clients know there are emotions involved. They know something else is going on under the surface, but it doesn’t feel obvious. What you see on the surface is that you’re going towards food to soothe yourself. Every time you’re triggered, you’re going towards food.

Emotional eating is about the food and it isn’t about the food because we’re using the food to meet a need that it’s not meant to meet.

It can get a little complex so I’m going to try to keep it as simple as possible. Emotional eating is when we use food to soothe ourselves from any comfort or distress.

It seems odd we put the two together, doesn’t it?
Check out the video for more on why we do this..
