Ending Emotional Overeating

About

Hi,
My name is Linda, and I'm a Certified Life and Career Coach. I will help you end emotional overeating. I've lost and gained hundreds of pounds over the course of my life!

But, more than 5 years ago, I lost and have kept off 80 lbs. See https://womenendingovereating .com for my before and after pictures :-)

A brief overview of why many of us began overeating. Overeating started when we were young and needed something someone important in our lives couldn't provide for us...perhaps it was feeling heard, needing love, affection, support, etc.

At one point, eating helped us cope with the pain of not getting what we needed.

However, over time, overeating became wired into our brain as a way to cope with any emotional upset. As a result, we never learned any other way to take care of ourselves. In fact, it began having the opposite effect. Our overeating became so bad that we started hating ourselves for it...hated feeling out of control, the way we looked, etc.

And, this just triggered more bingeing and self hatred, more bingeing and self hatred, etc. A cycle we believed would never end.

I was in that cycle for a very long time, but I'm free now. I learned how to manage my emotions in healthier ways, e.g., I didn't have to respond to every thought or feeling I had. I broke long term beliefs about myself which kept me in that binge cycle such as "I have to binge every time I feel the urge," or "I've always been like this" or the worse one, " there's something wrong with me."

I can help you get off the emotional eating cycle because I've been there and I stopped. Let me help you to do the same. You can be "normal" around food and start doing the things you've been putting off because you blamed your weight for it. It's not your weight, it's what you believe about yourself!
