It’s extremely important to learn how to tell the difference between emotional hunger and physical hunger. if you have any hope of losing weight and keeping it off.
Why?
Because when the lines between emotional and physical hunger become blurred due to years of emotional eating, binge eating, and using food to cope with your day-to-day life then it’s very common to never even feel physical hunger.
The problem with not feeling physical hunger is the fact that your body does not need any food if your stomach is not physically hungry.
You see, to put things in very simple terms, food is supposed to be fuel for your body; it’s not supposed to be a coping mechanism for dealing with stress, anxiety, fears worry and failures you experience in your day-to-day life. Food is not supposed to be your lover, your best friend, your boyfriend, your cheating shame-filled weekend lover, or anything of the sort.
Food is fuel for your body and your body only needs fuel when your stomach is physically hungry.
How To Tell the Difference Between Emotional Hunger and Physical Hunger
When you’re stuck in a pattern of years of emotional eating, using food to try to deal with anything uncomfortable in life, then it’s easy to keep eating, keep stuffing, and keep the cycle going.
The thing is…. food is not supposed to be a one-trick pony for soothing any issue you experience in your day-to-day life. When your co-worker looks at you sideways, food is not supposed to be your anxiety cure.
While you might feel a little better for 5 minutes after emotional eating, what are the long term consequences? How do you feel most of the time about yourself and about your body?
You probably already know that you shouldn’t be eating when you’re not physically hungry, but knowing and doing are two separate things. What I’ve learned based on my own experience as well as the experience of my coaching clients, is that the root of your emotional eating must be healed in order to fully break free of the behavior. This is why I do the coaching that I do with my awesome coaching clients in The Inner Self Diet.
Changing your eating habits is easy, unless you make it hard. The way you make it hard is with your mindset.Click To TweetHow To Tell the Difference Between Emotional Hunger and Physical Hunger [Podcast #303]

How to Stop Emotional Eating For Good
Do you want to lose weight and keep it off? If you do, then you’ll have to heal the root of your emotional eating.
Does this make sense?
Does it make sense that you won’t be able to maintain your ideal weight (after you get there) if you’re still struggling with emotional eating? And in fact, you’ll have a very hard time reaching your ideal weight if you don’t heal your emotional eating.
You definitely will not get to your goal weight struggle-free while you continue to battle your emotional eating.
Make sense?
On the other hand, if you just get to the root of the problem, heal that, and get on with living a healthy lifestyle struggle-free, then doesn’t it make sense that you’ll finally be able to GET to your goal weight, and stay there? Because you won’t be struggling with emotional eating anymore, IF you do the proven steps to heal the root of what drives your emotional eating.
