I wanted to share a client case study of RA’s be

I wanted to share a client case study of RA’s before and after The Emotional Eating Evolution Program.

My client RA joined the program after feeling frustrated, discouraged, out of control, confused and sad. She had tried various diets, workouts, and a food freedom program to help with her emotional eating that spanned a couple of decades. She was also in intensive therapy and nothing had worked to shift her Emotional Eating.

She would binge on low calorie foods and could feel she was just putting a band-aid on her long standing issues. Because of her upbringing she was turning to food to heal her emotions.

AFTER

* “The program made me more aware of why I was turning to food and helped dive deep into the areas of my life that needed to be healed.

* “The program also gave me tools to use to help me continue to learn how to not turn to food when I’m feeling emotional or sad.”

* “I feel a lot more hopeful, aware and that I have the tools to tackle the binge eating.”

* “I’ve noticed that I’m more comfortable in my body.” 

“Working with Michelle helped me understand the root of my emotional eating and gave me the tools to break patterns that began in my childhood. I’m excited to continue applying what I’ve learned and to take meaningful steps toward caring for my body.”

Resolving Emotional Eating is a journey and once you understand the root and have the tools there is no looking back. While in the 12 week container RA was able to see a shift in her emotional eating by following the step by step process, being supported, having weekly guidance and resolving the root with the in depth tools like somatic meditations. She can now recognize triggers and use the tools to resolve them, meet her true needs and not use food as a band-aid.

Emotional Eating Triggers – How to Use Them to R

Emotional Eating Triggers – How to Use Them to Resolve this Pattern👇🏽

Triggers are so important to finding your Emotional Eating pattern and to dive in deeper into what is really going on for you.

A lot of the times when you emotionally eat what you see is the tip of the iceberg – the actual eating, going towards food or waking up after a binge.

We see the “episode” of emotional eating with the food we consumed and want to control food.

But this is the after-effect of a trigger. Something triggered you and made you automatically go towards food to soothe yourself.

When I was going through my Emotional Eating journey this is what I saw too – food as the thing I wanted to control.

I would try to stop myself, grasping at the possibility. Then feel so much shame after thinking:

“Why did I do that?”

“Why can’t I stop myself?”

“Why do I feel hungry all the time?”

“Why do I feel so out of control?”

If you try to stop your Emotional Eating in that moment and don’t realize there are triggers you are going to get stuck.

Let’s dive in. Comment “triggers” and I’ll send the full video over✨

Coping vs. resolving?👇🏽 How would you like

Coping vs. resolving?👇🏽

How would you like to live - to keep on emotionally eating and using short term tactics that don’t work and stay stuck in this cycle?

OR do you want to break out of the loop and actually get to ease and peace around food and in your body?

Coping means you will keep using food to soothe and distract from the discomfort you feel. This means the diets, exercise plans, even talk therapy, going for a walk, taking a shower, fighting urges etc will keep you in the loop of coping because you will eventually give in and emotionally eat. Been there done that. You will continue to obsess about food and your body.

Resolving means you want to meet your deeper needs and find solution and stop using food as a substitute. Here you get to ease and peace in your body and around food because you are giving yourself the real deal - what you need on a core level that food cannot meet.

I know what I would choose but back in the day I didn’t know this was an option. I tried all the tactics, the diets, the exercise, talking about my life not realizing I was on the surface and it wasn’t impacting the root of my emotional eating. The root of my emotional eating boiled down to specific unresolved emotions, traumas and events that were keeping me in this vicious cycle on a body level. And it’s the same for my clients as well.

Once I realized this I was able to resolve my emotional eating in a sustainable way. It’s been over 10 years since I’ve emotionally eaten and now I share this process with my clients as well.

👉🏽Ready to resolve your emotional eating from the root? You need to know the embodied difference between true vs. emotional hunger and catch what triggers you into emotional eating. Grab my free guide to get started - comment or DM “guide” and I’ll send it over✨

When you emotionally eat you think - “I’ll be

When you emotionally eat you think - “I’ll be worthy when…”

I can control food
I don’t eat so much
I can wear this
I can have this
I look this way

Nope.

You are worthy now and until you realize this those things will never give you worth you will be stuck.

You need to remove all the limiting beliefs and traumas creating this way of thinking.

If you do get to that “magical place” through dieting, over exercising, willpower and restriction without resolving the root the results will be fleeting.

I’ve been there and so have my clients. I should have felt worthy but I didn’t. In retrospect it was a good place to be because I realized there was no magic bullet. The path requires dedication and the deeper work.

Resolving Emotional Eating is about creating a new way that works long term that is built on a solid inner foundation.

👉🏽So shifting from quick fixes, diets, restriction to true nourishment (no more unnecessary bingeing)
👉🏽From shaming and not accepting the body to acceptance (which stops emotional eating triggers)
👉🏽And from coping with emotions to processing them and meeting your true needs. (stops triggers and you resolve the pattern).

Everything that we’ve been taught goes against what we need to get to true ease, peace and confidence around food and in our body.

Your Internal Mind-Body Battle is creating Emotion

Your Internal Mind-Body Battle is creating Emotional Eating

There is this battle between your mind and body when you’re an emotional eater.
It’s something you might feel but not be able to pinpoint and describe.

When I was struggling with Emotional Eating I couldn’t put this into words but this is what I felt and see in my clients as well.

If I reflect back on my journey it felt like there was this battle between my mind and my body. This is one way to start looking at Emotional Eating because it feels like this internal battle.

Our mind says we should eat a certain way, we shouldn’t be overeating, we shouldn’t be emotionally eating, it sounds very judgemental, and critical.

AND our body is going towards the food, emotionally eating and doing things we don’t want it to do.

There is this internal battle constantly happening. And that doesn’t leave any space for ease, peace or confidence in the direction we need to take.

So in order to resolve your Emotional Eating you need to stop this internal battle and bring these 2 parts of you together. 👉🏽Check out the full video for more. Comment “resolution” and I’ll send it over✨

Emotional eating is not about food Shocking, I kn

Emotional eating is not about food

Shocking, I know. So what is it really about?

It’s about emotions

It’s about trauma

It’s about boundaries

It’s about people pleasing

It’s about triggers

It’s about you automatically using food as a bandaid to soothe yourself from any discomfort because your deeper needs weren’t met as a child.

You weren’t modelled how to move through discomfort and get to resolution.

So every diet you try will fail you, working out, talk therapy, etc because it is not getting into this deeper layer and meeting your true emotional needs.

👉🏽If you’re ready to get a handle on this pattern you need to start discerning true from emotional hunger and catching your triggers. Comment “guide” to get my free resource on doing just that✨

“Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, aw

“Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” — Carl Jung

This quote is something I live by. It’s true. There is no real change without going within. It wasn’t until I really sunk into my Emotional Eating pattern that I was able to transform it.

If I just stuck to the outside strategies (like diets, personal training, willpower, talk therapy, etc) I wouldn’t have healed my Emotional Eating. Trust me I love a good strategy and can willpower my way. It’s what I thought I needed to do to get to the other side…

Force my behaviour to change from my mind. But it’s not about that, its’ about what’s driving the behaviour. It’s in the body in the patterns that are running the show.

Early on I noticed triggers then intuitively started to check into my body. To get to the root and things started to shift. It wasn’t in rewriting my thoughts, or sticking to a plan that got me to resolution. There were things hidden in my body I couldn’t “think” of running the show. So I had to transform it there, accept it there, integrate it there and get to what I truly needed.

That’s when change really happens.

I can force a behaviour and do the “right” things but without an embodied change there is no real change. The body is that powerful (remember the subconscious patterns, like Emotional Eating, have 95% power and live in the body)

It’s why my program is about the deeper work. Yes I give you a structure but it’s to help you see where you are stuck on a deeper level.

It’s meant to get to your root cause of Emotional Eating and to build a structure that feels good to you.

Moving through these 3 main phases to get to the root:
Food -> True Nourishment
Body -> Body Acceptance
Emotions-> Emotional Wellness

This is the process to get to ease and peace around food and in your body in a sustainable way.

The Roots of your Emotional Eating Live in the Bod

The Roots of your Emotional Eating Live in the Body.

Usually what I see in women is that they’re trying to resolve their Emotional Eating by using their mind. Trying to think their way out of it, to figure it out. Maybe that looks like changing your mindset and trying new ways of doing things.

But it doesn’t seem to shift the pattern on a deep level.

This is because the roots of this pattern live in the body because Emotional Eating is a coping mechanism that was created because of unresolved trauma.

Trauma just means that you went through a situation or event where you were left feeling unresolved because you weren’t able to process or move through your emotions, your discomfort or stress and find resolution to meet your true needs.

So, you had to cope and food became the outlet for that coping.

Food can numb the discomfort, soothe the pain, and seems like the best solution at the time.

👉🏽Let’s dive in and get to the root in the body so that you can have sustainable ease + peace around food and in your body. Comment “root” and I’ll send over the full video✨

Emotional Eating Trigger Series: Triggered at Holi

Emotional Eating Trigger Series: Triggered at Holiday Events
 
The holidays can bring up a lot of Emotional Eating triggers especially with family members making (unsolicited) comments. One of my clients would have comments about her body trigger her.
 
In the past she would overeat at these events in order to soothe her shame.
 
Since she was in The EEE Program before these holidays she was able to be proactive! This is key with Emotional Eating to tackle triggers and resolve them in advance so you know how to navigate these times!

We used past incidents as the trigger to get to the root in her body and resolve it. We met her emotional needs for acceptance, being seen and validation in an embodied way. And her true boundaries emerged of having a specific time for an event, boundaries and doing the mediations before to be in a solid calm state.
 This meant she felt more embodied confidence when advocating for her needs, and speaking up if someone commented on her body to let them know it was not ok (boundaries!).

She was able to move through the holidays with more ease, peace and confidence because she knew how to tackle triggers, was able to nourish her body and find acceptance.

👉🏽If you’d like to get started on catching your triggers this holiday season then grab my free guide to start discerning true from emotional hunger and catching triggers. Comment or DM “guide” and I’ll send it over✨
