Do you ever feel like you’re constantly thinking about food? You’re planning your next meal. You’re thinking, “is this food good or bad”? You’re constantly obsessing about food. There isn’t a moment when something about food doesn’t go through your head.
You walk past the mirror and think, “oh my god, I need to go on a diet”. And, you think about what you ate at your last meal and you feel guilty.
It’s exhausting.
This is what many people call food noise. And today I want to talk to you about where this food noise comes from for emotional eaters so you can understand what’s actually causing it – and realize that it’s not because you lack willpower.
Food noise is this constant chatter in your head. You always questioning what you’re eating, whether you should eat, whether you’re actually hungry.
It’s a constant micromanaging of your food.
Does this have too many calories? Did I eat too many calories?
If you’re trying to be healthy or follow a diet, it can even become:
Does this have enough protein? Enough macros?
It feels obsessive. It doesn’t feel like a normal amount of thinking about food. Like thinking about food because you’re truly hungry or planning out your meal. There’s no calmness around it.
In my experience, this food noise comes from two places when you’re an emotional eater.
