The First Step to End Emotional Eating

Jun 22, 2021

Emotional eating might seem like a heavy topic… in fact you likely have lots of ideas about what it is / isn’t.

Emotional eating doesn’t mean you wake up from a trance-like state with chocolate smeared on your face, crumbs running down your shirt, empty wrappers sprawled about. 

 

Emotional eating is simply any time you reach for food to avoid/distract yourself from a negative emotion. 

 

Most of the time, you’re not hungry when you’re emotionally eating - you’re simply looking to relax, unwind or destress.

Emotional eating is simply a habit you learned, which means it’s a habit you can unlearn! 

 

Right now your brain has determined that food is the most reliable, rapid and effective way of creating a sense of relief. That’s it. 

 

You’re not a terrible person, you’re not addicted to food, there’s nothing wrong with you - you simply are in the habit of eating to avoid negative emotions.
