If you’re like me, you’ve probably tried every diet under the sun… and still ended up right back where you started (i.e. carrying around extra pounds).

The REAL Secret to Weight Loss (It Has Nothing to Do With Dieting)

Well, let me tell you a secret: the real key to weight loss isn’t about depriving yourself or following some fancy diet plan. It’s about healing your relationship with food.

As a mind-body weight loss coach, I’ve worked with countless clients who struggle with emotional eating. They turn to food for comfort when they’re feeling stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed. And while this may provide temporary relief, it can also lead to weight gain and other negative consequences, including a big self-esteem hit.

So how do we break this cycle? By healing our emotional relationship with food. This involves identifying the underlying causes of our emotional eating, and then using strategies to address those issues.

5 Tips to Help

Here are some common reasons why people eat emotionally, and some strategies to overcome them:

1. Stress and anxiety: When we feel stressed or anxious, we often turn to food as a way to cope. To overcome this, try practicing mindfulness exercises, meditation, or deep breathing. These techniques can help calm your mind and body, reducing the urge to eat as a way to self-soothe.

2. Emotional trigger points: Certain situations or triggers can cause us to eat emotionally. For example, if you were constantly given junk food as a child whenever you felt stressed, you may associate certain foods with feelings of comfort and relaxation. To overcome this, try creating a list of healthy coping mechanisms you can use instead of food. This could be anything from going for a walk to talking to a friend to practicing gratitude exercises.

3. Lack of awareness: Many of us eat emotionally without even realizing it. We might graze throughout the day out of habit, or we might use food to fill a void that we don’t know how to fill any other way. To become more aware of your eating habits, try keeping a food journal to track what you’re eating and when. This can help you identify patterns and triggers that you may not have been aware of before.

4. Trauma: For those of us who have experienced trauma, food can be a source of comfort and safety. However, relying solely on food for these feelings can lead to weight gain and other health problems. Instead, consider seeking support from a therapist or counselor who can help you work through your trauma in a healthy and safe way.

5. Social pressure: Eating with others can be a source of both joy and stress. If you find that social pressures are causing you to eat more than you want to, try setting boundaries with your friends and family. You might say something like, “I appreciate your invitation to dinner, but I’m trying to watch my calorie intake so I’ll just have a small portion.”
