Breaking the Emotional Eating Cycle
Do you ever feel like no matter how much you want to eat healthier and get serious about losing weight, there’s just something holding you back? You vow to do better and cut back and stay on track and this time you mean it, only to find yourself right back at square one, feeling like a failure who lacks willpower, don’t despair. I can guarantee the reason this is happening is not because you are weak or even that you lack willpower, the reason you end up in this vicious cycle is because you have an emotional connection with food. The thing I love about habits is that once we understand them, we can, with a little practice, break them. So today I want to teach you about the emotional eating habit cycle and how it works.
