It's definitely not about the food - just like any addiction isn't actually about the substance. We are all just here self medicating in hopes of feeling something, anything, that gives us a moment of joy. There's so much more to life than instant gratification. Great talk Tricia.

I am going to watch this a few more times! The part about taking the tiger (or lion?) out of the cage to give it a snack hoping not to get mauled in the process really illustrated how hard it is for an emotional eater to face down food each day without falling into self-medicating for pain, escape, or punishment.

So many people have unhealthy relationships with food, it's not just the ladies. Hopefully men will start having the courage to talk about it too

Emotional eating is a form of self harm like cutting. Why isn't this in mainstream media.

That's true. Often the over-eaters are overdoers and people pleasers. They tire themselves every time and got to release their emotions through something that they think will not bother other people, that is food. Thanks Tricia for the great talk!

I enjoy having a squishy middle. I once read that empathetic people tend to be more heavy set, it said so that they had some extra cushioning for all the feels but I now reckon it's because they go for the instant gratification and emotional eating to take the edge off all those feels.

When I addressed my emotional eating after following Tricia's PEP test, I made progress with weight loss like never before in my life. Thank you for doing this talk and for your passion to help others improve their relationship with food. You are an amazing woman!

It's good to hear that there are people out there who understand the reasons behind the over-eating and don't just tell you to stop, not knowing what's behind it or how hard it is to stop. People should try to have more compassion for other people's issues even if those things are easy for themselves. Everyone is different and has their own problems and capabilities.

Intermittent fasting has been a godsend for me. It has allowed me to lose and keep weight off. It’s been life changing. Having said that, I still struggle (some days more than others) with food during my eating window. It’s not so much about weight loss anymore, but it is still about binging, craving, shame, etc. Not all binge/emotional eaters are overweight.

Definitely Tricia, and it's also really scary to think about the fact that even if you do get thin, you're still the same person in your brain.

It's refreshing to hear that she found a different path to address her weight loss problems. Maybe there's hope for the rest of us too!

It's fascinating how she identified the painkiller, escape, and punishment aspects of her eating habits. This introspection highlights the need for a holistic approach to weight loss that addresses emotional well-being alongside dietary changes.

Very good talk! She hits so many key points, but don't forget that if your body is hungry, it will compel you to binge. We have to eat enough calories in the first place to prevent binging! Once that's established, you can address the emotional side.

Essentially, people binge eat to reduce their neagtive feelings, sadness, guilt, boredom, disappointment etc., However, after emotional eating they feel even worse and then it's become a vicious cycle. Changing habits/behaviours is about changing what you believe. Jame Clear, the author of Atomic Habits says the key is to change your identity. The end goal might be to lose weight or to be healthy. To achieve that goal, you need to form this identity that you are person who eats healthy food and lives a healthy lifestyle. How and what to do is the next step. No matter how much self-care we do, negative feelings are unavoidable in life. Next time you're sad what are you planning to do? I think writing a list of things you can do when you're sad bored tired disappointed guilty now will help you avoid turn to food next time. When you realised you've got other choices, it'll be a different situation.

I have come to believe it’s an eating disorder for me. I maintain enough self-control not to get overweight, but I feel crazy about food. Obsessive, I can’t find the balance! I don’t know if you could say I binge-I graze and never feel satisfied, but usually do it on foods that are healthy. Still, I can’t feel grossly full and not feel satisfied. Junk food is more satisfying, but still not completely. When I withhold myself from stuff I shouldn’t eat, or decrease portions, I feel so sad, literally depressed. I get angry at myself when I overeat and see the results, but then there’s a self-destructive element that comes in, and I think I self-harm with food. The good news is I’m working through my emotions and already seeing the result in my appetite. Praise God!

Yes, there are so many forms of disordered eating...and whatever form it takes, we are using food to mitigate our emotions. Thanks so much for watching, and chiming in! :)

Hence the words "comfort food" and binging watching. They go so well together.

I’ve been learning about different kinds of hunger, like emotional hunger and stress hunger, but also mouth hunger and stomach hunger. There is little understanding of the different functions of food because we have come from a dangerous social commentary of ‘skinny= successful’. Changing your relationship with food and addressing what you and your body needs is powerful.

found Tricia Nelson's insights on the impact of emotional eating on weight loss to be both eye-opening and empowering. By recognizing the emotional triggers that lead us to overeat, we can start to unravel the complex patterns and develop alternative strategies for dealing with our emotions. This talk serves as a reminder that sustainable weight loss requires a comprehensive approach that encompasses both physical and emotional well-being.

It's crazy to think about how much your emotions can affect!

As a nutritionist, I understand the challenges of emotional eating and its impact on overall health. It's important to recognize that our relationship with food is complex, influenced by both physiological and emotional factors. While it's crucial to focus on nourishing our bodies with balanced and nutritious meals, addressing the underlying emotional triggers is equally important. Finding healthier coping mechanisms and developing a positive relationship with food can lead to sustainable weight management and improved well-being.

It's also really important to consider the way your childhood experiences come into play here. I think our early experiences with food really shape our attitude and behaviour towards it... same with everything I guess 🤷🏽‍♀

such an impactful vulnerable talk on emotional eating.

love this approach to weight loss, it's not just about dieting but healing the emotional relationship with food.

Tricia, thank you for your authenticity, wisdom, and unique approach to healing from emotional eating. I tried to beat this condition, which robbed me of so much joy, for most of my life. I'm so grateful I stumbled upon your podcasts and later your program.

The change in perspective you experienced is powerful. Shifting the focus from what unhealthy foods do to you, to understanding what they do for you, is a game-changer.

Wonderful talk. You've hit nail after nail on the head. Thank you!

I've been on a diet rollercoaster for years and it's so refreshing to hear a different perspective on weight loss. Thank you for sharing your story and insights.

I like this a lot. I know that EE is something I do, or have done. Tricia Nelson's work aligns with what I've learned and am practicing now. I finally threw out the diet mentality about 9 months ago, which is saying something since I've been on that roller coaster for more than 50 years. What's started working for me is a blend of several things: learning the principles of Intuitive Eating, which I discovered while researching motivation, which led me to Self-Determination Theory and then to I.E.; understanding the biological processes which get triggered by caloric reduction (the body's famine state response) and how that works to tank quick and sustained weight loss efforts and why I should chill about losing weight, but rather focus on healing; and now, addressing my emotional eating which has two parts: learning every day coping strategies as Tricia outlines, AND getting help to heal from trauma since many studies have shown folks with addiction issues are very often trauma survivors, as I am. It's so great to see all the work being done, and I wish that older members of my family had known of this way back when.

Such incredible insight & loving the PEP test! So easy to remember. Really a great talk. The stories and visuals were so powerful. Thanks for sharing your vulnerable story and wisdom.
