In talking about Emotional Eating, we tend to not think about how mindfulness relates to peace with food. 
Mindfulness is the focus of being in our bodies. Mindfulness increases your ability to be an Intuitive Eater better than most other methods. Being mindful is simple it just not easy, because we put lots of other activities ahead of mindfulness.

In talking about Emotional Eating, it is helpful to determine if you are one. Right? 
Emotional eating means you are not dealing with emotions in a way that will fix the problem. The food can help emotions temporarily, but it is not the fix. Emotions need to be dealt with so there is a resolution. When food is used as the resolutions for emotions, the emotions aren’t settled: truthfully it will exacerbate the emotions. 
Join us in this Feed Your Soul with Kim Podcast where we discuss:
ü  6 questions to determine if you are an emotional eater.

First, let’s start with the facts
 It is predicted that the Global market for the weight loss industry will grow from $254.9 billion in 2021 to $377.3 billion by 2026.
We have all be trained that the only option to deal with overeating and weight concerns is dieting. That is the consistent message we have all heard since childhood. Many families by into this concept and put their children and teens on a diet, which is a predictor for eating disorders for those who are predisposed to eating disorders. 
We are sold weight loss products at an alarmin rate. They are heavily marketed at the first of the year and prior to summer aka “bikini season.” We are told by the weight loss industry that we are not ok at the size we are and that we need to lose weight to be “healthy.” There is imagery that people who are thin are happy and people who are overweight are sad and lonely.  We have been sold a bill of goods- literally.
The diet mindset has been planted in use at a young age and it is pervasive throughout our lives unless we combat it. 
1)      We think we need to be a certain size.
2)      Society teaches us that we cannot accept our bodies except if we are thin. 
3)      There is a scale driven mindset where we must have a certain number on the scale to think that we are good enough or desirable. 
What do we know about diets?
·         First, they focus on deprivation. There are forbidden foods, and we want what we cannot have.
·         Second, diets make us focus on food all the time.
·         Third, diets lead us to see food as good or bad. 
 
How can you ditch the diet? 
1.       Ask yourself, what is dieting to me? Is it a constant focus on food, scale and what I can’t have?
2.       Are you focused on your weight?
3.       Learn to eat intuitively.
It takes time and support to ditch the diet mindset, because it is so pervasive in our culture. Be sure to get in a community where others are focused on letting go of the diet mindset AND give yourself the opportunity to learn about intuitive eating to let go of dieting. This is put you in step with a process that will lead to food freedom.
