Healing from Emotional Eating vs. Losing Weight

What this episode covers

You will not sustainably lose weight long-term if you have not healed your emotional eating. Weight loss feels like it should be the goal… but really, it isn’t. If you eat emotionally, if you turn to food as a coping mechanism, then the hard truth is... no diet, no counting calories, is going to help you lose weight and keep it off for good. Even if you lose weight at first, your current behaviors with food and eating will not go away. Instead, the true goal is to heal from emotional eating, and our journey of healing is not the same as our weight loss journey. Let’s work to create a body image that we love and feel safe in and feel confident in… Explore how on this week’s episode of Emotional Eating Unwrapped. You can learn more and get some great resources to help you heal from emotional overeating on my website at www.bewellbyak.com.

Empowered by Darkness Andrea Medina Hi, I’m Andrea Medina. Though I’m in my early 20s, the history of relational trauma in my family lineage coupled with my own father’s abuse and abandonment, has instilled in me a self-awareness and sensitivity to emotions from a young age. I was born in México and raised in Compton, a community where I didn’t have many mentors or influences that pointed me in the direction of emotional healing work. Still, I went on to publish The Energized Self: A Journey to Interconnected Healing, a book that is half memoir and half conversations with trauma survivors at the age of 22. This same year I began my public speaking journey and my master’s program to become a Marriage and Family Therapist.As I find myself rising to fulfill my soul’s calling today, I am still in the same location where conversations like the ones had in this podcast aren’t common. I’m also faced with a myriad of economic and social challenges that I know listeners will relate to. My goal is that
