“If someone had just told me…” 

Back when I was an emotional eater, I thought my issues with food had solely to do with food itself. So for years I made valiant attempts to eat super healthy, cook all my meals, portion control, burn calories, etc. 

But, my efforts focusing on fitness and nutrition always missed the mark. 

Which meant I stayed trapped in the emotional eating cycle for years. 

Much longer than I needed to IF I had just known the truth. 

If someone had just told me that my issues with food were called compulsions and helped me see that I using food to cope. 

If someone had just told me that in order to change I would need to shift my focus to the INNER work… 

Well, I would have overcome my emotional eating a lot sooner. 

I would have avoided years of investing my time, energy, and resources in mis-matched solutions.

While I can’t go back and re-do the past, I choose today and every day forward, to help other women escape the emotional eating cycle a lot faster and easier than I could. 

So I put together this video highlighting a few other misconceptions that our society believes about emotional eating. 

As you watch this, I invite you to reflect on these questions: 

– Have you heard any of these before?

– Do you, yourself, believe any of them?

– How might these beliefs be enabling your emotional eating? 

Watch this with compassion in your heart and curiosity in your mind. 

In service to your freedom,

P.S.  Beyond food, what other areas of your life are you being guided to let go of the past and choose to do things differently today?
