Learning how to eat more mindfully, and not emotionally overeat is a skill many of us need to learn. Suzanne talks to Jessica Procini, emotional eating expert, on how our relationship with our mothers is often a factor in our food issues

Perhaps you over eat, over drink, over drug, over shop… whatever your ‘ism’ is, issues with the emotional attachment with your mother may be at the root of it.

Jessica shares ideas on
-       Why mother-daughter relationships can be so tricky
-       Using substances to cope, and alternatives that are healthier
-       The connection between overwork and overeating
-       How to know if your mother is triggering you
-       What to do if your mother is active in your life—and things are tricky
-       Body shame v body positivity
-       The impact of how we dress and what to do about it

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.

Since 2011, Jessica Procini, the founder and leader of Escape From Emotional Eating®, has been helping women who strive for excellence heal the roots of their emotional eating so they can embody their full potential.

After years of mismatched programs and therapy, Jessica knew she couldn't work with just anyone. She wanted real change where she could truly break free from her cyclical chaotic patterns with food and her body. She was determined to find a way to truly be free from emotional eating so she could have the peace, freedom, and joy in her body, mind, and soul she had longed for.

Jessica created Escape From Emotional Eating®, a 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.

Now 100% free from her compulsions with food, Jessica helps other women get to the roots of their emotional eating through her year-long programs, retreats, keynotes, and workshops.

As a sought-after thought leader, Jessica's work has received multiple awards from the Institute of Psychology of Eating and has been featured in noteworthy media outlets such as ABC, CBS, and MindBodyGreen.

Board-certified holistic health practitioner talks with us about one of the many things holding high-achieving women back that they themselves may not even realize. We've all been told to "feel our feels" but no one tells us what that means or how to even do it. That happened firsthand to Jessica as she battled overeating. Although at first glance she doesn't look like the stereotypical person that would have issues with overeating, Jessica is out here saying, "hey don't judge, because you don't know."

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. When Overeaters Anonymous and therapy weren’t enough to help her end her fight with food, she spent ten years in research before developing her signature healing framework, Escape From Emotional Eating®, which has helped women reclaim their power over food. 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.”

Jessica Procini is the founder of Escape From Emotional Eating. She helps people get to the roots of the emotional eating so they can heal and thrive. She teaches clients how to master their emotions and live a more abundance life with inner peace.

We had an insightful conversation about unhealthy habits can mask themselves and hinder us from being our most awesome selves.

How do you know if you’re an emotional eater?

Have you leaned on food to help you get through an emotion, time in your time, or something else?

Do you turn to food in happy and sad moments? Or when unwinding after a long day?

We’re talking about emotional eating on the podcast this week, with my guest Jessica Procini.

Jessica Procini is on a mission to help high-achieving women heal the roots of their emotional eating so they can use food as a nourishing asset rather than a self-destructive way to cope, soothe and attempt to escape their busy, stressful lives.

She created Escape From Emotional Eating®, a unique process grounded in a decade of research, a background in Psychology of Eating, Transformational Coaching methods, and her own personal emotional eating journey because Overeaters Anonymous didn’t resonate with her and the 932 hours she spent in therapy never helped her end her fight with food.

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

Now 100% free from her compulsions with food, Jessica helps other high-achieving women get to the roots of their emotional eating through her year-long programs, retreats, keynotes, and workshops.

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. Jessica is the founder of Escape from Emotional Eating and is on a mission to help high achievers heal the roots of their emotional eating so they can use food as a nourishing asset rather than a self-destructive way to cope, soothe and attempt to escape their busy, stressful lives. Jessica’s work has received multiple awards from the Institute of Psychology of Eating, and she’s been featured in noteworthy media outlets such as ABC, CBS, and MindBodyGreen.

Join us today as Jessica shares her own story as well as how to stop using food to cope and start using food to thrive.

It's something that we as humans use as a coping mechanism. Food brings us comfort, joy, and sometimes escape from the stressful thoughts bouncing around in our heads.

But when that stress is the type that lingers and the emotional eating along with it, this can lead to bigger health problems.

My guest on the Dream Cast today is an expert in this area. Jessica Procini is an emotional eating healer who helps others to use food as fuel rather than a way to soothe or escape their busy, stressful life.

Listen to this episode to learn:

• What causes emotional eating
• How to break the habit of emotional eating
• Tips to start using food as fuel instead!

In this episode Jamie Zwier & Jessica Procini talk about what exactly emotional eating is, how to know if you're an emotional eater, what you can do to heal your relationship with food, the difference between eating disorders and emotional eating, the first step that a busy woman can do to start overcoming her emotional eating, and how to speak to kids about emotional eating.

You wouldn’t look at Jessica Procini and think she’d ever had a problem with unconscious self-feeding.  Yet, she has walked through an intense journey of self-love starvation, using food to fill the void. Overeaters Anonymous didn’t resonate and therapy wasn’t enough when it came to getting help to fully end her fight with food.

She eventually used her personal power and innate wisdom to become an Emotional Eating Healer and the founder of Escape From Emotional Eating®.

Based in Philadelphia, she is on a mission to help busy, successful women use food as fuel rather than a way to cope, soothe or escape their busy, stressful lives. Being 100% free from her compulsions with food, she now helps others do the same.

In this episode:

• How do we get out of the freaking RAT RACE of overthinking EATING?  (There are a million different eating plans out there…how do you intuit which foods and ways of eating are best for YOU?)
• How do we use food as a way to “run away from ourselves”?
• Why is a “NOURISHMENT FIRST” mentality the doorway to transformation and freedom?
• What are the best ways to untangle physical vs. emotional hunger?
• What are the actual roots of emotional eating, for most of us?

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"

"Up today is Jessica Procini, the hilarious Philly-based health coach behind Laugh Yourself Skinny. This former stand-up comedian teaches her clients how to get healthy and have a great time doing it—because it really is possible!

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."

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.

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...:

“These macaroons are proof that healthy eating doesn’t have to be bland, boring or depriving!” This is how Jessica Procini, a Weight Loss Coach from Philadelphia, PA, described these tasty treats made with just three ingredients: dates, banana and unsweetened coconut.

Each season presents its own challenges to those trying to lose weight or just eat healthily. Right now, you might find yourself constantly tempted by Easter candy in stores or the ice cream stands that seem to pop up on every corner. It might seem futile to resist, but don’t despair. Believe it or not, there are healthy ways to treat yourself. This simple recipe for coconut macaroons is one of Jessica’s favorites...

•     1 medium banana, cut into quarters
•     1 cup unsweetened coconut

•     Place dates and banana in a blender or food processor.
•     Blend until a smooth paste-like consistency.
•     Remove from blender and mix with coconut in a medium sized bowl.
•     Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough at a time and roll into small balls.
•     Place dough balls on parchment lined cookie sheet.
•     Bake for 10-15 minutes, until golden brown on the bottom.
•     Makes approximately 18 macaroons.

Ever walk into the supermarket, list in hand, only to walk out missing a few items, carrying extras you didn’t plan on buying, and spending more cash than you should have? Grocery stores’ endless options can be overwhelming, often resulting in impulse buys that wreck both budget and diet.
