God the start of this talk makes me so uncomfortable because she's just so accurately described one of my most shameful activities.
Bold move staring off with my last diary entry
Diet, its something you go on and then you go off…. Not! I'm grateful for having found Tricia's talk. EE and ED are two peas in a pod and the more we talk about this topic and understand it, the more people would be nourishing their bodies from a place of love.
I'd always been aware of 'emotional eating' but I never knew I did it until I was having dinner with my mother after work. I got about halfway through my meal because I wasn't very hungry and then we started talking about something that was making me angry, and I started eating again. It was a pretty big 'aha' moment for me.
Love your energy! I am on the same journey I’ve lost 38lbs in less than 2 months I use to weigh 260 at my heaviest now I’m 196 and still losing weight. I can help with tips, I post weekly! Sub and let’s do this !! 😊💪🏼💕

This was so healing
I've literally had all those thoughts that she describes at the beginning of her talk.
Intermittent fasting has been a godsend for me. It has allowed me to lose and keep weight off. It’s been life changing. Having said that, I still struggle (some days more than others) with food during my eating window. It’s not so much about weight loss anymore, but it is still about binging, craving, shame, etc. Not all binge/emotional eaters are overweight.
So hard to focus when I could hear the other lady in the mic. My mind went straight to her voice and trying to figure out what she is saying instead of listening.
Good Talk !
Thank you Tricia. Such a great presentation. I’m looking for a community of people interested in having gatherings to sample healthy and easy snacking options. Kind of like a Tupperware party but with health instead. An example would be learning to bake some things with almond flour that don’t spike your insulin. My brother was diagnosed with diabetes and is overweight. I could use some inspiration for myself as well and when I am on track, maybe I can encourage him that healthy eating can be enjoyable.
I am thinking about using AA’s concept with food too.
Save the cookies, oh yes I've been there!
Me in the airforce listening at the 2:03 mark 👁👄👁
For me one of my issues is anxiety. I have hypoglycemia and I'm so scared of my blood sugar getting low. I overeat to try to prevent my blood sugar from dropping. It's hard because my blood sugar does drop and I've had to go to the hospital. I also eat sugary food because my husband gets excited to share it with me.
Thank you soooo much I’ll be passing this over to my bestie
Perfect timing 🌻🌻🌻
It's crazy to think about how much your emotions can affect!
I found her speech very annoying, especially her opening. 🤦♀️
I feel sad all the time and a moment where I feel joy is when I get to eat chicken wings, burgers and chips. She's so relatable. I literally have been through all these back and forth with food as she described
How she described food made me sick. Even if it was just an average description. Overemotional speaking makes me sick i guess.
Im eating because im stressed and i dont want to think. Im eating for my blood go down to my stomach from my brain. Im always stressed..
damn so true
I used to ignor my emotional side relationship with food, now i am learning to deal with my relationship with food. I used to love to please people and my mom my dad, and I always make myself busy not making time for myself to eat properly, and food used to be the only way for myself to reward myself.
LOVE this speaker – what an incredible storyteller!!
I found really distracting that who ever was recording audio didn't turned their microphone off. Constant sniffling and whispering is really out of place. Audio is really bad. And that is such disservice to the speaker, because she really had interesting topic.
Great…
I totally identify with your early experiences. I have felt all the shame and self hate. After a cycle of binge eating and exercising restraint for 54 years, my choices in food have improved but I still resort to bingeing every once in a while.
