Do you struggle with emotional eating? Many people do. Recognizing that emotional eating is deeply ingrained in us through both positive and negative eating patterns is an essential step in the healing process. Whenever something happens emotionally, we eat. For example, we eat and have meals around both weddings and funerals. The connection between emotions and food is always present.
We are taught to push emotions down with something else, and it’s often food and eating. Talking about our feelings is not always comfortable because confronting, feeling, accepting, admitting to our emotions can be uncomfortable, and it is easier for us to eat instead.
When we were children, we would often receive a sweetie or candy for an uncomfortable experience like the doctor or dentist or a cry. This reinforced the idea that candy/food will solve the issue.
Andrea Caprio is an expert in emotional eating, a master transformational nutrition coach, and Wellness the founder and CEO of Wellness Methods. She developed her Food Freedom Formula to help busy women who struggle with cravings and emotional eating lose weight holistically without dramatic changes to their diets or workouts.
We talk about the five steps for her Food Freedom Formula and how they can help you achieve long-term success by getting to the root of the situation and holistically heal emotional eating patterns.
