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

119: Getting Emotional Eating Help: How Chris Ditched Diets and Lost Weight

Melissa McCreery Episode 119

Years of dieting, fighting with the scale, obsessing about the scale and feeling like success always came down to the daily weigh-in. That’s where Chris was, and her decision to pursue private coaching and work with me to change her overeating wasn’t one she made lightly. “I had tried everything… all of the traditional things that women do… it wasn’t working.” In this episode we have a candid conversation about her experience with working with me. What coaching for emotional eating help was like, the parts that were dissatisfying, her growth and wins, and where she is now.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

  • Why it took years before Chris made the decision to work with me
  • The dissatisfying answer I gave Chris after our second session that had her rolling her eyes and when things started changing
  • When things started changing
  • Weight loss results and the growth that happened
  • Why Chris felt like she was always letting herself down with food even though everyone else thought she was incredibly trustworthy and how she built her trust and confidence back
