If you’ve been telling yourself, “I’ll feel better once I lose the weight,” I want you to consider something different.
In this episode, I share a listener’s response that captures why emotional health matters so much in weight loss.
We often focus on improving our physical health first, believing that once we lose weight, we’ll finally feel better. But what if learning to manage your emotions needs to come first?
I share why emotional eating isn’t always about physical hunger, what it means to comfort yourself without food, and why true self-compassion isn’t simply giving yourself whatever you want in the moment. It’s learning to recognize your emotional needs and respond in a way that’s good for you in the long term.
If you’ve been struggling with weight for years, I hope this gives you a different way to think about your relationship with food and yourself.
