How An Emotional Eating Coach Works

By Joshua Foster


Someone who struggles with their weight will probably have tried just about every diet on the market. Diets can work for some people. You can find programs that are healthy and successful. However, it is the mental approach and the bad habits which are difficult to break. An emotional eating coach can be a good option to invest in when you are struggling like this.

You shall find that this is more of a lifestyle that you will get used to, rather than a diet. It is the mindset that will begin to change. You will work on the psychological aspect, asking yourself more about whether you are really hungry. You will find alternative ways in which you are able to cope with your emotions.

This is a habit and not easy to break, but there are methods to turn to which the coach will help you feel more comfortable with. You start to work with more practical aspects, and this can be a hobby that you enjoy doing. Therefore, you will begin to focus on what you are doing. At the same time you get enjoyment and satisfaction from this.

You will find that once you have tackled the problems in your life, you will be less emotional and there is less of a need to dive into the carbohydrates and the sugars which give you more comfort. However, it is a habit which is difficult to break. Someone like this has become an addict, and you have trained the brain to eat whenever there is a problem.

You won't have to run into the nearest coffee shop because you know how to cope with this. Taking a few deep breaths, followed by a brief guided meditation with background music can ease your anxiety levels. You will eventually feel more calm and relaxed and realize that you are not actually hungry.

You have to learn to be satisfied in other ways without turning to food. People get enjoyment from other relationships. But you have to do something for yourself. It can be arts and crafts or participating in a sport. You may enjoy gardening or riding a bike. In this way you forget about physically eating, and you become focused on another sense of fulfilment.

Therapists will also give individuals attention who have this type of addiction. However, it usually consists of talk therapy. They may also provide them with tasks which they will do outside of the sessions. However, a coach can be a lot more practical. They don't just listen to what the client is saying.

You will begin to ask yourself whether you really need that chocolate or whether you are simply going to eat it because it is a habit. Of course, it can take time to get to this point. The coach is there to offer support. You will check in every week and you will take note of your improvements, and notice how you have progressed over this time. You will also begin to discover what areas you need to work on. The relationship between the client and the coach are also most important.
