How to find freedom from emotional eating (ft. The Weight Psych)
Have you ever found yourself accidentally eating a whole packet of crisps or an entire tub of ice-cream on the couch after a really shitty day? Or worse, drowning your sorrows in a bottle of wine with no-one to keep you company but Netflix? Let’s be honest, we’ve all done it at some point in our life, and every now and again it’s totally cool! But if emotional eating is a regular occurrence for you, it’s time to check yourself before you wreck yourself!
We’re back this week with another ‘on the couch’ chat between BUF Girls founder, Libby and our fave mind guru Glenn Mackintosh, otherwise known as The Weight Psych.
This week Lib & Glenn chat about how to find freedom from emotional eating - and there’s some real gold in here for you girls! Hit play to hear all about:
How emotional eating is like double-dipping on a bad mood
Why there’s no nutritional solution for emotional pain
How all feelings are normal and temporary
Why it’s important to make room for unpleasant emotions
How positive and negative feelings can coexist
New ways to manage your emotions that don’t involve that ice-cream tub!
