This may sting a little

Let me guess… it always feels like you’re being pulled in multiple directions!?
You’ve got a lot of demands and responsibilities. People depend on you, whether that’s professionally, or privately, or both.
You’ve got so much on that at times it feels like you’re running to stand still?
There are so many things you want to do, wish you could do, to move your life forwards, to enjoy your life, or finally make the progress you want and deserve...
But at the moment it feels like you’re just surviving rather than thriving?
What’s more you struggle with emotional/binge eating and despite everything that you do, it keeps coming back.
You’re so disciplined with your food at times, but then other times you find yourself mindlessly eating for no reason, or you get an insatiable craving that you just can’t ignore?
You’ve tried compensating for it…..
Cutting out carbs the rest of the time and almost saving them for the inevitable binge that you know is just around the corner.
It’s getting to the point where you’re thinking about food and thinking about this issue way too much. It’s taking up way to much of your mental space and energy.
But how are you supposed to deal with it?
> You’ve tried all the obvious options.
> You’ve tried all the diet and nutrition approaches.
> You’ve tried all the different workout options.
> You’ve even tried meditation and yoga to try to destress.
None of it has made any real, lasting difference to your underlying behaviour.
“Am I going to be stuck with this forever?”
“What’s wrong with me?”
“Why can’t I do this?”
“I’m a smart, intelligent, so why is this so hard?!”
You know that what you’re currently doing isn’t working, and you know there has to be a better way!!
So where do you start?
Do you look for (hope for) an easier, quicker, cheaper fix!
Do you try another diet, another online programme, another personal trainer……
Or do you simply bury your head in the sand and tell yourself you’ll deal with it later, after you finish this project at work, after the holidays, after the kids go back to school, when your workload eases off a bit, when life magically and spontaneously gives you a break!
When has that ever happened?!
You may feel like you’re too busy, too stressed, too overwhelmed to properly address this right now…
...BUT that’s precisely why you need to address this right now!
Like I said, binge or emotional eating is a SYMPTOM!
The source of that problem is EXACTLY the same issue that is causing your stress and overwhelm.
Stress, overwhelm, binge eating, they are all part of the same problem!!
I’m sure that you have many demands and responsibilities in your life. Employees, bosses, clients, children, family, and so on. However, the primary cause of stress and overwhelm is MINDSET or “emotional fitness” or “emotional freedom”.
How is it that two people can have the same demands, pressures and responsibilities, and one of them is cool calm and level headed, and the other can’t cope? It’s emotional fitness.! Or how someone structures their internal world.
So what does all this have to do with binge and emotional eating? Let’s connect the two and show you how your issues with binge eating are all tied into this same problem.
I’m sure you have moments when you can think logically, clearly and rationally, and make good decisions around food. And then there are times when your smart, logical brain goes on vacation, and you simply can’t control yourself around food.
When does this happen?
One of the primary triggers is when the stress and overwhelm gets too much right?
At that point you don’t feel like you can cope and you just need an immediate release. That’s what food does for you. You’ve trained your brain and your nervous system that food is the most rapid, reliable, and effective mechanism for getting a release from all that stress.
So, if you’ve been telling yourself that you’ll get round to addressing your food issues…
… later…
… when I’ve got more time…
… when life is a little less stressful…
… You’re kidding yourself and THAT IS WHY YOU ARE STILL STUCK!
Not one to sugar coat things, emotional or binge eating and your struggles with stress and overwhelm are all part of the SAME problem.
