Too Much on Her Plate with Dr. Melissa McCreery: Emotional Eating Help for Smart, High-Achieving Women

118: What I Learned When Nothing Was Working and When Life Went Sideways

Melissa McCreery Episode 118

Before you jump into January goal setting mode or dive into another plan to change overeating habits or end emotional eating, it’s always helpful to reflect on what you already know, what works for you, and what you’ve learned from attempts to stop overeating that haven’t worked. As I reflect on last year, there were definitely some lessons learned. In this episode, I’m sharing a few of them, including what helped me through when nothing was working and life went sideways.

In this episode:

  • Satsumas, cuticle oil, and bare minimum expectations
  • Why journaling is such a powerful weapon - and why you might want to try it even if you think you don’t like it
  • What your default should be when nothing is working
  • How I discovered a bunch of mindless eating
  • Wanting to hide and what helps
