It’s not about the food🍩🍪🍫

Do you ever find when you’re avoiding something that the first thing you do is check the pantry, the fridge or grab sugar? 🍫🍩🍪

Just like all of the other uncomfortable emotions, leaning into sugar to avoid or procrastinate is very common 💯💯

Every time I would open up my laptop, I would reach for something that would either reward me for getting the work done or help me avoid getting started 😳😳

Sometimes I was just fearful of starting a project because I didn’t know what I was doing other times it was just boring work. I didn’t want to get done ☹️

Giving up sugar feels sad and it’s hard.

I know… You probably think what I thought

👉that you just have to stay away from sugar or diet your way out of those cravings.

The reality is those cravings are sending you a signal that there’s something that you need emotionally.💕

Until you can sit with those emotions or find out what you’re avoiding, food is the fastest way to feel better.💥

Scarfing it down?

If you are a fast eater, you are possibly an emotional eater. 🍕🍩🍫

When you eat too fast, your hunger hormones can’t catch up and you don’t know you’re full until it’s too late. You may also dig right into the sugar after your meal if you don’t feel satisfied.

Learning to slow down and enjoy your food is actually an art and takes practice.👏👏

👉I know weight loss is the only thing on your mind, but enjoying your food, feeling full before you’ve had too much and enjoy enjoying your food is amazing🙌🙌🔥🔥

If you’re an emotional eater, there are some very unhelpful pieces of advice out there.🤪🤪

👉Food is fuel
👉Have only three bites
👉Don’t have it in your house
👉Drink more water
👉Just count your calories

Let’s be real… Not everybody can just cut off food like that.
👇👇👇
The reality is emotional, eating revolves around your stress, loneliness, boredom and other emotional factors

Plus👇

Biological factors like your hormones, which are going crazy over 40.

If you want to dig deeper on the emotional eating and learn how to have peace with food in your body in menopause and beyond, I invite you to our community.

Moderation. 😳I really hate that word when it comes to eating, especially for women who are stressed out, overwhelmed and use food to feel better.🍫🍕🍪

Just use moderation☹️

That’s almost an insult.💯

Not everyone is built the same way and not everyone can diet their way out of their eating issues.👏👏

If you are a midlife woman, you are also dealing with hormone changes and insulin resistance, which make moderation with food very challenging. I feel this and have been through it.

You would have stopped by now, if it was about the food.💥

That’s what diets are for and clearly they do not work.💯

Food lights up something in your brain that makes you feel so much better whether we you are hurting, bored, or annoyed.

It’s not that easy just getting it out of the house because it is so available.
👉You can just go out and get it anytime you feel like you need your fix.

I’m expendable.🤪

I don’t mean that in a bad way, but I really don’t have to be responsible in my mind or physically for every single thing around me.☹️

I definitely made myself a little too important and was running around with my hair on fire🔥

When I started to slow it down and take a break and pause, I was able to be more mindful rest my body, and also stay out of the food at night

Sis, it’s not about the food!🍕🍪🍫

You think your cravings and digging into the sugar is about you having no willpower or needing to keep that food out of the house.

💥💥💥It’s more about what you really need.

Eating all the sugar in your pantry is not always related to you being bad with food or bad with dieting.

You may be using food to comfort or soothe yourself. You may be using it to cover up uncomfortable feelings.

When we don’t feel worthy or loved, the food doesn’t judge.

The food is always there and it makes us feel good.

But I know it’s bothering you. Not only are you affecting your weight, but you feel out of control.🍪🍫🍕🍩

Start with the awareness. And give yourself grace. 💕

Maybe you don’t need another diet.
👇👇
You already know what to eat.

💥So why do you keep eating when you’re not hungry?☹️
💥Why do you lose control at night?
💥Why do you keep promising yourself, “Tomorrow will be different”?

If this were just about food, you would’ve solved it years ago.💯

👉👉Emotional eating isn’t just about food.

It’s about stress.
It’s about perfectionism.
It’s about people pleasing.
It’s about using food to comfort yourself when life feels overwhelming.

In this week’s podcast, Dr. Andrea Maxim and I have one of the deepest conversations I’ve had about emotional eating, food noise, self sabotage, and why your body may be holding onto weight for reasons that have nothing to do with willpower.

If you’re tired of blaming yourself and you’re ready to understand what’s really driving your eating, this episode is for you.❤️
