It feels hard right now - you’re trying every Mond It feels hard right now - you’re trying every Monday to get your eating right.

But it becomes more and more difficult as the week goes on. 

It’s a challenge. It is…

And without the right process Mondays will keep you in that self defeating loop for years.

You’ll give up and not try. But that’s only temporary relief.

Then you’ll try again but you seem to hit a wall. Again.

I get it. That was me for years until I did something differently. I realized in life there are 2 challenges;

1. When we’re trying something new and we don’t have a competing reason for doing it - it’s challenging BUT we can eventually do it with enough practice. Like math for some folks.

2. But when we have a competing reason, a survival reason for doing something - we can’t override the pattern with sheer will power.

Emotional eating is the 2nd one - so no amount of willpower will change it. You have to do something different. You have to change the pattern at the root and for emotional eating that involves looking deeper at these areas:

-Truly nourishing your body so you can discern true from emotional hunger
-Accepting your body so you don’t shame spiral into emotional eating 
-Resolving your coping with food at the root in the body so food is no longer the bandaid and you finally meet your true needs

No willpower will address this. 👉🏽If you’d like the first step I give to clients to start resolving emotional eating and moving towards ease and peace then comment or DM “guide” and i’ll send over my free resource✨
Why Emotional Eating Persists Even When You’ve Don Why Emotional Eating Persists Even When You’ve Done the Work

So if you’re someone who’s disciplined, self-aware, who’s genuinely done the inner work, and it still feels like you struggle with emotional eating, and then this video is for you. 

And I just want to say it’s not because you’re lazy, undisciplined, or failing. 
There’s so much more to this.

I often see this in high functioning, ambitious women (a lot of my clients are like this), they show up, they do the work, they’ve been in therapy for many years. They’re trying to think positively. 

They’re doing all of this self- development, and yet it still feels like emotional eating is a struggle. 

So maybe you do all the right things, you reflect, you show up, you understand your patterns. It kind of makes sense to you, but still the emotional eating is not shifting. 

Let’s dive in to see what actually shifts your emotional eating. Comment or DM “persist” and I’ll send over the full video✨
I was so sick of my emotional eating that I moved I was so sick of my emotional eating that I moved countries…

Yep, I felt so out of control with food, and uncomfortable in my body that the only thing I felt I could do was move countries. Maybe starting fresh would erase it all!

Because I was tired with trying for years with the nutritionist, my therapist, personal trainer and chiropractor to shift this pattern with no real result.

So I moved from Canada to South Korea, stopped being an analytical chemist and taught english…

While it was a change -  my emotional eating intensified. 

I had no choice but to figure it out. 

I learned through a lot of trial and error and committing to figuring out this pattern what worked and what didn’t.

This path is not about a quick fix or a one off session. It’s about the journey.

If you’d like to grab the guide I wish I had to help me on the journey to resolving my emotional eating then comment or DM “guide” and I’ll send it over✨
I craved moments like this. To feel at ease and p I craved moments like this.

To feel at ease and peace with food. And now I do.

Because I learned to ride the waves of life, so that I’m not relying on food to save me.

Emotions are waves we must learn to ride. And Emotional eating is just that at the core…emotions we haven’t learned to ride.

Life will always be life: the ups, downs, challenges and chaos.

But we can learn to create a grounded centre for ourselves so we can meet our emotional needs not avoid them with food.

From Frantic with food, to quiet moments of enjoying them.

This is the true luxury.

Why Weight Loss Drugs Like Ozempic Don’t Stop Emot Why Weight Loss Drugs Like Ozempic Don’t Stop Emotional Eating (& What Actually Does)

if you struggle with emotional eating, at some point, you might have wondered, would this fix it? Maybe you’ve seen Ozempic or other weight loss drugs and thought “maybe this is a solution to my issue”. 

You see these drugs everywhere - on social media, in the subway, maybe even recommended by a doctor. 

And maybe you’ve thought “what if I suppressed my appetite? Would that stop the food noise? So, if my appetite is suppressed, the food noise is quieter, and I might actually be able to finally feel free around food.”

And before we go any further, this video is not about shaming you and it’s not about shaming those that choose to use medication. 

This is really about understanding why emotional eating doesn’t really go away, even when your appetite decreases or the weight comes off and what actually creates lasting peace and ease around food and in your body. Because emotional eating is not a hunger problem and it’s not a discipline issue.

You binged last night, again. You wake up tired, You binged last night, again.

You wake up tired, groggy, bloated and heavy. 

You need to show up, and you do.

And the pattern repeats the next day. (and it’s been years)

What happened?

Another day, the same cycle.

But you stay stuck because every day you say you’ll willpower out of. You’re determined to stop.

But you look back and it hasn’t. 

That’s because willpower and determination don’t get to the root of your emotional eating to shift it. 

Emotional eating is your safety blanket - you can’t *just* stop it.

It’s a process. And it’s what we do inside of The Emotional Eating Evolution Program. 

If you’re ready to stop this cycle then book in a clarity call to see how I can support you. DM “clarity” to chat✨
Every time you negotiate with the cupboard you get Every time you negotiate with the cupboard you get further from who you want to be. 

You’re ambitious, capable, determined and you show up all day. 

But at the end of the day you’re negotiating with the fridge, the cupboard, with your urges. 

How did things get so out of control?

And then you give in, and eat to relieve the spiral. 

Each time you do, you get further away from who you want to be. 

And that gap creates shame.

Why You Feel So Out of Control With Food (What No Why You Feel So Out of Control With Food (What No One Ever Explained to Me About Emotional Eating)

If you’ve ever found yourself thinking this about your emotional eating:

“Why can’t I stop going to food?”

“Why do I feel so out of control?”

“Why do I keep it together in other areas of my life?

But food just takes me over and I spiral and I just can’t seem to get a handle on it?”

And you’ve tried the diets, the personal trainers, the willpower, and it doesn’t seem to work for your emotional eating – you’re not broken, you’re not weak. This is not a willpower issue. 

What no one explained to me was that this pattern goes so much deeper.

The pendulum swing - why diets and intuitive eatin The pendulum swing - why diets and intuitive eating don’t help emotional eating. (And what does)

Emotional eating at the core is not a food issue.

So trying to control good is like trying to avoid the tip of an iceberg only to crash (we all saw titanic, right?).

But swinging from one style of control to another still has drawbacks.

Diets make you restrict which turns on food noise and when you fail, shame spirals. If you’re physically restricting food you’ll binge. If you’re shaming yourself you’ll soothe with food.

With intuitive eating, you’re listening to all “hunger” voices with no discernment or true or emotional hunger or way to resolve the root pattern.

Emotional eating is nuanced and part of resolving it is learning to truly nourish yourself, which becomes clearer as you heal the root of your emotional eating.

This is how you go from burgers and fries to craving fruits and veggies like one of my clients did.

And it’s what we do this inside of The Emotional Eating Evolution Program so you can get to ease + confidence around food and in your body.
