What you need to understand about emotions as an emotional eater…

The word “emotional” is right there in the name “emotional eating,” so it’s clear that it’s deeply tied to our emotions. But I don’t think we always recognize just how deeply connected it is.Emotional eating is a coping mechanism. It’s a way we deal with our emotions when they arise. We use food as a band-aid — a way to soothe ourselves and distract from what we’re feeling because we don’t know how to deal with those emotions directly.This pattern likely started in childhood. When we’re young, we rely on our parents and caregivers to model how to move through discomfort and hold space for us. We need them to show us how to transition from an emotional state to a calm, rational one.Let’s dive in:1:36 — Why we need this guidance when we’re younger2:16 — How not having our emotional needs met leads to emotional eating3:02 — What emotions are really helping us do4:09 — What’s missing when you emotionally eat4:50 — How do we resolve this pattern7:30 — Next steps and resourcesFREE RESOURCES👉FREE Guide: What Are You Truly Hungry For?https://lallnutrition.com/free-training-sm/👉Find out more about The Emotional Eating Evolution Program here: https://bit.ly/EEEprogram👉Check out the blog post here: https://lallnutrition.com/what-you-need-to-understand-about-emotions-as-an-emotional-eater/LET’S STAY CONNECTED» Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lallnutrition/» Website: http://www.lallnutrition.com» Blog: http://www.lallnutrition.com/blog
