#70: What Are You Really Craving? 4 Steps to End Emotional Eating

Boss Body

Episode Summary:

Have you ever noticed when you have a strong craving, it’s usually NOT because you’re actually hungry?

Whether it’s finishing a whole bag of chips or a sleeve of cookies at night while watching TV. Don’t worry, you’re not alone. We've all been there.

Whatever emotions drive you to overeat, the end result is often the same. You feel better temporarily, then the emotions return along with guilt… Then you eat to feel better… And the cycle continues.

In this episode, we’ll discuss:

1. How to distinguish between hunger and cravings
2. Root causes of emotional eating
3. Four steps you can implement to break the cycle

“Feelings aren’t going to kill you. It’s uncomfortable, but it’s not a bad thing. We are human. We are meant to cry and to be sad. If you don’t face what the emotion is, you’re never going to take action to deal with what needs to be dealt with.” - Sarah Haas
