If you've ever found yourself in a seemingly endless cycle of mindlessly wandering into the kitchen, eating something you know you "shouldn't", and then feeling guilty and powerless to stop, then today's podcast episode is for you. Oftentimes we think that it's keeping certain foods in the house that is the problem, when really it's the fact that we have some unmet emotional need that is triggering our habitual coping mechanism.We often refer to this coping mechanism as emotional eating.
