Working With An Emotional Eating Coach

By Joshua Foster


Just about everyone has been on a diet at some point in their lives. This happens because you want to lose a couple of points to feel better within yourself or you want to feel more healthy. However, it is difficult to go ahead with this when it is more psychologically related. In a case like this, it can do a lot of good to invest in an emotional eating coach.

This type of coach will have a consultation with you so they get to know more about your struggles and why you turn to food as a source of comfort. There are many things that you can do as an alternative. It is important to get down to the root of the cause and to deal with this problem.

This is a way of comforting themselves. It makes them feel better just like drugs will make an addict feel better. Essentially, you become addicted to food and this is as dangerous as becoming addicted to drugs. People will play this down saying that food is not dangerous.

However, this is not true. People can die from obesity. They have heart attacks and they suffer from high blood pressure. This can lead to diabetes and even a stroke. They may not even be aware of what is happening to their body. They also are aware that they are heavy, but they keep on eating because they are unable to break the habit.

People usually think of an addict as someone who has problems with drugs or alcohol. However, food can be just the same. It is also dangerous because it can lead to diabetes, obesity and other health problems. When you are overweight, you are not comfortable. You have a poor self image and a low self esteem.

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.

The mindful aspect to losing weigh has been very effective over the last couple of years. Most people with these sorts of problems have tried one diet after the next. But it is the mental aspect that sets them back every time. The mindful approach is so helpful because it trains your brain to help you know when you are hungry.

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.
