There is a common narrative around eating emotionally. It’s bad and it needs to be stopped. The common solution around eating emotionally is to avoid trigger foods, be more disciplined and focus on healthy habits.
What’s common isn’t what helps or works. In fact, this common narrative ultimately hurts.
The person that’s eating emotionally feels guilt and shame because they believe they’ve done something wrong.
They focus all of their time and attention on food, which never allows them to understand what’s really happening with them emotionally. By distracting themselves with a stricter diet, they continue the cycle and make this pattern all about food.
