162 - The Truth About Self-Sabotage (it’s not what you think)

Food isn’t just a coping mechanism to feel better in the moment, it’s how your body has learned to regulate your nervous system.  So when you “take away the food” with most diets, you’re not just taking away the quick hit of dopamine or momentary sense of pleasure…  You’re taking away the primary way your body has learned to cope, relax, and self-soothe on a deep level.  This is where “self-sabotage” often comes into play, but I want you to start thinking about it in a new way.  Because it’s really a form of self protection.  Keep listening and learn how to shift out of negative thought patterns, so that you can lose weight and end emotional eating for good.    PS - Did you hear I’m hosting a brand new free workshop?! “3 Myths of Holiday Weight Loss + How to Break Free” Get all the details and register here   https://workshops.bodyyoucrave.com/3-holiday-myths Still need to download your free End Emotional Eating Tool?
