If you are a woman who turns to food for comfort, treats herself with food for a “job well done” or feels like food is calling her name and you are looking to overcome emotional eating and get freedom from thinking about food all the time, then you likely already know you need to deal with the emotions that are really bothering you.

So, I’ll spare you the lecture.

No need to be a broken record and try to convince you of something that you’ve already told yourself a million times, or more.

After all, you probably already know that dealing with the emotions that are bothering you is the key tipping point that will allow you to stop stress eating, mindlessly snacking and self-sabotaging your efforts to be healthy.

You’ve probably also heard that mindfulness is a key method for overcoming emotional eating that with practice, you can succeed.

GIVE YOU FREEDOM FROM USING FOOD TO MANAGE STRESS

Even if you’ve tried to stop snacking a million times before, once you learn the easy Excuse Prevention Method you will drastically improve your ability to avoid snacking when you get stressed out, allowing you to have peace of mind and not eat your way through your next crisis.

SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE YOUR SELF-SABOTAGING BEHAVIOR OF SNACKING WHEN YOU’RE BORED, LONELY OR FRUSTRATED

Gain improved self-confidence, more success with reaching your goals and feeling in control of food as you learn to boss your thoughts and start making better-for-you choices, in the heat of the moment.

DRAMATICALLY IMPROVE YOUR ABILITY TO CONTROL YOURSELF AROUND FOOD IN SOCIAL SITUATIONS

Make hanging out with friends and family a time of fellowship and real connection, not just another excuse to overeat and indulge, therefore avoid feeling overly stuffed, lethargic and finally stop asking yourself “why did I do that, again?”

OVERCOME YOUR LONG-STANDING HABIT OF USING FOOD FOR COMFORT

Learning how to deal with your emotions makes you the boss of food. You’ll no longer have to rely on willpower to avoid mindlessly eating the whole bag of chips, popcorn or even the entire sleeve of cookies and saying “how did that happen?” and then wondering why you’re still hungry. Instead, you’ll recognize the triggering emotion when it hits, get control of your thoughts and instead of avoiding the issue at hand, you will have the freedom to confidently deal with your emotions without turning to food.

SIGN UP FOR ANOTHER WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM?

Sure, but which one to try this time? Perhaps in your moments of highest motivation, you’ve made the commitment to start again.

You’ve talked to friends, done several google searches, read success stories of others who have overcome emotional eating with a particular program, and maybe even looked at your budget to see if you could swing the cost of yet another one.

If you’re super committed, maybe you’ve even signed up for a few newsletters or even for a 30-day challenge, assuring yourself that you’d join in every day and do it all this one last mystical, pie-in-the-sky time.

Even with the best intentions, most who want to overcome emotional eating end up quitting the challenge a few days in or never even read the newsletters, allowing sadness, self-doubt and gripping disappointment to swoop in with a vengeance, leaving them to wallow in despair at yet another failed attempt to slay the fire-breathing emotional eating dragon.

Moving on... Here’s why most would-be emotional eating overcomers abandon their efforts. Without a super clear step-by-step protocol to immediately use to deal with your emotions, most would-be emotional eating overcomers completely lose their motivation, get discouraged and quit.

They fall victim to peer pressure, or worse, the voices in their head repeatedly telling them that it’s ok to give in this one time, that it won’t hurt anything if they have a handful of popcorn, chips, or 3 cookies; maybe the culprit is their lack of a compelling enough “why” to push them through the incessant craving/urge to soothe their emotions with food.

Here’s why this is so irreversibly crippling. As a woman with a full life, friends, family, and a day job to hold down, you literally can not afford to keep letting your emotional eating hold you back from your goals and living your best life.

Those moments when you keep giving in to the urges and cravings to soothe your emotions and it’s nearly impossible to stop yourself and put down the snacks? I get it - you're not alone.

Therefore, learning the mindset tools and the Excuse Prevention Method are a few of the main things you need to have at your disposal immediately.

Luckily for you, there are actually very few people out there who are doing it right. In all likelihood, you either keep trying and have repeatedly failed at this or have tried so many things that you have even given up entirely.

KEEP YOUR SUCCESS HIGH, EVEN WHEN YOUR MOTIVATION IS LOW

That means even if you’ve always known what to do, there is still a golden opportunity for you to step up your game, stop your snacking and tame those urges that are as strong as the crash of a big ocean wave. That is if you can avoid the dangerous pitfall of relying on your sheer willpower to see yourself through them, like you’ve done in the past.

• They are people pleasers - they put everyone else’s needs before their own

•  They seek comfort, possibly from a painful past or the misery of their current lives

•  They are bored or lonely or angry or even happy

•  They are stressed out

THE MINDSET UPGRADES OR SHIFTS YOU NEED TO MAKE RIGHT NOW TO DEAL WITH YOUR EMOTIONS AND GET YOUR EMOTIONAL EATING UNDER CONTROL

Dealing with your emotions isn’t impossible or unattainable, but there are many layers to un-peel and potential moments of sadness along the way. You might be telling yourself "I don’t want to bring up issues and risk upsetting anyone", "there’s nothing I can do to change the situation" or "I’d rather not go back in time and drudge up those memories". These are just a few of the many feelings you may have to deal with along the way to defeating emotional eating.

Most women approach dealing with their emotions as something to suppress, hide or avoid. That’s the belief we’re deconstructing here. But the thing is, you can’t treat overcoming emotional eating as just another motivation, self-help or mindset strategy, tactic or system. It’s an immensely valuable and fragile opportunity that, when approached correctly, can allow you to not only safely allow those feelings you are currently avoiding but also begin to have more joy in your life.

Even though the popularity of mindset training materials is a MASSIVE and quickly growing area, its not an evenly distributed one. A few people will try out the HEAVILY advertised and celebrity endorsed national programs while others will shy away, doing nothing, and stay stuck.

The main reason for this, as you’ve likely seen by now, is that while the barriers to starting these programs is relatively easy, the barriers to sticking with them towards effective execution are high. Effective execution is emphasized here for a reason.

But, as long as you can avoid the biggest minefields that cripple most emotional eaters, the path is paved for you to finally deal with your emotions, one that allows you to stop stress eating, mindlessly snacking, using food for comfort and defeating your willpower while keeping you on track towards achieving your health goals.

The complete A-Z mind-map guide for confidently dealing with your emotions without having to go too deep.

I’ve taken everything I’ve learned while maintaining a 97-pound weight loss and helping 100s of others do the same, and channeled this into a comprehensive step-by-step program that not only teaches you proven brain science and industry-researched psychological material, but also the execution of how you can do the same.

The Food Boss Academy® isn’t so much a training program to teach you ‘what to do’ as it is an implementation program for ‘how to do it’.

Yes, you’ll learn the strategies and mindset shifts needed for everything you do, but also, and more importantly, you’ll have a meticulous step-by-step program that leaves nothing out and takes nothing for granted as you implement it.

Now that you’re ready to face those demanding snack attacks head on, its time to shed some light on them and take control of their hold on you. Here you’ll call them out for who they are, take a look at when they happen, who or what brings them on and how often they occur.

Even if you know these things and have tried to stop snacking a million times in your life, this module will break this down into simple and easy to manage categories that will finally make you feel confident and strong about dealing with your emotions, especially when your motivation gets weak.

•  Implement the 3-Step Snack-Attack Protocol Process I teach to my one-on-one clients and still use myself, that finally puts you in the conductor’s seat of your brain’s often speeding train of streaming thoughts

Once you know what events, people, situations and circumstances cause you to eat emotionally, you’re ready to specifically identify and link them to what you’re feeling at the exact moment you reach for a snack. You’ll take the first step towards identifying the feelings you have before, during and after your snacking event.

Here you’ll list out the feelings you have before you indulge in your snack, wherein your body these feelings show up and you’ll acknowledge how you feel while you’re eating the snack and after you have consumed it as well.

Even if you don’t want to go deep into the reasons “why” you have those feelings, this module will give you the insight and clarity into “how” these feelings are keeping you reaching for snacks, when you really wish you hadn’t.
