How An Emotional Eating Coach Works

By Joshua Foster


Diets come and go, and there is no doubt that it is more the mental aspect of this eating program which is difficult to maintain. It especially applies when you eat for emotional reasons. Many people find that they become addicted to food. They are drawn to chocolate and fries whenever there is a problem in their lives. This is obviously a big problem. This is where an emotional eating coach can do wonders for you.

This type of coach will have a consultation with you so they get to know more about your struggles and why you turn to food as a source of comfort. There are many things that you can do as an alternative. It is important to get down to the root of the cause and to deal with this problem.

This is a habit and not easy to break, but there are methods to turn to which the coach will help you feel more comfortable with. You start to work with more practical aspects, and this can be a hobby that you enjoy doing. Therefore, you will begin to focus on what you are doing. At the same time you get enjoyment and satisfaction from this.

It is important to know what triggers you when you feel that you need to eat. When you feel these emotions come up, it is important to have something planned. It could be meditation or a source of mindfulness. You can have music downloaded on your phone. It means that wherever you are, you will be prepared for this.

You won't have to run into the nearest coffee shop because you know how to cope with this. Taking a few deep breaths, followed by a brief guided meditation with background music can ease your anxiety levels. You will eventually feel more calm and relaxed and realize that you are not actually hungry.

You have to learn to be satisfied in other ways without turning to food. People get enjoyment from other relationships. But you have to do something for yourself. It can be arts and crafts or participating in a sport. You may enjoy gardening or riding a bike. In this way you forget about physically eating, and you become focused on another sense of fulfilment.

People get a lot of satisfaction by looking after themselves. When you turn to food, you are not looking after yourself. You find yourself becoming more obese. You don't really end up caring up your figure, and you let yourself go. When you decide to make a change for the better, you may decide to buy a new outfit or paint your nails.

You will begin to ask yourself whether you really need that chocolate or whether you are simply going to eat it because it is a habit. Of course, it can take time to get to this point. The coach is there to offer support. You will check in every week and you will take note of your improvements, and notice how you have progressed over this time. You will also begin to discover what areas you need to work on. The relationship between the client and the coach are also most important.
