Episode 16 - The Emotional Eating Episode (No Judgement. Just Honesty.)

Drop me a message and let me know if there is anything you would like me to cover in a future episode.

The Emotional Eating Episode (No Judgement. Just Honesty.)

Why you eat your feelings at 9pm and what to do instead

In this episode:

Let’s just say it. You’re not eating the biscuits because you’re hungry. You’re eating them because you’re tired, overwhelmed, and the biscuits are there. I explain the three biochemical forces driving the 9pm craving (low serotonin, volatile blood sugar, and high cortisol) and why willpower was never going to be enough against all three. Then I get practical: the 10-minute pause, the real need underneath the craving, and why pleasure is a nutrient, not a luxury.

Your One Thing this week:

Next time you reach for food when you’re not physically hungry, pause for one breath and ask: what am I actually feeling right now? You don’t have to stop eating. Just name the feeling. Awareness before action.

If this described last Tuesday — or any Tuesday — send it to someone. Tell them: you’re not weak. You’re a human in menopause. And the biscuits are not your enemy.
