EMOTIONAL EATING | How Do I Stop Eating Emotionally?

[@adrienneRDPurWeightloss]

"Gaining authority over our emotions and habits is by understanding them with awareness and curiosity"- I love that!

[@davidalbert7250]

Hello friend, how are you ? It's really nice meeting you.

[@vanessamclennan1]

Yes that was a great take away.

[@ivycooper7224]

I have to stop emotional eating because I’m depressed with going to a job I hate, I had bad relationships with men in the pass, dealing with traumas, my mom has cancer I’m worried about her and negative people I have to continue praying and staying positive because if failures in life! 🙏🏾

[@almade3053]

So perfect for me. I'm over 100 days sober and I'm also struggling with emotional eating. So many emotions to deal with at once. Thank you 🙏

[@spidermid3003]

I watched this video in May 2023 at the lowest point in my life. I weighed over 250lbs, I was depressed and I just felt like I wouldn’t ever lose the weight. It wasn’t until I watched this video that I had finally realised that my issues with food came from a much deeper place. It was then and ONLY then that I finally started to lose weight; once I realised I had to make peace with myself first. I currently weigh 209lbs, and I’m well on my way to my goal weight of 185lbs. Thank you so much for making this video; you not only set me on the path to changing my life, having grown up the fat kid in school, you also saved me from a possible lifetime of health issues. I am forever grateful.

I recognize that as a child when I was unhappy, I ran to my grandmother, and she fed me. As an adult in unhappy times, I feed myself. I need to find another outlet.

Miss Dani, would you be willing to create a follow-up video discussing alternative actions/outlets someone can turn to after sitting with their emotions for a few moments? It's so hard to choose "nothing" instead of "something else" when food is your default.

[@pamzimmerman640]

Yes please!

I love the question "what is the food standing in for?" There's so much richness there every time we ask this!

[@hoppas77]

Wow, I have spent years trying to understand this very thing and no one has had any answers or help. I have talked to doctors who only want to put me on medicine for binge eating or depression. I knew I had to get to the root of the issue but I didn't know how and that a 'pill' was not the fix. I don't binge eat, I overeat because I'm an emotional eater. And, know I understand and this makes perfect sense! Please keep doing videos on these subjects. Thank you SO very much! I needed to see and hear this today :-)

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

I am SO glad this was helpful. Thanks for letting me know - I will share more for sure.

I love your first step idea to be curious, and instead of beating yourself up, looking at it from a self loving kind of thing.

[@Wendy520May]

This really hit home. Thanks for such a real video. Your spot on with emotional eating. Even though I can't remove myself from my stress. I just need to breathe instead of eat until I feel in control again. Loved it

[@davidalbert7250]

Hello friend, how are you ? It's really nice meeting you.

[@thediazfamily1586]

You are amazing Dani! Thank you for this....like you mentioned, we usually emotionally eat because we are trying to soothe or comfort ourselves. As a Christian, I've learned to turn to the Lord in prayer to find my comfort. We were made to love and be loved and often what we truly desire, what we truly are seeking is connection. Speaking to Jesus about my challenges or prayer like the Rosary is my greatest source of comfort and allowing Him to speak to me about His love for me (He loves you too) has brought me much healing from emotional eating. Wishing you all much peace on your journey!

[@EmbodyYourDivinity]

Love this, I agree!

[@candacedawn357]

Thank you! I definitely can lose & keep the weight off if it weren't for emotional eating. I have decided to be proactive and write a list of things that do not involve food that will bring joy & help me to relax.

[@davidalbert7250]

Hello friend, how are you ? It's really nice meeting you.

[@elenatondelli8874]

[@fandangofred]

After watching a lot of videos about emotional eating, which I have a problem with myself, this is possibly the best short videos out there in my opinion.

[@user-sv3py6sp3r]

also just love how articulate you are 🥺💛💛

[@BethyKable]

Thank you for your very reasonable and non-judgmental insights about emotional eating. I always thought that having an awareness of emotional eating would cure me but that wasn’t the case. Even knowing that I’m using food to stuff down my emotions doesn’t stop me. It’s a very deeply engrained HABIT that requires a great deal of discipline which isn’t my strong suit. As you say, not beating myself up and feeling like a 😞 failure will take a lot of practice. Thank you so much for the reminder.

[@sabriyastewart8704]

I've struggled also with having the knowledge and that not being enough to overcome my emotional eating habit. I don't know that discipline is key for me, but I know recommitting to the process every day and increasing my willingness to feel crappy in the moment (stress, exhaustion, anxiety, whatever it is) and know there is absolutely nothing wrong with those feelings, and when I practice feeling the feeling and letting it pass through or feeling it and doing something that actually serves me vs. grabbing food (like taking a quick nap if I'm exhausted or prioritizing my tasks if I'm overwhelmed at work, etc) I train my brain to disassociate food with rest and comfort, etc and it gets easier. I'm not all the way there yet but I know what I'm committing to so that this clicks for me long-term.

[@BethyKable]

@@sabriyastewart8704 Thank you SO much for your kind reply. I know this is something I will struggle with all my life and seems to be an almost universal problem in our food saturated society! You have many keen insights and I thank you for sharing your journey with me and letting me know that I’m not alone in this struggle with my dysfunctional relationship with food. I will keep you in my prayers as we both are fighting the same “food fight” together. Good bless and thank you for your kind support!

[@janicef1280]

This is such good advice, even if you don’t emotionally eat. It can be used in so many areas of life. I usually eat when I am not drinking enough water or I am bored. When I get stressed or emotional, eating is not at the top of what I want to do, but I do use the deep breathing technique to help with stress.

[@susanne_christine]

These type of videos are my favorite from you Dani. Emotional eating is definitely the reason I have not reached my weight loss goals. I think I'm going to create a playlist of these so I can listen to them daily or weekly. :) Have a great weekend!

Emotional eating for me is sugar. 2 bad things combined! Eating when not hungry and eating the worst “food” possible. Thanks Dani. Your tips are doable and make such good sense.

Oh yes! Why don't we just run for the carrots? 😀

[@davidalbert7250]

Hello friend, how are you ? It's really nice meeting you.

[@david3443]

A very helpful video, letting yourself feel whatever you're trying to avoid using food is the key. To feel it out and find an answer for it that isn't eating when you aren't hungry. I just try to center myself around that.

[@RobloxGamerRuby]

This video was exactly what I needed right now after emotional eating yesterday thank you ❤

[@tardis99]

This evening I felt so bad about myself after eating a whole bunch of chocolate chip cookie. I hated that while eating, I KNEW that this might be an emotional eating but I just couldn't stop and kept stuffing my mouth. After watching this video, I realized that I am feeling extremely anxious right now about my boyfriend who is not showing any respect for me. I'll have to deal with him, not with all the cookies. Thank you so much for your advice! Love you💞

This was a good explanation of emotional eating - and good practical approach to dealing with it. First time I have heard advice I can actually apply, not just abstract concepts. Good job!

My dad recently died and I have definitely been eating to replace feeling the grief. It's interesting that sometimes I'm not hungry at all and other times I just want to eat to soothe myself. I like asking...how can I better serve myself? And will definitely try the breath work. Thanks, Dani!

[@kellymorgan3996]

This video was well presented, thanks Dani. I love how you focus on mind-body-emotion connection and progress and growth. I've become aware of my emotional eating and am doing SO much better in the past few years, but last time I was sad about a guy, I drove to the store to buy my fav chips, candy, cookies to soothe myself. I buy the smaller bags now and include an apple as well so the binge doesn't make me feel as ill, am hoping to move away from this coping strategy even more. **I LOVED how you said "you will never get full eating something that you don't want" I flash back to mindlessly scarfing down a whole bag if chips and wondering my I don't feel full. 💚

Hello friend, how are you ? It's really nice meeting you.

[@aroundthehouse8472]

Not blaming my mother for my weight, but i feel like she trained me and my brothers to turn to food when bad things happened. Cause so often i remember her saying " its ok. Look let me fix you something you like to eat. I love hamburgers. I would get upset growing up. Without really saying she was trying to make me feel better, she would choose to fix hamburgers for supper, cause she knew it would make me happy. Like i say, i am not blaming her. Buy i really feel it lead to me eating to deal with depression, or to celebrate something, or to just flat out feel better. I think i figured this out about a couple years ago. I am 52 years old. Me and my wife were laying in bed talking about losing weight. And we were watching a show about people over weight. And it was like a light switch was turned on. And now i understand why no diet has ever worked for me. But i have yet been able to harness this animal and put it back in its cage. And til i can do that, i will never lose the weight i wanna lose. But i am working on it. Or at least trying to work on it. I guess i am stupid. Cause it took me til i was 52 to realize why i eat to feed my emotions. Guess maybe some see it sooner. But i just hope its not to late to do something about it.

[@betsykallmeyer5351]

I think I can kick some of my emotional eating. But I just want to comment that I get to that point sometimes perfectly aware of the emotion, but have a sense that there’s nothing I can do about the situation that brought the emotion. For instance, the emotion of loneliness, there might be no apparent way out of it, which can enhance the emotion and therefore eating might be the inevitable alternative. In the case of loneliness, watching youtube is a good substitute, at least temporarily. Taking steps to make new relationships is the long term solution, and it is long term, because relationships take time to cultivate. Thank you for the video, you do bring inspiration in many ways!

( was good fyi) I find myself not finishing things so Gung ho, and then either get bombarded, or too many expectations not sure.. I haven't watched consistently in awhile.. but, wanting to get back doin so ( been very rough couple of yrs) .. I watched some previous videos last night.. the one on peri/menopause this is huge for me. ( have dealt with for over 10 yrs hot flashes are beyond extreme, no sleep, extreme fatigue during day, anxiety or low level, and of course weight gain) I watched the video also with Katie and the assumptions.. I laughed..😂 was so cute.. then I had to look up granola and energy bars.. was trying to find the one where I think u went through the store saying which ones were actually "good" I think I recall u saying rx and lara bars ( if buyin, if im not losing my mind may not have been u..lol) i do wanna also try making homeade peanut butter and almond milk. ( gonna search ihink u have and milk vbuying, I did just buy some cashews and pistachios,(with salt thought..🤔) and almond butter.. sorry im all over the place and not touching on the video at hand.. I have a long time to catch up on ( I think like a yr plus.. oh my gosh) but yes emot eating i know I do.. sugar is big.. for me and didn't used to b.. will watch the craving video nxt.. thx so much for listening to me ramble.. I really gotta get myself in a place that is healthy phys and emot... your kids are getting sooo big.. ( the grow tooo quickly huh) and ur over 1 million subs!
