The Overthinker's Guide to Joy with Jackie de Crinis | Are You Struggling to Lose Weight?

Ep #23: Are You Struggling to Lose Weight?

February 9, 2022

There are some really interesting patterns I see in my clients, and one thing I’m seeing at the moment is a lot of people struggling to lose weight. Invariably, the single biggest obstacle here is emotional eating: buffering feelings with food.

I believe that eating healthier is an integral part of a lifestyle that involves less anxiety and stress in our bodies in general, but if you’re trying to lose weight, it’s a non-negotiable. Controlling our weight is a lifelong battle, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. However, avoiding emotional eating is a must.

Tune in this week to discover whether you’re using food as an emotional coping mechanism, and how this is impacting your weight loss. I’m sharing why this work is challenging for so many people, and my practical tips for changing your emotional relationship with food, recognizing the triggers that drive you to eat, and how to be more mindful around how you use food in your life.
