Season 1
Episode 10
Published 7 years, 5 months ago
Description
Bad days happen. We can't expect ourselves to be happy and positive all the time. For many of us, avoiding negative emotions drives overeating and eating off plan. This is a common cause of why "diets" fail. You need to build skills in tolerating negative emotions to be able to weather what life throws at you without turning to food.
In this episode, I teach you an approach to start building awareness of your emotions that may be driving eating, how to tolerate them without trying to change them and how to figure out what the root causes of the emotions might be to create a plan to reduce them.
Let me know how you are applying this to your weight loss journey at http://www.weightsolutionsforphysicians.ca/tolerating.
