Why Emotional Eating Feels So Hard to Br...

CORINNE CRABTREE
About this episode

Ever find yourself halfway through a bag of chips at night and think, "What the hell am I doing? I SWORE I was done with this!" And then you keep eating anyway?

I get it. For years, I blamed myself for not having enough "willpower" to stick to my diet. Turns out I was solving the wrong problem.

Here's what I know after losing 100 pounds and keeping it off for over 15 years. If you're eating when you're not hungry, food isn't your problem.

And those diets that made you feel like a failure for "cheating"? They failed YOU by never helping you figure out why you were reaching for the food in the first place.

In today's episode, "Why Emotional Eating Feels So Hard to Break," I'm revealing:

  • The surprising reason you get stuck in the cycle of overeating
  • The hidden link between being "good" all day and secret eating at night
  • The most powerful first step to break free from emotional eating

Most weightloss programs have it backward. They focus on the food instead of figuring out what the food is doing for you. That cookie isn't the enemy. It's what happens before – and after – you eat it that keeps you stuck.

Food isn't failing you. Your emotions aren't failing you. And YOU are definitely not failing. You just haven't been taught how to handle life without using food... yet.
