In this episode, we are going to talk all about emotional eating. We will address ways you can recognize and handle it with the "Am I hungry" method. We will also talk about what emotional eating is and what it is not. When I have researched this topic before, studies estimate that about 70 to 80% of people emotionally eat. That means the vast majority of us emotionally eat at least from time to time. You may be eating the way you want the majority of the day and this emotional trigger happens then all of a sudden you find yourself off your eating pattern, eating way more than you planned, and eating foods you hadn't planned to eat. So what do we do about this? I hope to give you some tools today that will help so make sure you check out the show!
