I absolutely love this time of year. It’s that sweet spot in Florida when the weather is perfect, after the holidays and before the bugs, boob sweat, and big hair humidity hits. Spring is in the air. Birds are chirping. Flowers are blooming. The air smells fresh and new. (Can this smell be bottled, please?!)
Over the course of the week, I spent a lot of time outside, logging miles on my bike, paddle boarding at the beach and walking around my neighborhood.
It was during a twilight power walk that I couldn’t help but admire the blooming beautiful trees… Which triggered a big ah-hah reminder moment fueling today’s episode of CCtv.
Once upon a time, several years ago, I’d admire these trees not knowing they were the root cause of my emotional eating. Back then, I had know idea that these pretty trees I loved so much were full of potent pollen that triggered me to feel tired, itchy and straight up *earmuffs* bitchy.
It was those icky feelings that had me running to the pantry, self-medicating with food…. which eventually left me feeling guilty for eating knowing that this habit was the reason why I was left feeling frustrated on the scale.
It’s amazing how unconscious emotional triggers to eat when you’re not hungry can be…
- Some people eat when they’re bored and need something to do.
- Others graze throughout the daily… Casually downing drinks and handfuls of snacks on the go and stressed.
- Some people eat even though they aren’t hungry because of guilt after being raised to “clean your plate because kids in Africa are starving!!”
Other mindless eaters have no idea why they end up in their kitchen in search of salty’s or sweets… feeling like their body’s been possessed and before you know it they’re left saying ‘I can’t believe I ate the whole thing?!?’
Now let’s be clear…. If you’re eating when you’re not truly hungry, then you’re using food, not eating food. There’s a big difference. Pounds of Fat Happen When you Eat When you’re not Hungry.
