How I Overcame Emotional Eating and Dropped the Weight | Aiken Chia

I did it, I hired an emotional/binge eating coach and got real about my struggles with diet, how I related with myself, and therefore, how I related with food. But the story isn't just about me, Natassia Dsouza shares her story of how she lost 60kg, put 40kg back on and what she learned about food beyond a physical training regime. We uncover so many important lessons and if you're someone just like us who has been struggling with food, diet, binge-eating, or emotional eating, this one, could be the start a life changed. ‪@natassiadsouza‬ 00:00 - What is an emotional eating coach? 02:39 - The difference between a coach and a therapist 04:05 - Why I Signed Up for Coaching 05:55 - Natassia's was 145kg at her heaviest and how she lost 65kg 12:03 - How Natassia identified that she had problem with food 16:20 - How we can process our emotions instead of using food as a coping mechanism 20:53 - Practical steps to start embracing our emotions 24:40 - How childhood trauma could be related to emotional or binge-eating 27:40 - How I used food to soothe my emotions as a child 32:40 - How I used food to soothe my emotions as an adult 37:40 - Letting go of the childhood narratives that no longer serves you 41:17 - What happens when we don't suppress our feelings or numb out? 43:47 - Countering the narrative of "not enough" 45:02 - Conceptualizing a future-version of yourself 46:50 - It is NOT an issue of WILLPOWER 50:34 - What is the reward loop and how we can rewire it? 54:15 - How we can reparent ourselves into a better future 55:35 - If you can't say no to people, how can you say no to food? 58:25 - The faster you lose the weight, the quicker you'll put it on 1:01:16 - Establishing trust with yourself and your weight 1:03:30 - How to be back in the driver's seat of your weight 1:05:42 - Why we should embrace failure and not avoid it 1:08:33 - People-pleasing vs doing this for yourself 1:12:00 - What would you say to those of us who are struggling with food and our weight?
