When Food Solves a Problem

Our brains are wired to seek pleasure and avoid pain (mental, emotional, or physical) via the path of least resistance.

This means it's really easy for your brain to learn that food (or alcohol) creates a rapid, reliable, and effective sense of relief. 

This is emotional eating.

It’s a habit you learned, which means it’s a habit you can unlearn. 

But you have to be really honest with yourself about what problem this habit is solving for you.

Because if it didn't solve a problem, you wouldn't continue to do it.

In this episode you’ll discover:

• Why emotional eating is such a common habit. 
• Why willpower and ‘just say no’ mantras never create the results you want.
• Why it’s essential to look at the benefits of your overeating and emotional eating habit, if you want to change it for good. 
• 3 steps to start breaking this habit today.
