Stress, boredom, loneliness and overwhelm can trigger emotional eating as a form of coping.
Turning to food for comfort in the long run leads to:
Guilt and shame patterns emerge
Such behaviours continue to persist
True hunger and fullness cues are not honoured
Mood, energy and self-esteem suffer as a result
Developing a positive relationship between food and self requires the resolution of emotional eating.
Melissa’s Approach to Emotional Eating
Empathy-Driven Support: Creating a space to identify trigger foods without criticism allows you to be understood and heard.
Habit Shifts: Coping strategies are developed to help you resist cravings without guilt.
Non-Diet Principles: No more restrictive rules or moralizing foods; focus on nourishment, balance, and self-compassion.
Intuitive Eating and Mindful Eating Tools: Listen to your body’s signals to determine if you are hungry emotionally or physically.
