How Avoiding Your Emotions Can Keep You Stuck in E How Avoiding Your Emotions Can Keep You Stuck in Emotional Eating👇🏽

What if one of the things keeping you stuck in your emotional eating is your desire to get away from your emotions?

So I want to tell you a story about a client of mine who came to me after using plant medicine because she wanted to change the way she felt about food and stop emotionally eating.

She had used plant medicine to help her with her emotional eating, and the medicine kept telling her the same message: she needed to figure out how to find ease, peace and oneness in real life – not just by using this modality.

I think there was something we often misunderstand about emotional eating. We feel like we must escape it. We want relief. Of course, it feels torturous to be eating food and feeling out of control.

You might realize you feel anxious, sad, or overwhelmed. And you don’t necessarily want to sit there and just feel all of that. You want it to stop.

And that’s exactly what food does. It gives you temporary relief. Much like that plant medicine journey gave my client relief, food is doing something very similar.

Let’s dive in to see how to start resolving emotional eating and not stay stuck. Comment or DM “stuck” and I’ll send you the full episode✨
Micromanaging food after emotionally eating is mak Micromanaging food after emotionally eating is making you eat more. 

I see this with my clients all the time…they feel out of control with food because they don’t eat well or overeat or emotionally eat and they think if only they cut back that would solve all their problems. 

They would lose the weight and finally feel confident.

But if it was so easy, it would be easy. But it’s not. 

Your willpower can’t outpower your emotional eating.

Without healing the root of your emotional eating you will default to food to cope. Because when you heal this pattern and meet your true needs then food can be food - no control needed. And your body as well. 

When you willpower and shame yourself for how you are eating that creates more urges to emotionally eat because you use food to soothe your discomfort, your feelings of “not good enough”, your unresolved emotions. 

But food is a bandaid. Controlling the bandaid doesn’t resolve this pattern. 

In order to resolve emotional eating you need to meet your deeper emotional needs when your emotional eating comes up. This is what we do inside of The Emotional Eating Evolution Program. 

If you’d like to get started on resolving your emotional eating then grab my free guide to start catching your pattern. Comment or DM “guide” and I’ll send it over✨
Why restricting food intensifies your food noise a Why restricting food intensifies your food noise and emotional eating…

When you emotionally eat - you feel out of control with food and restriction seems like the best solution. 

Restricting means you’re either avoiding hunger or limiting food which means you are not nourishing yourself. 

If your brain is starved for calories and nutrients it will say “eat more food” and you’ll have more food noise which can lead to bingeing (not quite emotional eating)

The other reason emotional eating intensifies? Is that you are taking away the only thing you have to help you numb or soothe your uncomfortable emotions when triggered. It’s a coping mechanism you would have had since you were younger. 

If you take it away it without meeting your true needs it’s like taking a safety blanket from someone - it triggers emotional eating even more because it’s a survival pattern. 

Both lead to more intense food noise and cravings for food. 

If you want to resolve your emotional eating and get to ease and peace around food and in your body you need to:

1.learn to nourish your body and 
2.meet your deeper emotional needs. 

This is what we doing inside of The Emotional Eating Evolution Program. If you’d like support in your journey then DM “clarity” chat more about the program✨
If I Had to Heal My Emotional Eating Again, I’d Ne If I Had to Heal My Emotional Eating Again, I’d Never Do These 3 Things

If I had to heal my emotional eating all over again, there are three things I wouldn’t do. And if you’ve done these things as well it’s not because you’re a bad person or you’re failing. It’s that we’ve been sold certain lies.

I experienced doing these things, and what I found is that when I was doing them, they kept me stuck in my emotional eating.

And I find with clients it’s really common for them to be doing these 3 things without even realizing it. It’s become automatic.

So today I’m going to share with you the 3 things I would stop doing if I wanted to heal my emotional eating again and what I’d do instead.

So, the first thing I would stop doing is dieting and restricting.

Let’s dive in. Comment or DM “3 things” and I’ll send you the full video with the other two✨
How do you get to ease and peace with food? If I How do you get to ease and peace with food? 

If I boil it down…my journey with food began around restriction, in an effort to control my body…because I was seeking love and acceptance.

I never felt good enough and was criticized a lot.

So I thought if I could get to “that place” I’d finally feel ok. I restricted food, only to use it to soothe my emotions. 

I tried so many things and what I tried didn’t help. The diets, the therapy, the nutritionist, the trainer…

When the noise got too loud I flipped my life upside down. I moved to Korea thinking I could start fresh, but I felt more out of control. 

So I decided to do things in a new way. I rolled up my sleeves and put my scientist hat on. 

I started to nourish my body, not restrict. 

I started to accept my body when I didn’t like what I saw in the mirror.

And I started feeling all the things that I tried to run away from.

And somehow that got me closer to what I was really craving - love and acceptance.

I didn’t expect my body to change but it did. I had more energy, better digestion, I wanted to workout, I felt more confident and my body started to let go of the mental and physical weight I was carrying.

I started to see food as food, not a bandaid, I started to live in my body not only focus on what it looked like and I started to meet my emotional needs and care for myself.

The result was the ease and peace I was looking for, but I got so much more than that. And this was the foundation to The Emotional Eating Evolution Program. 

Emotional eating is multilayered and in order to resolve it you need a process. If you’re looking for support DM “clarity” to learn more about how I can support you✨
Why you keep hitting the same wall (as an emotiona Why you keep hitting the same wall (as an emotional eater)

I recently spoke to a woman who had been working with a nutritionist for a few months, but she kept hitting the same wall.

She was still binging at night, she was blocked grocery shopping,  and wasn’t making time for meals.

She felt she was sabotaging herself. 

And this is what I help clients with - all of the things under the surface keeping you from taking the actions that would support you. The simple things like make a meal, eat when you’re hungry, move your body, etc.

But it’s not that simple when you’re an emotional eater you use food as a coping mechanism to soothe and comfort yourself which makes the simple todos harder.

When I work with clients in The Emotional Eating Evolution Program we’re resolving emotional eating at the root so you can start nourishing yourself, accepting yourself and moving through the emotions running the show. 

We’re clearing the blocks so you can get to ease and peace around food and in your body in a more effortless way.

The Diet Lie That’s Keeping You Stuck in Emotional The Diet Lie That’s Keeping You Stuck in Emotional Eating

What if I told you one of the biggest reasons you’re struggling with emotional eating isn’t about the amount of calories you’re consuming? It’s the way you’re thinking about your food.

For so many years, we’ve been taught that food is calories in equals calories out. Control this food. Move more. Eat less. Count everything. Eat this macro. Don’t eat this macro.

Essentially, control everything.

What if I told you that thinking this way is pulling you further from your body and further away from healing your emotional eating?

When you’re an emotional eater, typically what happens is that you are trying all of these diets to control food because that’s what you see on the surface. You feel out of control with food. You don’t feel like you have a handle on food. You see the scale creeping up. You don’t feel good in your body. Your health is deteriorating, and you’re like, “if only I could control the food.”

But that only looks at the surface. Food is really the last place you need to look. 

While it’s important to have a healthy relationship to food and to learn how to nourish yourself, it is not going to be the place that transforms your emotional eating.

You have to look deeper.

One of the hardest things I had to do to resolve m One of the hardest things I had to do to resolve my emotional eating…

Was to accept my body.

Because I used to think I had to fit into the box to be accepted, approved of and loved. 

And my story is no different to the women I work with. 

So I restricted food, went to the gym. But I also struggled with emotional eating. 

So when I reached my goal I thought I was “fixed” but it was fleeting. My feelings of not good enough came back along with my emotional eating. 

I had built my self worth on sand and it crumbled. 

I had to learn to accept my body as it was, to build up my enoughness from the inside. 

And paradoxically my body started to shift to its healthy. I didn’t have to effort with food or my body. I wanted to nourish myself and move my body because I was resolving my emotional eating. 

Food was no longer the enemy and could just be what it was food and my body could be a body without shame and move. 

This is part of what we work on inside of The Emotional Eating Evolution Program so you can get to ease and peace around food and in your body.

To resolve emotional eating you need to do the opp To resolve emotional eating you need to do the opposite of what you’re doing.

When I was trying to stop my out of control behaviour with food I thought I had to control my food, my body and my emotions. 

But it was the opposite. 

I had to shift from dieting and restriction and not listening to what my body was saying to learning when I was hungry and nourishing it. (And when I was emotionally hungry).

I also had to learn to accept my body right now! Not when I reached a certain body fat percentage of fit into a certain box. This acceptance helped to stop the shame spirals that would trigger my emotional eating. It also allowed my body to get to “my healthy”

I also had to learn to move through my emotions. When I was in therapy I didn’t actually understand my emotions, I was taught to flip my thoughts not get to the root. I had to learn to get to the root of what what triggering my emotional eating (unresolved emotions) and resolve them so I would stop using food as a bandaid.

I literally had to unlearn all the thing I thought I had to do the finally feel ok with food and in my body. 

And this was was much less painful and in the long run it’s effortless because I actually looked at the root and resolved it. 

And it’s what I teach my clients in The Emotional Eating Evolution Program. If you’d like support in your journey then book in an emotional eating clarity call to see how I can support you in the program. DM or comment clarity✨
