121: Short-circuit Emotional Eating With These Smart Tactics
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
When you’re trying to stop emotional eating, your brain’s default strategy is to focus on “not doing it” or coming up with an alternative to-do list - things to do instead of eating. While this can be helpful, it’s important to remember that sometimes your urge to go have a snack is triggered by already having too many things to do! In this episode of the Too Much on Her Plate podcast, I’m covering tactics that go beyond doing more things or relying on willpower or distraction. The strategies in this episode will help shift you, your brain, and your behaviors toward what you really need to take your power back from food.
In this episode:
- 5 smart things to do instead of emotional eating
- Why your brain will resist these tactics
