TLYC Ep. 141 GREATEST HITS - How I Did it, Part 4 - Stop Emotional Overeating
On this episode Lia Pinelli explores emotional eating, a common but often unrecognized issue. Emotional eating isn't just stress-eating; it can be triggered by boredom, excitement, or anything that looks appealing. It involves eating for reasons other than physical hunger, which can hinder achieving peace with food. Signs of emotional eating include eating without hunger, impulsive choices, breaking self-promises, and feeling regret or anxiety after eating. To combat emotional eating, Lia suggests feeling emotions without eating and creating a fulfilling life. She outlines four steps: awareness of feelings, identifying reasons for eating, assessing those reasons, and committing to a life more satisfying than food.

In this episode of "The Life You Crave" podcast, host Lia Pinelli shares her journey of overcoming a persistent struggle with what she calls "over desire," the intense preoccupation with tempting, forbidden foods. Lia defines over desire as strong cravings or constant thoughts about certain foods, which made her feel powerless. She explains how the common approach of battling these cravings with willpower and discipline is exhausting and ultimately ineffective. Instead, Lia introduces a different perspective on addressing over desire, emphasizing that it's not a personal flaw but a cycle that can be broken. She invites listeners to tune in to learn more about dismantling over desire and how her "90 Days to Food Freedom" program can help. Lia also offers a free 17-minute training called "Eating Without Fear" available on her website. Connect with Lia on her website, Facebook, and Instagram for more insights and support.

TLYC Ep. 139 GREATEST HITS - How I Did it, Part 2 - Over Hunger
Do you ever feel like you can eat and eat and never really feel satisfied, and find it hard to stop because the food tastes so good? Or you’re just looking for that feeling of satisfaction and can’t seem to find it? I used to be like that, too. Spoonfuls of pasta, mac n cheese, bread and butter, cheese and crackers… there was no off switch until I was overstuffed. I could pick at food and eat and eat for days, never really feeling satisfied. I couldn’t figure out why I was insatiable until I learned about a concept called over-hunger which is exactly what I’m talking about on the podcast this week. This is Part 2 of the How I Did It series and I get down and dirty with how over-hunger is caused and what you can do if you suffer from it, too. Listen for free at wherever you get your podcasts.
