Let's Talk About...Emotional Eating

The Emotional Eating (and Everything Else) Podcast

Here we are, in the middle of the holiday season, and I thought it might be helpful to go back to the basics of the Emotional Eating (and Everything Else) Podcast and talk about, you guessed it, emotional eating. Yep, it's been 94 episodes since we've focused on this topic. Well, that's not exactly true. We've focused on specific aspects of emotional eating, but we haven't discussed it in broad terms like we did in the second episode of this podcast.

And I don't know about you, but I know my emotional eating parts have been more active lately. Due to the holidays and the recent election here in the US, my parts that like to soothe with food have been more present.

So I thought it might be helpful to do a review of the topic of emotional eating. In this week's podcast episode, we're focusing on:

• What is emotional eating?
• Why parts choose food as their coping mechanism
• The most common emotional reasons that parts turn to food
• What to do about emotional eating
• Getting to know your eating parts--and who they're protecting

We also talk about examples of how all of this works, and I share some resources to help. So if you've noticed heading to food more often these days, take a listen!
