167: Breaking Free from Comfort Eating: Why Discomfort is the Key to Real Change
Comfort eating is showing up big-time these days. Of course, in the long run, comfort eating ISN'T comforting. The key to breaking the cycle lies in discomfort - but not the kind of making yourself uncomfortable or taking on difficult challenges that diet mentality may have taught you is necessary. In this greatest hits episode, I explore how stepping into the helpful type of discomfort—rather than avoiding it—can be the game-changer in your relationship with food. You’ll learn how to challenge diet mentality, shift your thinking, and take your power back in a way that leads to lasting freedom from overeating.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
- Why comfort eating doesn’t actually create real comfort
- How diet mentality convinces you that success requires constant struggle
- The difference between helpful discomfort and self-punishing discomfort
- How shifting your thoughts can make "hard" changes feel easier
- Why embracing discomfort is the key to breaking free from emotional eating
