Emotional Eating Tips - How To Tell the Difference Between Emotional Hunger and Physical Hunger

What this episode covers

It's extremely important to learn how to tell the difference between emotional hunger and physical hunger. if you have any hope of losing weight and keeping it off. Why? Because when the lines between emotional and physical hunger become blurred due to years of emotional eating, binge eating , and using food to cope with your day-to-day life then it's very common to never even feel physical hunger. The problem with not feeling physical hunger is the fact that your body does not need any food if your stomach is not physically hungry. You see, to put things in very simple terms, food is supposed to be fuel for your body; it's not supposed to be a coping mechanism for dealing with stress, anxiety, fears worry and failures you experience in your day-to-day life. Food is not supposed to be your lover, your best friend, your boyfriend, your cheating shame-filled weekend lover, or anything of the sort. Food is fuel for your body and your body only needs fuel when your stomach is physically hungry. How To Tell the Difference Between Emotional Hunger and Physical Hunger When you're stuck in a pattern of years of emotional eating, using food to try to deal with anything uncomfortable in life, then it's easy to keep eating, keep stuffing, and keep the cycle going. The thing is.... food is not supposed to be a one-trick pony for soothing any issue you experience in your day-to-day life. When your co-worker looks at you sideways, food is not supposed to be your anxiety cure. While you might feel a little better for 5 minutes after emotional eating, what are the long term consequences? How do you feel most of the time about yourself and about your body? You probably already know that you shouldn't be eating when you're not physically hungry, but knowing and doing are two separate things.

This is why I do the coaching that I do with my awesome coaching clients in The Inner Self Diet .
