EP. 241- THE FULL SIT [tool for emotional eating, fully allowing emotions]

<p>Most weight re-gain and weight loss plateaus happen because of emotional over-eating.</p> <p>Another way to say this:</p> <p>Using food and eating in order to 'manage' certain emotions.</p> <p>Here's a quick list of the kinds of emotions women tend to over eat about:<br /> <em data-stringify-type="italic">Stress, overwhelm, pressure, feeling 'burned out', shame, worry, uncertainty, failure, boredom, feeling 'not enough', urgency, dissatisfaction (...& more!)</em></p> <p>It's an ineffective coping mechanism, but yet it makes sense because as humans our brains are wired to want to seek pleasure & avoid pain (Psychology's Motivational Triad)</p> <p>Which is why, one of THE MOST important skills for losing 'the last 10' pounds <em data-stringify-type="italic">(insert your goal here</em>) is the essential life-skill of allowing emotions.</p> <p>EMOTIONAL COURAGE is the willingness and ability to be with and allow the full spectrum of human emotions.</p> <p>What I often see is the as my clients are developing the skill of experiencing their emotions (instead of eating about them) they only sorta--kinda, and for limited-amount-of-time allow the emotion, which leads to eventually emotionally over eating when this is the case.</p> <p>For these reasons, it's important to be able to self-assess if you're FULLY allowing the emotion you're experiencing OR only <em data-stringify-type="italic">kinda--sorta</em>, for-a-limited-amount-of-time.</p> <p><strong data-stringify-type="bold">In this episode, I teach you a BRAND NEW CONCEPT: THE FULL SIT.</strong></p> <p>You'll be able to use this concept as a tool for checking in, and assessing if you are fully allowing your emotional experiences, or not.</p> <p>If you still end up eating things you know do NOT move you closer to your goal, and if you find yourself still emotionally overeating (<em data-stringify-type="italic">eating when you've been feeling overwhelmed, bored, disappointed...</em>) even though you feel like you ARE allowing and experiencing some of these emotions -
