What An Emotional Eating Coach Does

By Joshua Foster


Someone who struggles with their weight will probably have tried just about every diet on the market. Diets can work for some people. You can find programs that are healthy and successful. However, it is the mental approach and the bad habits which are difficult to break. An emotional eating coach can be a good option to invest in when you are struggling like this.

This type of coach will have a consultation with you so they get to know more about your struggles and why you turn to food as a source of comfort. There are many things that you can do as an alternative. It is important to get down to the root of the cause and to deal with this problem.

This is a way of comforting themselves. It makes them feel better just like drugs will make an addict feel better. Essentially, you become addicted to food and this is as dangerous as becoming addicted to drugs. People will play this down saying that food is not dangerous.

However, this is not true. People can die from obesity. They have heart attacks and they suffer from high blood pressure. This can lead to diabetes and even a stroke. They may not even be aware of what is happening to their body. They also are aware that they are heavy, but they keep on eating because they are unable to break the habit.

You won't have to run into the nearest coffee shop because you know how to cope with this. Taking a few deep breaths, followed by a brief guided meditation with background music can ease your anxiety levels. You will eventually feel more calm and relaxed and realize that you are not actually hungry.

A person like this may have to go through intense therapy with a counselor who is more specialized. It is not always easy, but it will pay off at the end of the day. Of course, they still need to go to the coach because they will have the habit that they need to break. Even though they have been through this type of therapy, they are still left with the addiction.

Therapists will also give individuals attention who have this type of addiction. However, it usually consists of talk therapy. They may also provide them with tasks which they will do outside of the sessions. However, a coach can be a lot more practical. They don't just listen to what the client is saying.

It is important to stick to a routine. You should be focused during the day, otherwise you will have anxious thoughts that float into your head. These thoughts can take over your life. People become addicted to the comfort foods so these should be eliminated. You will begin to get encouraged and motivated when you see a difference in your weight and your health. Checking in with the coach every so often after you have lost the weight is important because it will help you stay mentally focused.
