Emotional eating can look a lot of different ways. Sure, it CAN look like a tub of ice cream in one hand, and a spoon in the other with tears streaming down your cheeks like in the movies. It can also look like eating because you’re bored or avoiding something. Or not eating due to stress. Regardless of what it looks like for you, at different times and for different reasons, this episode is about awareness of those emotions and letting go of judgment for experiencing them! We are all human! Per usual, our hosts Brian and Lindsey share their own personal experiences with emotional eating, how they have broken those habits, and the framework you can use to do the same!
