Happy Satiated Saturday! When I was in the thick of my emotional eating and binge eating patterns, food was often used to check out instead of check in. I would even wait days to check in with myself until I saw my therapist and then burst into tears expressing everything my body had been holding onto and then the pattern would repeat where all those emotions would build inside my body leading up to a binge and a release only at one point in time where I felt safe enough to let go. If this pattern sounds familiar to you, the work here is to start to use regular meal times as opportunities to check in with yourself. There needs to be more time incorporated into your day where you connect with your body, check in with what's there, and give it space to be expressed. In this week’s episode, I talk about a new routine you can create for yourself before or after you eat to start to incorporate more opportunities to self regulate throughout your day.You can also read the transcript to this week’s episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/decrease-emotional-eatingI have some very exciting news!
