I get it, emotional eating is a real struggle. You're not alone. I used to be a total emotional eater myself. Whenever I was stressed, bored, or feeling down, I'd turn to food for comfort. It was my go-to coping mechanism.
But here's the thing - emotional eating isn't about willpower. It's about your emotions, baby. Your brain is wired to see food as a quick fix for those uncomfortable feelings. And let me tell you, diets ain't the answer. They just leave you feeling deprived and more likely to binge later on.

I'll also share a game-changing strategy called the "One Choice Challenge" that can help rewire your relationship with food. Spoiler alert: it involves buying your trigger foods, but don't worry, I'll walk you through it.
Plus, I've got a boss move for stopping emotional eating in the moment, and some killer replacement tactics to help you break the cycle for good. Think deep breathing, journaling, and calling your bestie.
So if you're ready to ditch the guilt and finally make peace with food, buckle up. This episode is about to change the game.DM me in my IG @personaltrainer_turo and tell me: Whatâs your biggest struggle with emotional eating?
