Chili marinade or sauce; you decide!

Ok, I am obsessed. Remember how I said I would most likely choose raw food over cooked food if given the choice. Well my love of raw veggies is reaching new heights. I recently got 2 new cookbooks (or uncook books) that I have been eyeing for a while. The photos, err...

Why controlling food makes emotional eating worse👇 Why controlling food makes emotional eating worse👇🏽

There’s a part of you trying to control food because you feel out of control and just want to feel “normal”.

And there’s a part using food to meet your emotional needs. 

So there’s an internal war.

When you start to control food and restrict you are depriving the part of you that has emotional needs and only knows to have them met through food.

That part doesn’t like it, it’s a survival part and it’s powerful when triggered. It has 95% power over your actions. 

Unless you’re working to meet your true nourishment and emotional needs  the emotional eating part will take over and win. 

We work with these parts inside of The Emotional Eating Evolution Program so that you don’t have to control food, and you are meeting your emotional needs so that you start to feel ease and peace around food and in your body.

Without control.

Emotional Eating Feels like a Food Problem But It’ Emotional Eating Feels like a Food Problem But It’s Just a Symptom of Something Deeper.

If you think emotional eating is about the food, think again. Most women are trying to fix a symptom, and they’re not actually resolving it at the root. I get it. I’ve been there, too. I struggled with emotional eating, and my clients have as well. 

So emotional eating can feel like it’s a food problem, because you see yourself feeling out of control with food. You’re eating large quantities of food and constantly thinking about the food, but it’s just the symptom. 

There’s so much more going on at the root. When I was struggling with emotional eating, I thought the same thing too. I thought if I found the right diet, if I exercised enough, I would fix this. Then I got a bit smarter, and thought that if I went to therapy, that would help, but nothing seemed to really hit the nail on the head. 

What I discovered after hitting rock bottom, moving to Korea and having to figure this out was this.

Your life looks successful on the outside but you Your life looks successful on the outside but you secretly hide how out of control you feel with food.

I remember sitting down w a box of cookies, feeling sad.

I didn’t know what else to do. 

Other times I’d eat in a trance like I was possessed. Waking up only to feel like something took me over. Not even realizing what I was feeling. 

The outside read differently. I was an A student, I excelled academically. TA’ed chem in university, worked with profs, got a job as a chemist out of university.

But I struggled.

Each time I felt more out of control, I tried to control it more. Each episode chipped away at my already low confidence. I just never felt good enough even when things looked “together”.

When I finally learned I was an emotional eater things clicked. My patterns made sense. I saw how it didn’t start with food or my body but it impacted both… and my confidence.

The first step was learning to see my patterns and triggers.

Emotional eating is the tip of the iceberg and typ Emotional eating is the tip of the iceberg and typical solutions only target this  layer. 

This keeps you managing your pattern vs.resolving it.

The typical solutions to help with emotional eating don’t shift the pattern at the root. 

So controlling your hunger with special diets, restriction for food rules is temporary.
Using intuitive eating, personal training or even therapy just helps with symptoms vs. shifting the actual pattern at the root.

Most of my clients struggle with their emotional eating and I did too after trying many solutions.

I did all the things and when I finally started resolving the root that’s when it all shifted. 

Emotional eating is driven by unmet needs, childhood patterns, unprocessed emotions, stress and discomfort. 

When you heal emotional eating at the core you shift from using food as a bandaid to feeling at ease and confident around food and in your body in a sustainable way. 

We do this inside The Emotional Eating Evolution Program through:
👉🏽True nourishment to discern true from emotional hunger and catch triggers
👉🏽Body acceptance so you resolve the shame spiral that triggers emotional eating
👉🏽Emotional Wellness where you get to the root to heal and meet your needs so you are not longer reaching for food. 

If you’d like to start resolving your pattern and catching your triggers then comment or DM guide and I’ll send you my free resource.
Emotional Eating - The Invisible Wall Holding you Emotional Eating - The Invisible Wall Holding you back from your Goals.👇🏽

Emotional eating can feel like an invisible wall that’s holding you back from your goals. And if you’re an ambitious woman, you’ve probably been trying all the things to help you move past this wall. It can be frustrating because you can succeed in many areas of your life, but this one thing keeps derailing you and you keep falling back into emotional eating.

So why do you keep hitting this invisible wall?

It probably feels like you keep bumping into this wall whenever you’re trying to meet certain goals.

Maybe you start a new plan, you’re trying to be consistent and to just feel OK in your body and around food. You are disciplined and using your willpower, but it doesn’t work. You end up back in the emotional eating spiral.

So this wall and moving past it isn’t really about willpower or discipline. It’s so much deeper than that.

So what is this invisible wall really about?

Are you outsourcing your ease and peace to food? Are you outsourcing your ease and peace to food?

It can feel easier or even automatic to grab food when the discomfort, distress and triggers of the day come around. 

It’s hard to be with what is driving the urge to emotional eat and most of the time you want to look for something outside yourself.

The key is having guidance to look back to the root.

It actually saves time to move through the discomfort than to let it uncomfortably linger and then spiral you into emotional eating.

Shame doesn’t announce itself. 
It disguises itsel Shame doesn’t announce itself.

It disguises itself as self-improvement.

If food has been your way of coping, there’s nothing wrong with you.

The shift begins when you stop chasing acceptance by abandoning yourself and start understanding what created the pattern.

✨ I created a free guide to help you begin this process.

You don’t need to fix yourself.
You need support to shift this pattern.
From Daily Emotional Eating Binges to Calm and Eas From Daily Emotional Eating Binges to Calm and Ease - Kelly’s Journey👇🏽

Today I wanted to share a client spotlight. If you’ve ever felt trapped in your emotional eating and like nothing’s working no matter what you do, this is going to be helpful. You’ll see how it’s possible to go from daily emotional eating binges to calm and ease. 

I’m going to be sharing my client Kelly’s journey: how she went from daily bingeing to resolving her emotional eating and feeling at ease and confident in her body and around food. I’m going to share exactly how we did that using The Emotional Eating Evolution Program Framework. 

So when Kelly first came to me, she had been bingeing daily for about a year and a half, even while being in therapy for around 3 years.

In the past she had a tried Weight Watchers reached her goal weight, but soon started experiencing emotional eating and started gaining weight. Her results were built on a foundation of sand and she had no motivation to maintain them.

Before she reached out she was being pressured by family to go on weight loss medication (Ozempic). 

But deep down, she felt there had to be another way, one that didn’t involve being on prescriptions for the rest of her life.

What does emotional eating cost you?
(Beyond the e What does emotional eating cost you?
(Beyond the extra food.)

I remember how I felt after an episode of emotional eating.
Low. Heavy. Ashamed.

Emotional eating doesn’t just cost money - it quietly costs you:

Your confidence
- It erodes it through shame
-You lose trust in yourself
- You start to feel behind or broken

Your inner safety
- An internal war between discipline and collapse
- White-knuckling all day, giving in at night
- Succeeding on the outside, chaos with food behind the scenes

Your mental space
- Constant thoughts about food
- Negotiating, planning, replaying
- So much energy spent managing yourself

Your sense of freedom in your body
- Feeling trapped instead of at ease
- Disconnected instead of trusting

These are heavy costs to carry especially when you’ve been paying them for years, or decades.

I see this with my clients, and I lived it myself.

What I didn’t realize until I began resolving my emotional eating
was just how much weight I was carrying internally.

Emotional eating isn’t a willpower problem.
It’s a sign that food has been doing an emotional job for you.

Inside The Emotional Eating Evolution Program, we work at the root 
so food no longer has to be your regulator.

We focus on:
👉🏽True nourishment
👉🏽Body acceptance
👉🏽Emotional wellness

So ease and confidence around food becomes your normal, not something you manage.
