Here are some ways to distinguish what is driving your hunger: Emotional Hunger Is impulsive Comes on suddenly Is a craving in the head Involves cravings for specific foods, especially those that produce a rush feeling Often eating until “stuffed” Satisfaction is usually short lived and is followed by feelings of guilt Physical Hunger: Is a physiological drive for nutrients in food Usually felt as a growling in the stomach Comes on gradually Feeling fatigues in response to not having eaten sufficiently Leads to satisfaction, regain in energy and mood Usually leads to mindful eating The three 3 essential steps to being a happy, emotion-free eater are: Good Nutrition and Intuitive Eating Learning to eat intuitively to suit your unique body type is the ultimate goal. Good nutrition builds a ‘cleaner’ body, and that sets you up to tune into the healthy signals your body is giving you.Then, you can learn to eat intuitively in a way that suits your specific body type and experiment, so you know exactly what works best for you. So instead of asking, “What should I be eating?” or “should I go on this new diet?” – you will know exactly how to fuel your body for steady energy, a healthy weight, a clear head and mental focus. Being an emotional eater, you probably also have a lot of food-related rituals in your life, as a coping mechanism for difficult situations. Re-writing these rituals is the key to your longterm emotional freedom. It starts by understanding what triggers you, and rewiring that automatic response with a healthier response.The science of neuroplasticity shows that it’s possible to change your brain and the way to respond to life.Rewiring your brain requires a dedicated approach to understanding the things that trip you up, and some repetition of a better, healthier behaviour. Most people struggle to do this on their own, and working with a professional coach can be an effective strategy to take control. Building a Healthy Mindset Your emotional eating and cravings are a window into your inner landscape. You may be avoiding looking beneath the surface as it feels vulnerable and you may feel exposed. This fear will very quickly disappear as you experience the joy found in knowing yourself. Awareness allows you to work out where you are right now, where you would rather be, and the steps to get there. Self-awareness, being honest with yourself and self-compassion will help you move in the right direction. Limiting beliefs are common in emotional eaters (e.g. “I need a chocolate to make me feel good”), and need to be dealt with, too. Structures and Rituals Part of healthy eating is making sure your environment is set up to support you.This means a bit of meal planning and preparation, so you always have healthy food on hand. 20 Maga Women Magazine
