What An Emotional Eating Coach Does

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.

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.

A person like this may have to go through intense therapy with a counselor who is more specialized. It is not always easy, but it will pay off at the end of the day. Of course, they still need to go to the coach because they will have the habit that they need to break. Even though they have been through this type of therapy, they are still left with the addiction.

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.
