16. Why Am I Eating Things I Don't Want to Eat?

I got this on a call the other day with someone who wanted to work with me: “Where is this coming from that is telling me to eat things I don’t want to eat?” We call this desire to eat things we don’t want to many different things- cravings, emotional eating, stress eating, hormones, my husband won’t stop buying junk, but the way she put this I thought perfectly summed it “Where is this desire to eat things I don’t actually want to eat coming from?” It’s your brain. Always and only your brain. My clients know this well, they study it with me and work on it daily. But when you don’t know it, it feels like a mystery. And the truth is, no one is talking about it! Why? Because most of the weight loss advice out there centers on a list of foods you should eat…not teaching you how to look at your brain. So we think the list of foods could be the solution to us finishing off a carton of ice cream on the couch every night….even though we know it’s not, because we have tried that before and it didn’t work.
