When you emotionally eat you usually think you are

When you emotionally eat you usually think you are sabotaging yourself but what you’re actually doing is coping.

Emotional eating is a coping mechanism which means whenever any discomfort or distress comes up you turn to food to soothe and numb out.

This pattern would have been formed in childhood and repeated often which makes it automatic.

Our brain loves efficiency and this then becomes subconscious.

So if we were to think of our mind as 100%, 5% is our conscious mind. The part that wants to eat healthier and not emotionally eat.

95% is subconscious and is the part of you that when triggered will emotionally eat to deal with the stressors in your life.

Think about it: 95% is pretty powerful.

So you need to work with this pattern in a particular way.

Inside of The Emotional Eating Evolution Program we work with this pattern in the body in order to process, integrate and resolve it so that you can shift to a healthier way of being with:

Food
Your Body
And Your Emotions

Once you do that you will no longer “use” food. You’ll be resolving this pattern so that you start meeting your true needs vs. coping.

In my FREE LIVE Masterclass “The 3 Keys for Ambitious Women to Resolve Their Emotional Eating from the Root so that They can Finally Feel At Ease and Confident Around Food and in Their Body” I connect the dots so you can see that resolution is possible. The masterclass is on Wednesday June 7th at 12pm EST/9am PST. Comment “YES” and I will DM you the link to join.

When I was on my journey to resolving my emotional

When I was on my journey to resolving my emotional eating I tried everything to help…

I was trying to fit into the mold of how I should eat, should look, & should feel. I tried all the diets, personal training, rewriting my thoughts, the list goes on…all in an effort to feel accepted, ok, valued.

Those things didn’t help my emotional eating. I felt more frustrated when I couldn’t get to where I thought I should and would just spiral into more emotional eating.

This brought me to many low points where I knew I needed to do things differently. Because I was just doing the same things and expecting a different result. (That’s the definition of insanity btw).

It felt like there was this filter over my life, constantly on edge about food, criticizing myself, not feeling enough, second guessing, feeling physically uncomfortable in my body. I was not showing up to life in a way I wanted to.

I felt ashamed and embarrassed that I couldn't control myself...

On the outside I was coasting along, I was an analytical chemist, I had friends, I socialized BUT internally I felt less than, not enough.

The biggest rock bottom was when I moved to another country (Korea) for a year but that triggered my emotional eating even more.

I needed to shift the way I was relating to everything because I was just trying to force myself into this box without knowing why.

Looking back I realized that the paradox is that when we don’t criticize, overanalyze, restrict or control around food, our body and emotions…

This shift turns off emotional eating and turns on peace & ease along with

👉🏽improved health
👉🏽digestive issues go away
👉🏽More confidence and clarity
👉🏽weight releases
👉🏽self esteem and empowerment comes on line
etc

And we attain what we thought would fill us up but from a truer space. From acceptance rather than lack.

Inside of the Emotional Eating Evolution Program we resolve emotional eating from the root with a step by step process, support, guidance and somatic meditations specific to emotional eating. This is a transformational journey to connecting back to your true ease and confidence around food and in your body. Apply at the link in bio✨

3 Blocks that Are Holding You Back from Resolving

3 Blocks that Are Holding You Back from Resolving Your Emotional Eating✨

Today I want to share with you 3 common blocks that I see that women have that keep them from resolving their emotional eating.

These are blocks that I hear from women time and time again who’ve tried to resolve their emotional eating. They feel like they’ve tried everything. So nothing works.

This is an awful place to be in because when you feel like you’ve exhausted everything, you’ve tried everything and nothing’s working, you feel hopeless.

All the failures create evidence and doubt that nothing is going to work to resolve this.

It becomes more difficult to move forward with a solution that’s going to help you because you already feel like “what’s the point?”.

Check out 3 blocks I see holding back women from resolving their emotional eating.

Emotional eating is a coping mechanism which means

Emotional eating is a coping mechanism which means we use food to soothe ourselves or numb out from any discomfort or stress comes up in our life.

So we might be thinking “aha” this pattern is triggered by stress. So a lot of the solutions out there for stress management are still on the surface.

So we might be taking adaptogens, going to yoga, taking a walk, maybe even going to talk therapy. Doing things to help us mitigate our stress but this is still on the surface…

Because emotional eating is like and iceberg.

We’re just seeing the surface symptoms. The pattern has it’s roots in an unresolved situation, event or emotions that tend to come from childhood.

We need to dive in deeper and get to those roots, the unresolved emotions and patterns which are traumas and live in our body.

We need to access them at a somatic level in order to truly resolve them at the root.

Pull them out and then move forward in a new way.

Inside of The Emotional Eating Evolution Program we look at both levels of stress. Because now we need to support the body in real time as well as get to the deeper root and resolve it so it’s not perpetuating this again and again. We want to get off the hamster wheel of trying to plug the emotional eating hole.

Someone asked me why I was drawn to somatic work i

Someone asked me why I was drawn to somatic work in my practice…

Well for a few reasons. In my own emotional eating journey I would get to the root of my binges by doing a type of somatic meditation that I created through trial and error.

I created the process by piecing together meditations I had read about, focus, presence and understanding the emotional eating pattern and what was happening. This worked to help me stop emotionally eating over a year, combined with shifting my relationship to food and my body.

But what really got me into THE somatic work I now do was going through an intense period of emotional trauma after my son was born. My personal life shifted and with that so much came up to be resolved.

I had coaches, was doing reiki, and various meditations but at some point I was just floundering.

I couldn’t move forward, my body was stuck. And my main focus through all of this was to be a present mom - to not repeat patterns. I knew how I was BEING would deeply impact my son and I could not live with myself if I didn’t create the healthiest environment for him and give him the love and presence he deserved.

And that’s when the universe got me in touch with my mentor and with somatic work because the coaching I was doing could not go as deep as I needed. The 1st session was deep and profound and what I had been wanting for so long but couldn’t find.

I was able to finally access those deep parts of me and integrate them, shift patterns and feel energized to move forward. I felt more like myself on a whole new level…

I also felt it deep in my body in the ease and peace I felt.

Eventually I started to use a version of this with clients and then trained for over 2 years in this modality to fast track my clients’ success. I adapted it for emotional eating.

Somatic work is powerful but it also needs the right container around it to reprogram the actions we take moving forward that is why I created The Emotional Eating Evolution Program.

Emotional Eating and How The Body Plays a Role in

Emotional Eating and How The Body Plays a Role in Resolving It✨

I want to share with you how emotional eating, the body and trauma are connected and how we need to include the body in resolving this pattern.

A lot of the times when we are trying to resolve our eating we think we have to control our body, control food.

It’s almost like our mind is in charge and we forget about our body or we make our body our enemy.

We’re trying to control the body, but we might also go to the extremes of using pills or even surgery, thinking something is wrong with our body. We don’t understand how it’s all interconnected into this pattern.

This was something that I wasn’t aware of either.

Check out the video for more on how the body plays a role in resolving your emotional eating vs. willpower and how to be smart about working through this.

Question: “I only seem to be impulsively eating

Question: “I only seem to be impulsively eating at night. I am on target throughout the day and at night when I am tired I give in to my emotional eating”

What might be going on here:

1️⃣In this question I noticed was that this person used “on target”. This tells me there is some type of diet mentality or rules around food and the way they eat. When we have these rules we’re not usually connected to food. So we could be restricting throughout the day and not fully nourishing our body.

Of course I would need to see how someone is eating to assess this. But if that is the case this restrictive mindset and way of relating to food can be creating bingeing at the end of the day.

2️⃣The Second thing is that we are usually able to have willpower throughout the day and dismiss our triggers or issues that pop up. At the end of the day there is more space for all those emotions and unresolved issues to pop up in our psyche. As emotional eaters we automatically go to food to soothe and emotionally eat when this happens.

So the takeaways;

1.Are you nourishing yourself or restricting

2.Are you aware + resolving the triggers popping up.

What do your cravings mean when you emotionally ea

What do your cravings mean when you emotionally eat?

Emotional eating is when we use food to cope with our emotions. That sounds pretty simple, but sometimes it’s a bit nuanced, especially when it comes to cravings. We know we’re having an emotional eating episode when we are constantly craving the same food and the craving comes on pretty strongly.

Here’s what some of those cravings *might* mean, and the foods are usually processed:

👉🏽sweet; you might want to feel happy, comforted, or reward yourself.
👉🏽chocolate; need more love in your life, more self-love
👉🏽cheese or dairy products; need a change of state.
👉🏽fat; feeling empty or feeling loneliness.
👉🏽salty or crunchy foods; anger, frustration or stress.
👉🏽carbohydrates; comfort or may need an energy boost.
👉🏽Spicy; more excitement in your life or you want to feel like sated.
👉🏽coffee; an energy boost.

If you have a certain craving for these foods, they can give you an indication of what you *might* be needing or missing in your life.

I say might because this is a guideline! We have to do the deeper work to see what is really going on for you. And that lives in your body.

Because if you just say, “oh, I’m going to add more excitement into my life because I’m craving spicy foods” that’s kind of a bandaid solution. There are nuances specific to you.

Inside of The Emotional Eating Evolution Program we figure out:

1️⃣ Is it True or Emotional Hunger? (see link in bio for free guide)
2️⃣Are you nourishing yourself strategically OR bingeing out of restriction
3️⃣Resolving the unresolved Emotions/events creating this pattern so you can meet your true needs and move forward with more confidence and clarity (not use food to numb)

This is not about a quick tip that keeps you in the hamster wheel of coping but truly resolving this pattern from the root so you can meet your true needs, come back to more wholeness AND also feel at ease, free and confident around food.

Shifting from Coping to Resolving Emotional Eating

Shifting from Coping to Resolving Emotional Eating✨

I want to share with you why we shouldn’t be coping with our emotional eating, even if those coping mechanisms are “healthy”.

It’s possible to resolve emotional eating. We don’t need to keep on coping even if the coping is “healthy”.

The reason I want to emphasize this is that emotional eating itself is a coping mechanism. So when we are on this journey of emotionally eating, we just want to be free of the pain, we want relief. So we tend to do things to just give us that temporary relief from our emotional eating.

But what we need to realize is that emotional eating itself is a coping mechanism and we don’t want to transfer on coping mechanism for another.

Check you the video for more on resolution vs. coping, the areas you need to move through to resolve your emotional eating and the shift that happens in your nervous system.
