So why are you still emotionally eating?
Maybe you’ve gone to therapy. You know your patterns. You know your triggers and your wounds. You understand why you turn to food when you feel rejected, lonely, overwhelmed, criticized, or not good enough.
And maybe you can explain your emotional eating, but you’re still doing it.
You’re still reaching for food when you’re not physically hungry. That urge to go to food still seems to take you over. You might be wondering, “Why am I still doing this? I know about my patterns. I know why it’s happening. Why am I still here?”
The thing is, understanding your emotional eating intellectually doesn’t heal the pattern at the root. It doesn’t create embodied change.
You might have an intellectual or cognitive understanding of what’s happening. You might know why you go to food when you feel criticized or when you walk past a mirror, feel the shame come over you and get the sudden urge to eat.
You might understand these connections. You might talk about them in therapy, You might discuss your triggers and recognize patterns in your life.
So you have this awareness of what’s going on, and yet it is not stopping your emotional eating.
Why?
Because every time these situations happen, they trigger emotions, and you still turn to food to soothe yourself.
You’re still in the same loop.
