Snacking all day? It's probably emotional eating.... In this episode I break down why emotional eating shows up as snacking, using a real conversation I had this week with someone about to join The…
So firstly, I've got this lady.
She's inquired for me about the intuitive table, the weekly group coaching course that starts in September 14th at 9.30 at Leighton in Leighton at Shropshire Health.
The private GP clinic with lots of parking.
Fabulous.
um she's inquiring about it and at the moment she's snacking loads so you know what it's like you're in the fridge then you're in the snack door you just can't seem to like fill yourself up you are snacking before your tea after your tea your mid-morning snack the 3 p.m snack you know what you know what it's like don't you the snacking snacking snack like a toddler toddler like a snack they love a snack snack She's really snacky at the moment and she couldn't see about how building a healthy relationship with food would help her reduce or stop snacking.
And I was like, right, okay, I get that.
I can see that.
Let me explain.
So the first thing we do, I always do, is look at language around food.
That's week one.
Week one of the intuitive table, we look at language around food.
In this lady's message, she said, I'm snacking on rubbish.
And the rubbish bit is really, really important here.
When you give morality to food, when it's good, bad, naughty, cheat, rubbish, crap, that sort of... energy to it, labeling, naming, it can subconsciously go into your brain and then it creates a divide, good, bad, good, bad, like black, white.
And then that can be quite restrictive when you come to making decisions.
It can also play out in your habits and what you do and how you do them, and also the decisions you make in the moment.
By changing that, by taking the morality out of food, so there's no good or bad foods, there's no naughty, there's no nice, there's no sweet treats or anything like that, it takes the power away from it.
They just become foods.
And you're like, oh, but some foods are naughty.
Yes, I get it.
I get it.
But if you ate chocolate all day, you're not going to be the most healthy version of you.
If you ate broccoli all day, you're still not going to be the most healthy version of you.
So looking at one food in a good or bad way is not informative of your diet.
Looking at the diet as a whole is a lot better, which is wonderful.
