Here are the 3 things i did to stop my emotional e Here are the 3 things i did to stop my emotional eating👇🏽 (and feel confident and at ease in my body and around food) 1. I stopped dieting and restricting and started to nourish my body and honour my hunger. 2. I stopped trying to fit into the perfect “body box” and started to accept my body 3. I felt the emotional under my emotional eating and no longer looked to food to soothe me. It’s been over 10 years since I’ve emotionally eaten so I know it is possible for you. At the end of the day it’s about getting back to you - what nourishes you, accepting your body and feeling your emotions. If you’d like to dive in deeper I share more on these 3 keys in my free masterclass. 👉🏽Comment or DM “masterclass” to get the link✨
Emotional Eating is Not About the Food I know it Emotional Eating is Not About the Food I know it might be shocking (hopefully not if you’ve been here for a minute) that Emotional Eating is not about the food. Most of the solutions out there tell us we need to control food, that we are out of control with food because that is what we see. Honestly, when I was an emotional eater I thought it was about the food too. I was constantly trying to control food, control my body. Trying every diet, every restriction, anything I could get my hands on because I thought I was broken. Everyone else seemed to be able to control food and I couldn’t. This might be shocking to you but when I talk to women they think they just need more willpower. They just need to learn to control food. It’s not really about that – it’s about so much more. Emotions are a big part of this pattern along with trauma, unresolved events, people pleasing, boundary issues and the list goes on. There’s so much under the surface tied to Emotional Eating. So I’m sure you’re thinking. Why do we go to food then and how can we stop this cycle. 
👉🏽Comment or DM “food” and I’ll send you the full video.
You’re not born disliking your body. 💔 Somew You’re not born disliking your body. 💔 Somewhere along the way, we start to feel like something is wrong with it. Maybe it was shaming from others, feeling overlooked, or seeing a “perfect” image on TV. ✨ Those messages make us feel like we weren’t good enough. And if we didn’t have the right modelling from our parents or caregivers to move through this messaging —or worse, if they were the ones passing along these harmful ideas—it’s easy to believe we’re flawed. 💭 This is where the struggle with body acceptance begins… and often, it’s tied to unresolved shame and trauma. To cope, you turn to food. 🍕🍰 But it’s time to stop the cycle. We need to give ourselves the love and support we didn’t get growing up. It’s about getting to the root of the pain, moving through the shame, and finally accepting ourselves as we are. 💕 Because, truth be told, it was never about how we looked. We just wanted to feel loved and accepted. 💖 If you’re ready to shift this pattern and break free from emotional eating, comment “FREE GUIDE” or DM me, and I’ll send you a FREE guide to help you understand the difference between emotional hunger vs. true hunger—and give you tools to catch your triggers. 🙌✨
How Body Image Issues Trigger Emotional Eating 
 How Body Image Issues Trigger Emotional Eating 
💭 “I try to workout and eat well, but I just can’t. So I give up and grab takeout to feel better.” I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard this from clients—and honestly, I’ve been there myself. It feels like a constant battle, doesn’t it? You try to stick to your goals, but something always pulls you back in. It’s more than just food—it’s deeper than that. 👉 Why does this happen? 
We all want to eat well and move our bodies, but often, something deeper gets in the way. For many women, it’s rooted in a belief that if our bodies look a certain way, we’ll finally feel accepted and loved. These are basic human needs—but they are NOT meant to depend on our body’s size or appearance. When we tie our worth to our looks, and we don’t feel like we’re “there” yet, it can trigger shame. And shame often leads to emotional eating as a way to soothe ourselves. 💔 So, how do you break free from this cycle? 1. Identify your emotional eating triggers – What’s really behind your urge to eat when you’re not hungry? Is it stress, boredom, or something else? 2. Address the root cause – Dig into why you feel shame or pressure to look a certain way. It’s not about the food—it’s about what’s happening beneath the surface. 3. Accept your body – I know it’s hard, but the key to healing is learning to honor your body’s needs, without guilt or judgment. You deserve to treat yourself with compassion, not criticism. If you’re ready to start shifting this pattern, comment “FREE GUIDE” or DM me, and I’ll send over my FREE guide to help you differentiate between emotional hunger and true hunger—and give you tools to catch your triggers before they spiral. Remember, you deserve to feel at peace with your body, just as it is. 💖
Food Plays a Role in your Emotional Eating – but Food Plays a Role in your Emotional Eating – but not in the way you think! A lot of the times when we are emotional eaters we think food is the enemy. We have to control food, we have to figure out a way to manage food and not be at the whim of food. It can feel this way because it is a coping mechanism that when triggered is automatic. You might notice there are some seasons of your life that you can be ok with food and other seasons where you are completely out of control. And you might not be connecting the dots on why this is happening. Food becomes an issue when you are constantly in this Emotional Eating pattern which means it happening more than you would like it to. So why is this happening? 👉🏽Check out the full video for more. Comment or DM “food” and i’ll send it over.
Here are some of the biggest mistakes I see women Here are some of the biggest mistakes I see women with emotional eating making: 1.Relying on quick fix diets, intense exercise, willpower 2.Relying of the health system to fix the problem with pills, surgery or programs that don’t get to the root 3.Intuitive Eating 4.Going to therapy and just talking about things …And these are just some of the common ones. 
Emotional eating is complex and multilayered, and to truly resolve it, we need to understand it from all angles and get to the root. 
Your emotional eating is a coping mechanism. It’s connected to thoughts, emotions and stress. AND it’s tied into trauma which lives in the body. 
Which is why quick-fix solutions, which give you a temporary result, will never work long term. Because it won’t address the deeper layers to your pattern. Like my client recently said after trying all the diets and emotional eating programs - they didn’t get to the core...

Take a pill, have surgery, take a walk, try this d Take a pill, have surgery, take a walk, try this diet, fight the urge, go to Overeaters Anonymous… If only it were that simple.

 I’m so grateful I resolved this pattern before I had my son, so I could model a healthier relationship to food, to my body and my emotions to him. Because our children learn through who we are being vs. what we are saying. 
 This is about being the version of yourself you desire to be - a better parent and role model for your kids, a present partner, a leader, a true friend, showing up confidently at work and in your life and so much more.

Here’s why you can’t willpower your way out of Here’s why you can’t willpower your way out of your emotional eating. I get it. I’m a pretty disciplined person and I can willpower and push through and I did for years with all the things (diets, exercise, therapy, etc). I remember showing up day after day doing the things I was told and yet nothing was shifting - the affirmations, the re-writing thoughts, the healthy eating plan, the exercise plan, etc. Months and eventually years went by and there was no real dent in my Emotional Eating. I was still hitting up against the same wall and feeling like a failure. I just couldn’t make things stick. My clients are the same way. They think they need more “willpower” and they keep hitting up against the same wall. But this is simply reinforcing the belief that something is wrong with you. That you are not enough which couldn’t be further from the truth. Yes, it’s true we need willpower to make changes in our life and this can happen easily if we have no resistance to that specific change. Think about willpower as the tip of an iceberg - it has 5% power vs. your emotional eating pattern which is below the surface. It’s subconscious and has 95% power over your actions when triggered. Like when you drive a car, you don’t think about it and you get to your destination - automatically. That’s because it’s subconscious. If you want to have an impact on your emotional eating beyond just trying to willpower your way out of a binge you have to address the deeper underlying blocks with specific tools to shift the pattern. This goes beyond willpower. Join me at my upcoming FREE LIVE ONLINE 1-HOUR MASTERCLASS on Wednesday January 22nd @7pm EST “The 3 Keys to Resolve Emotional Eating for Ambitious Women So They Can Finally Feel Confident in Their Body & Around Food.” I’ll be sharing my expert insights and knowledge about the most overlooked underlying causes of Emotional Eating and how you can address it. I’ll be laying out the exact method I use to help my clients feel peace and ease around food and in their body. 👉🏽Click the link in my bio to get all the details and RSVP (replay sent out after!)✨
