Day 7: Cope with Your Emotions with Kindness (This does NOT mean you should “never” eat emotionally! 😉)


In this important lesson, I’m sharing:

✨ If you feel like you “eat emotionally” to any degree, why you are NOT “bad” and need so much compassion

✨ Common “emotional eating” scenarios and what might really be happening

  • Routinely eating lots of food at night
  • Using food as a “coping mechanism” to access comfort or safety
  • Denying/dismissing food’s association with emotions

✨Questions to ask yourself when you find yourself eating emotionally

✨2 examples of when “emotional eating” can become more concerning (and what to do)

  • Using food to numb/sedate/dissociate
  • Using food to self-punish

Navigating “emotional eating” can have many layers! So please remember: compassion over judgment! 💖💖
