Are you someone who experiences a period of good weeks followed by bad weeks? Maybe you've heard yourself thinking, "I've been so good, I can afford it." This is an unhelpful thought that we hear pretty regularly from our clients and it's something we call "The Overconfidence Trap". Someone usually falls into this trap when they are doing well with their eating and health behaviors and feeling successful, only to be thrown off their game.

Join us for this episode as we share how the overconfidence trap can show up in your journey to becoming a confident, sensible eater. Through careful observation and gradual reinforcement of your successful habits, you can maintain progress without falling into overconfidence.

"I want to eat like a normal person". That's what people tell us over the phone, on Zoom, via email, or written into our new client assessment.

In today's episode, we want to explore with you what it means to be a 'normal eater,' and highlight that normal eating encompasses a range of behaviors rather than a specific definition.

We delve into how comparisons and societal expectations can skew perceptions of normal eating and introduce the concept of 'confident, sensible eating,' which focuses on healthy, balanced, and stress-free approaches to food.

Join us as we offer you insights into how people can transition towards a more confident and sensible eating style, emphasizing the importance of mental well-being, variety in diet, and enjoying food without guilt or obsession.

Have you noticed a pattern in your life where you use food to solve all the things? Whether you are cold, tired, behind schedule or intimidated or unsure or angry, does your brain say "should we eat something?" Even if you aren't hungry at all?

This is exactly how emotional eating makes us act: We find ourselves using the same action (eating) to respond to any kind of feeling rather than stopping to discern what's actually happening and choosing a response from the many available options.

Well, my friend, you are not alone! Emotional eating is fairly common and "just trying to stop" is rarely successful.

Join Georgie and Christina in today's episode, which is the third and final installment of our Emotion Regulation series as we cover some of the more advanced skills that we teach our clients to help them leave behind emotional eating and binge eating.
