When I first met Chelsea, it became apparent that she was eating for all sorts of reasons: boredom, busyness, wanting to avoid a task, having a lousy day, because someone offered her food, because someone else wanted a chai latte and she didn't want them to partake alone, or because she was tired or because she was upset.

Do any of those sound familiar? If you are thinking, "Yep, that's me." I want you to listen carefully to this real life session with Chelsea.

Tune in to hear how Chelsea has been on a journey from emotional eating to making empowered food choices. You will hear how she navigates cravings, identifies her needs, and makes conscious decisions without depriving herself. We also discuss practical tips for managing treats, the importance of breaking the cycle of 'shadow comforts', and how to stay mindful during special events.

If you're wondering whether people are actually able to change or if people just have these sort of emotional eating issues for the rest of their lives, the answer is yes. But don't take my word for it, you can hear it from Chelsea herself.

Small steps come before big ones, but nobody wants to start with small steps, do we?

In today's real life session with Phyllis, we'll discuss how breaking down habits into smaller, manageable parts can lead to success and why celebrating even the smallest wins is crucial.

Phyllis has been working diligently on her habit of overeating at dinner. We've talked about what it feels like to get satisfied, and we've tried tracking each time she stopped eating her dinner before she had over eaten, but it wasn't getting checked off all that often. (That happens sometimes!)

During the call, she reflects on her progress, her upcoming trip to Norway, and navigating her emotional and psychological state without relying on strict diet rules.

Get ready for real-life examples of navigating overeating, grazing, and emotional eating while moving towards healthier eating habits.

"If only I had more willpower, then I could stop overeating sweets...exercise more...and finally lose weight!" These are common beliefs amongst those who have struggled with their health goals for a long time. So you may have wondered why we don't talk much about "willpower" on this podcast. Today we are going to address why we don't promote it as a primary weight management strategy.

The truth is, willpower is limited and finite in nature, and one's belief in their willpower capability can greatly impact their behavior. Instead, we would like to introduce you to concepts we prefer and find more helpful and empowering. We also discuss the importance of engineering your environment and leveraging social support to make healthier choices easier.

If you want to manage your whole state, strengthen your self control, and create a supportive environment for long-term healthy eating habits, then we hope you join us for this episode!
