Over the days (or years 😉) we’ve been connected, you’ve heard many different versions of my personal story with emotional eating. But today, I’m thrilled to share personal stories, insights, and inspiration from the 13+ years I’ve been self-employed.

• What was my life like before I started my business?
• How did I get my business off the ground?
• What was my business called before it was Escape From Emotional Eating?
• How do I still not resonate with being called an entrepreneur, even after 13+ years in business?
• What does my relationship with being bold, assertive, and going after what I want looks like without it coming at a high cost to my health?

The answers to these questions will surprise you - listen here!

I even share personal stories from way back when I was teaching fitness classes full time to how I filled my practice without even having a website, and so much more. 🤭

I’m also delighted to introduce you to my dear friend and fellow entrepreneur, Marrin Costello.

Food is not just sustenance; it’s wrapped in layers of emotion and memory, often becoming a coping mechanism for stress, sadness, or even joy. The recent episode of our podcast featuring Jessica Procini, the founder of Escape from Emotional Eating, delves into the complex relationship we have with food, beyond its nutritional value.

Jessica opens up about her personal battles with food, tracing back to her childhood. Granola, for example, was more than just a healthy snack—it was a source of comfort and a means of escape. Such seemingly innocent foods can take on significant emotional weight, demonstrating that knowledge of nutrition is not a shield against emotional eating.

Throughout the episode, Jessica and the host discuss the shame and secrecy often intertwined with eating habits and body image. It’s a candid conversation about the emotions that drive us to the pantry or the fridge, the same emotions we must confront and understand to heal.

Jessica introduces us to the tools she’s developed to cope with emotional hunger. Techniques like ‘fear flesh’ and ‘digesting emotions’ serve as strategies to manage intense feelings without resorting to food. By identifying the root causes of emotional eating, such as family dynamics or past traumas, we can begin to untangle the threads that lead us to overeat or seek solace in food.

A particularly poignant part of the episode is the discussion on the illusion of control through food. Jessica talks about trusting our natural hunger and fullness signals, which often get overridden by societal cues or ingrained habits like the ‘clean plate club.’ Learning to listen to our bodies, rather than relying on external diets or calorie counts, is a step towards genuine control and emotional balance.

The podcast emphasizes the importance of self-trust and the rejection of a one-size-fits-all approach to dieting. Jessica’s insights into reconnecting with our bodies’ cues encourage us to foster self-trust. It’s about rejecting external pressures and understanding that our needs are unique. By doing so, we not only improve our relationship with food but also find a more balanced approach to other life aspects, such as work and social interactions.

The blog post ends with a nod to the wisdom within us all. It is within our power to cultivate a healthier, more balanced relationship with food, and it starts with a willingness to listen and trust in our intuition.

Emotional eating is a labyrinth, but with self-awareness and the right tools, we can find our way out. Join us in this transformative conversation and take the first step towards escaping emotional eating. By addressing our emotional relationship with food, we unlock the potential for a healthier, more fulfilled life.

This week we chat with founder of Escape from Emotional Eating, Jessica Procini. Jessica focuses on high achieving women healing roots of emotional eating.

Jessica was an emotional eater and searched high and low for support to help her heal her relationship with food. Now, she has created the support that she needed through her work with Escape from Emotional Eating.

Listen to the full episode here.

As an emotional eating expert, Jessica Procini has made it her mission to give you permission to stop and listen to the parts of you that might be asking for a little bit of help. For those of us that are so high functioning, who we think we don't need anything, but that might actually be at the heart of emotional eating.

Since 2011, Jessica, the founder and leader of Escape from Emotional Eating, has been helping women heal the roots of their emotional eating so they can embody their full potential.

Jessica had already gone through nutrition school and had health and wellness expertise under her belt when she found out that she was an emotional eater. It blew her mind that she still couldn't manage when it came to food. She knew there are other people who know so much about health and wellness but really feel powerless at certain points in their relationship with food and their body.

There is a difference between just intellectually knowing information and motivating us to take action to create change.

For Jessica, it wasn’t a lightning strike moment when she realized she was an emotional eater. She recalls not being at peace with food in her body and noticed it was getting worse. She found herself reaching for food when she felt stressed, or life got overwhelming.

Jessica says people assume that emotional eating means that you have to eat ten bags of potato chips, you know, to be an emotional eater. It’s not about what you're eating, and it really has nothing to do with 2 or 20 of something. It's about the why and really honestly answering that question.

You might think, “Well, I can't do anything about this, so I might as well eat.” Or, “I look forward to eating. Eating and food is really like the joy in my day, so I might as well eat.” Another example is having this fear when you reach a certain point in an eating experience, and you have to choose: do I keep eating, or do I stop?

You might feel like, “This is all too much.” Life is too much, the day's been too much, there's too much going on. And there is this feeling of “I need to eat something.”

These examples are unhealthy coping mechanisms that involve self-silencing and powerlessness.

Jessica says there isn’t any reason why anyone should be upset with themselves, specifically when it comes to what they’re eating. If we're constantly engaging in this cycle of eating something and then beating ourselves up about it, it creates a really toxic internal environment.

“What I love about emotional eating, and the portal that it opens when we're willing to do the real work is that it puts us back in touch with ourselves from even just the nuances of, ‘well, how do you know when you're hungry?’ ” says Jessica. “Because especially as women, we've been taught that it's not okay to be hungry. We shouldn't be hungry for food, and we shouldn't be hungry for success.”

If you truly want freedom and peace, no matter how healthy you eat, and no matter how much you exercise, you have to get to the roots of your unhealthy relationship with food.

Can you relate to those moments when you've eaten a bag of chips, only to wonder afterwards, "Who ate all of that?" And just like that, you're caught in the guilt and frustration loop, feeling like you've sabotaged your weight loss goals yet again. I've been there, and that’s why I am absolutely thrilled to share with you the latest episode of the Wellness Revolution podcast, where I was lucky to host the phenomenal Jessica Procini. This radiant woman is the heart and soul behind Escape from Emotional Eating, and she joined us to bare her soul and share her intimate journey of overcoming emotional eating.

We dove deep into this all too common struggle of using food as a means to cope with life's ups and downs. How many of us can relate to that?

In our heart-to-heart, Jessica dropped some serious wisdom and shared some incredibly powerful strategies to conquer emotional eating once and for all. Her insights are nothing short of a revelation.

In this episode, shares her personal journey with us, one that led her to break free from the destructive cycle of emotional eating.

In the “How to End Your Fight With Food” episode, the founder of Escape from Emotional Eating, Jessica Procini, provides tools to tackle one of America’s most prevalent issues today – our food. Our relationship with food exists on a spectrum – whether we’re using it in a healthy way or abusing it. Taking steps to bridge the gap between your relationship with food right now and your ideal relationship with food is more effective than measuring food by quantity.

Food affects both the mental and physical aspects of our life, and the goal is to become an expert on yourself. We get so caught up in the ‘what are we eating?’ and judging that, but the stuff behind the what and the relationship we have with food is where we begin to transform and change.

Listen to the full episode here.

Jessica has this to say about emotional eating: “Overeating is a REJECTION of Self. It is a moment of self-betrayal. In order to truly heal your relationship with food, you must address the fundamental disloyalty towards yourself.”

UGH. I WISH I would have heard THAT earlier in my life. While I don’t fall into the emotional eating trap as often as I used to, it’s something I still need to be mindful of, especially when I’m stressed, hurt or angry. Because loyalty to myself is at the top of my priority list… I hope it’s on yours too.

Jessica Procini, is the founder of Escape From Emotional Eating®, and has been helping women heal the roots of their emotional eating so they can embody their full potential. She created this unique process grounded in a decade of research, a background in the Psychology of Eating, Transformational Coaching methods, and her own personal emotional eating journey, so her clients can learn to use food as a nourishing asset rather than a self-destructive way to cope, soothe and escape their busy, stressful lives.

Before we can heal our relationship with food and eating, or whatever it is that YOU do that fills a void or masks a feeling temporarily but ultimately has you feeling WORSE about yourself, we must heal ourselves.

And healing ourselves is an ongoing, never ending, journey. No one else can do it for you. Nothing else will heal you, except you.

What does the term “coping mechanisms” mean to you? The term has taken on an understanding that doesn’t fully explain what a coping mechanism is or how it can take you into dark places in your life. After all, they are more than just the things you do because at the base of every coping mechanism is a hope that you have a sense of safety and control, even if it isn’t a true security blanket.

When we use our coping mechanisms against ourselves, we create less than fulfilling lives. This is especially true if your coping mechanism is something that requires work. An example of that work is emotional eating.

While many of us do not look at our eating habits and relationship with food as disordered, it can be without even realizing it. Any disordered habits create disordered thinking, which upsets our emotional balance. That’s why I sat down with the founder and leader of Escape From Emotional Eating Jessica Procini to talk about the root of this coping mechanism and how to tackle it if this is a struggle for you.

It became clear to me that no matter how healthy I ate, how much nutritional information I knew, or how much I worked out,  these things weren’t getting to the ROOT of why I was so out of control with food.

Other areas of discussion:

- Refusing to settle
- Having trouble finding a therapist that can relate
- Feeling compulsive in front of food
- Digesting emotions
- The power of nature and taking breaks

I used to have this thing with granola. A seemingly healthy food...but when I would eat it I would go through an entire bag in a matter of seconds.

It wasn’t until my hand hit the bottom of the bag that I would “wake up” from my food trance wondering what alien creature had taken over my body and “who ate all my food?”

No matter what I ate - healthy or unhealthy - I always felt crazy and compulsive around food. Food ran my life. It was a secret I kept for over 20 years of my life.

I tried to talk to my friends about how my overeating was out of control. They simply said, “Oh Jessica, don’t worry. Everyone does that!” Then we’d sign up for a spin class to work off what I overate the night before. It was a valiant effort to make me feel better. But it only made things worse.

I tried to seek help in therapy. I spent over 932 hours in therapy and it never touched my relationship with food. Many of the therapists I saw just wanted to put me on some type of medication. Another quick fix.

I was already using food to numb myself. I didn’t want to be numb anymore. 

At that point, I had binged ate my way through nutrition school and had become burned out from teaching too many fitness classes on the side.

How to Overcome Food Addiction and Overeating

Ever find yourself standing mindlessly in front of the fridge at night looking for something, anything to eat. Or at the end of a stressful day munching through a whole bag of popcorn or an entire pint of ice cream without even realizing how much you’re eating? It’s not that you’re eating because you’re hungry, but you are craving something. And chances are you are eating out of an emotional rather than physical need.

Entrepreneurship is stressful, and founders must be resilient to cope with all the ups and downs. Yet that very resilience that propels you forward to success, can also lead you down a path of disassociation, and all too often it manifests as emotional eating.

Maybe eating makes you feel grounded. Maybe it numbs out the emotional highs and lows of the day. It could provide a soothing comfort or a sense of security, it could be entertainment, it could be anything – and anything that stops us from truly feeling our emotions.

Jessica Procini says emotional eating is a form of disassociation, a sense of denial, and women entrepreneurs contending with all the uncertainty and stress of entrepreneurship are especially prone. It’s a pattern that usually begins in childhood, when parents give you a treat when you’re upset – and then reinforced by a food industry hellbent on getting you to override your body’s natural cue to say enough is enough. It’s not an eating disorder, though it can lead to one. And many women who eat emotionally are not necessarily overweight.

When Overeaters Anonymous and therapy didn’t work for Jessica, she went deep into research and the result is her signature program Escape from Emotional Eating – now helping thousands of women entrepreneurs and executives heal the emotional patterns that lead to food addiction and overeating.

Jessica Procini is on a mission to help high-achieving women heal the roots of their emotional eating.

Now that she’s been 100% free from her compulsions with food for over 5 years, Jessica helps female entrepreneurs and executives do the same at EscapeFromEmotionalEating.com.

Learning how to eat more mindfully and not emotionally overeat is a skill many of us need to learn. Suzanne talks to Jessica Procini, an emotional eating expert, on how to use food as food instead of a comforting substitute.

I don’t know about you, but I’m a WAY restless meditator. So this week I start the show by sharing a practical list of ways you can overcome that restlessness… and just settle down and chill out. Good idea for the start of a new year, right? Because we all need to get ourselves on the meditation cushion if we want serene minds.

To that end, I also interviewed an emotional eating expert, Jessica Procini. She’s got a fascinating take on emotional overeating and how we can heal from it—something she calls “digesting your emotions.”

Indulge me for a moment, and let’s imagine this together. Let’s picture a woman who is a boss babe, she has her act together. She’s a type-A over-achiever, and she gets things done. She’s kicked ass in her career, climbed the corporate ladder, and is by all measures highly successful in her work life.

Her kids were outstanding children, made straight As in school, went to highly regarded universities, and of course, excelled there and are now starting their own successful careers.

She’s on the board of a national nonprofit, and her name regularly comes up when discussing who’s who in her community.

From outward appearances, this woman is successful and in full control of her life. But this woman has a secret. She is in full control of all aspects of her life – except one. She’s an emotional eater. And paradoxically, the more successes she experienced in her life, the more she turned to food for comfort.

How can this be? How could this woman be so intelligent, so successful, and so together in all areas of her life except when it comes to something as simple and fundamental as eating?

My guest today is Jessica Procini.

In this episode, I talk with Jessica Procini. Jessica is on a mission to help high-achieving women heal the roots of their emotional eating so they can use food as fuel rather than a way to cope, soothe and attempt to escape their busy, stressful life.

From over a decade of research and her own personal emotional eating journey, Jessica consciously created her uniquely effective Escape From Emotional Eating® process and programs because Overeaters Anonymous didn't resonate with her, and the 932 hours she spent in therapy never helped her end her fight with food.

Jessica knew there needed to be a different kind of support, one that got to the roots of her emotional eating.

Jessica and her work have received awards from the Institute of Psychology of Eating three years in a row. She has appeared in various media outlets such as ABC, CBS, and MindBodyGreen, just to name a few.

Jessica Procini is a nutritionist and a life coach. She joins Nathalie today to talk about the struggles of emotional eating, identifying its roots, and immune-boosting tips to follow during COVID-19.

Jessica had always struggled in her relationship with food without knowing the reason why. For 20 years she emotionally ate, even while going through nutritionist school, until she identified herself as an emotional eater. Jessica discusses how, after 10 years of research, she has overcome her issues with food and formed a proven method for others to deal with emotional eating.

Many people, like Jessica, have issues surrounding food and often don’t know why. We’ve all tried diet and exercise plans that don’t stick or just plain don’t work. Jessica discusses the 4 roots of emotional eating, and how identifying what and why we are eating can help build a foundation of understanding, and can lead you to see how your relationship with food echoes other relationships in your life.

With stress at an all time high for many people right now, there is no better time for introspection and discovery. Taking those first steps into change is always difficult, but now is the time to let go of your food guilt and plan for a healthier tomorrow.

Of the people who I know well, I can't think of anyone who is NOT an emotional eater when under stress.

As summer winds down, many of us are trying to squeeze in our last few weekends at the shore.
The beach, of course, means bathing suits.
If you’re looking to slim down fast, there are some common dieting mistakes you want to avoid.
Coach Jessica Procini, founder of Laugh Yourself Skinny, explains what to do instead to feel fabulous in our bikinis.

"We’ve all been there: It’s 1:30 a.m., you’re hanging out with your friends (or your three dogs) binge watching Orange is the New Black when you get the late night munchies. So you break out a bag of chips and some cookie dough ice cream and, before the next episode starts, you’ve eaten an entire bag of salt and vinegar chips and a whole pint of Ben and Jerry’s. You look down at the damage you’ve done and think Yiiiikes. I’m definitely going to regret this. Never again.

But guys, it doesn’t have to be this way! You can still satisfy your midnight cravings and not feel like you have to kill yourself at the gym the next day. I spoke with Philly-based holistic health and weight-loss coach Jessica Procini, of Laugh Yourself Skinny, and she clued us in to how to satisfy midnight munchies without feeling a hint of guilt about it."

"Have you already hit a wall when it comes to your new year's resolutions to get fit or lose weight?  Then it may be time to call in a health coach. I sat down with one who promises to help you Laugh Yourself Skinny"

Here, Jessica answers 10 questions about herself, her health philosophy and what you can expect from her talk at Boot Camp."

Guess what? This got old very quickly. I prefer eating food rather than making it. And unless you’re a Powerball winner and rolling dough, you can understand why eating out at the healthiest farm-to-table restaurants every night of the week isn’t an option, either.

So I was determined to find a solution that would save me from slaving away over the stove for hours but that didn't force me to give up eating the foods that were good for me. And that's when I discovered this secret: the frozen food aisle at Trader Joe's."

"Did you know you can learn a lot about yourself when you go to the bathroom? It’s true—what comes out of your body can shed some serious light about what’s going on inside of it.

So yes, children: Today we’re going to talk about poop.

Normally, talking about poop would be a very awkward conversation. But since Philly health coach Jessica Procini, who once dabbled in stand-up comedy, makes learning about poop and what it means for your health so darn funny, it almost (aaaaalllllmost) cuts the awkwardness completely."

"As a health and weight loss coach, Jessica Procini's mission is to help individuals like you connect the dots between what to eat and how to lose weight.

We’re about to enter one of the biggest eating seasons of the year: the holidays! If you aren’t careful, you can easily gain 10 pounds by the end of the year!

I know I wouldn’t want to start 2013 buying pants in a bigger size, so here are some ideas to help you ring in the new year feeling great...

“My schedule is just too busy to get to the gym!” Or, “I absolutely hate exercising! I’ll do it a few times, quit and then promise to get back to it at a much later date.”

Sound familiar?

Exercise is a great way to get the blood pumping, calories burning, endorphins surging and blow off some steam. Guaranteed, you already know all the benefits of getting in a workout, so I won’t waste your time. The real problem is being able to fit it into your busy lifestyle, and also enjoy it.

"Fruit may be Mother Earth’s all-natural dessert, but if weight loss is your ultimate goal, it might be a good idea to cut back juuuust a little. As Philly health coach Jessica Procini explains—yes, that Jessica Procini, from the amazing poop videos—not all fruit is created equal, and some are better than others at helping you reach your weight-loss goals. I’ll let her explain why, but know this: Jessica Poo-cini makes another appearance. That should be motivation enough for you to tune in."

Dearest SoulCycle,

I sweat (with) you. I’m very blessed to have taken many of your classes when I travel to New York and LA. The hum of the bike, the bump of the music, the way we find the beat together … But this long distance relationship has gone on long enough.

I’ve been watching you expand and have put in many requests myself for you to come to Philly. Since it seems like you might be hesitant to make the commitment to come here, I’m giving you five more reasons you need to plant your SOUL in our city...

"Do you eat dinner in front of TV? Do you flip through your phone while eating your lunch? Do you nibble and work, nibble and work?

Just a few years ago I was guilty of these habits. In fact, I used to eat breakfast and lunch while I was trying to meet deadlines at work. When I got home I'd have dinner sitting on the couch in front of TV while catching the latest episode of The Bachelor. Sometimes I used to get so engrossed in whatever I was doing that I could finish my food without even realizing it...:

"Embrace summer with a muffin that’ll remind you of the tropics. This recipe combines pineapple, banana and coconut for delicious breakfast treat or snack. Best of all, these muffins are full of healthy ingredients, so you can enjoy your baked goods while also feeling good about what you’re eating...

Eat your baked goods without the guilt. Make a batch of these muffins at the beginning of the week, and you’ll have a healthy on-the-go breakfast or snack for the entire week. Simply store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Eat at room temperature or heat in the toaster. Easy, delicious and good for you, too.

Ingredients:

•     2-1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
