How to stop emotional eating without giving up your favorite foods
I hear you. I truly do. Food and eating and qualities and what and when and all the things are challenging, confusing and sometimes contradicting. There are a lot of voices out there. And then, layering on another element is the emotions we have surrounding our food.
Sometimes that can lead to guilt and shame, sometimes those can actually bring a smile to our face, and of course there’s several layers in between. Today’s guest, dietician Sallyanne Pisk is here in the most gentle way to help us navigate those emotions. I just feel my shoulders relaxing when I speak with her and appreciate her tender ways of bringing awareness to emotions associated with eating as well as what to do about that.
We discuss:
- Knowing yourself, knowing what nourishes you, and knowing how to deal with change
- Emotional eating and what that fully is (it’s not just crying in the pantry eating Oreos)
- The question to ask yourself as a starting point when eating
- The multiple drivers for eating
- The concept of “it’s all my fault” and how it’s not
- How lack of judgment, curiosity, and being open to self compassion can help your relationship with food
- The power of eating without interaction
- What to do when the thought of giving up the food rules seems scary
- The importance of being curious about why we think about food the way we do
- Defining what food enjoyment means too much
