Why We Struggle with Emotional Eating When We Know It Isn’t Helping Us

Welcome to The Balanced Dietitian Podcast! I hope you are doing so wonderful. It is already mid-February. Last week I got to host another workshop on emotional eating. It was so good. I love to be able to teach about emotional eating because it really bridges my love of psychology and nutrition together. I feel this is a topic that has a lot of shame and guilt around it.  One of the themes that came out a lot at the workshop that I wanted to bring on this podcast is the idea that if I know that emotional eating is not helping me why do I keep doing it? A lot of hopelessness starts to set in when we feel out of control and can not stop.    In this episode, we discuss:  [03:38] If we know something doesn’t work for us, why do we continue doing it? [04:51] Food and emotions are deeply linked [07:28] Emotional eating is a often way we cope [09:32] Making peace with the fact that food has been our coping [12:02] The most impactful work you can do    Ready to heal your relationship with food FOR GOOD?
