I thought I’d post today to provide some insight into something that has been a common issue for many of my clients when beginning to let go of dieting: perfectionism.
I thought now would be a good time to re-visit comfort eating, since struggles with emotional eating or to manage stress has been coming up a lot more in my conversations with not only my clients, but with friends and family as well.
If eating provides comfort for you in times of stress, you feel like you can't 'control' yourself around food or you feel guilty for eating emotionally, you are not alone. And you know what? It’s ok. It’s all ok. You are doing your best. We all are.
Emotions, comfort and food are inherently entwined and eating to soothe uncomfortable emotions in the moment is nothing to feel guilty about. However, if it is bothering you, you may find the below helpful in learning to manage your emotional eating. |
