Ever felt like your eating was out of control? That you couldn't stop? Have you ever eaten out of stress, frustration or overwhelm?
In this episode, Nadege (Nan) Saysana dives into the deeper reasons behind emotional eating and yo-yo dieting—and how our thoughts play a powerful role in shaping our habits.
Using the analogy of a rubber band, she share how being overly restrictive with food often leads to bingeing, not because of lack of willpower, but due to stress, frustration, and exhaustion.
Nan breaks down the idea that thoughts lead to emotions, which drive our actions—and that by becoming aware of our thoughts, we can shift our emotional responses and make better choices. You'll learn how to create a "menu of thoughts" to choose from each day, and how your mindset directly influences the kind of food you reach for.
Key takeaways:
- Food is often used to mask emotional pain.
- You can choose your thoughts—and that choice gives you power.
- Don’t believe every thought; they aren’t always facts.
- Focus on who you want to become and gather evidence to support that vision.
- Learn from failures without blame or shame.
- Replace being furious with being curious—and keep moving forward.
This episode is all about taking back your power with awareness, curiosity, and compassion—starting exactly where you are.
