Today we're diving into the topic of stress eating, emotional eating and binge eating.
Understanding the root causes of these unhealthy eating habits can help us break the cycle and build a healthier relationship with food.
We'll take a look at how stress affects our bodies and minds, and how journaling can be a highly effective tool for improving mental health and well-being.
One of the pioneers in this field is the psychotherapist Dr. Ira Progoff, with his method the "Intensive Journal" he helped patients gain a deeper understanding of themselves, experiences and emotions.
I'll give you tips on how to identify your stress triggers and how to journal effectively to address them.
Whether you're an adult looking to overcome stress eating, emotional eating or binge eating or a parent looking to teach your children healthy habits, this video is for you. Join us as we explore this topic and give you the tools you need to succeed. -
Explore how to practice mindful eating as a way to overcome emotional eating and binge eating. Mindful eating is a powerful tool for promoting healthy eating habits and can help prevent food cravings, over-eating, and binge eating.
It's all about paying full attention to the experience of eating, including the sights, smells, flavors, and textures of food, as well as the feelings and thoughts that arise during eating. We'll be using a raisin as our mindful eating practice tool, but feel free to use a piece of chocolate instead for a more delicious experience!
We'll also be sharing four simple steps for practicing mindful eating with kids, and will be walking you through an eight-step mindful eating exercise with the raisin.
So grab a raisin (or a piece of chocolate) and join us as we learn how to overcome emotional eating and binge eating through the practice of mindful eating.

Are you struggling to understand if your child is an emotional or stress eater and how to deal with it?
In this episode, I'll be sharing a three-step method to help you understand the causes of emotional and stress eating in children, find better ways to soothe their emotional needs through mindful eating, and break the cycle of emotional and stress eating.
Emotional and stress eating are patterns of behavior that occur more than once a week, such as coping with emotions or stress through food, sneaking and hiding food, feeling shame or guilt after eating, experiencing cravings for food out of the blue, or constantly asking for food even when you're not hungry.
To understand the causes of emotional and stress eating, try to understand why food is their go-to and help them find other ways to cope with their emotions and manage stress, such as exercise or mindfulness.
Mindful eating can also be an effective tool in helping your child regulate their emotions and stress eating.
Finally, break the cycle of emotional and stress eating and build awareness around healthy habits.
With patience and understanding, you can guide your child toward a healthy and balanced relationship with food.

7 things that will keep your child from getting on board with healthy living or losing weight and how to approach it differently:
Trying to convince your child why it's important!
It's not only about the child who needs to lose weight, it's about the entire family change. Singling out or expecting the child to do things you or others are not doing is unfair.
Your child may believe that they can't do it if you are inconsistent in the changes you start making at home; whenever you stop, they will think they have failed.
Putting a child on a diet that they won't be able to maintain long-term!
In your efforts to get your child healthy, you can't become emotionally involved. Try new foods, and invite them to exercise with you. The more you worry about your child's response, the more stressed your child will be.
It's not about losing weight, it's about losing bad habits.
Short-term goals that make your child feel like they are failing_______________________________________________________

Branding and advertising your child's healthier foods will help you get them to try new foods.
Wondering why McDonald's calls their kids' burgers a happy meal?
This is a brilliant way to spice up boring food!
Another example would be "small pieces of chicken" sound tasty? Definitely not!!!And what about "Nuggets", much better, right?
By changing the name of their meals, McDonald's and other successful restaurants can change people's perceptions of food and make millions of dollars more!
Now that you know their small dairy secret, you can do it too. Perspective is everything!

Does your child really hungry?
I bet you know those times when your child says he or she is hungry, but you know it doesn't make sense since he or she just ate. It is true, they are not hungry, but they won't know that since this has been ingrained in their brains since childhood!!
If your child isn't able to distinguish between the "different types of hunger" (boredom, thirst, temptation, emotion, habits, etc...) their mind will keep thinking that every kind of those situation makes them feel hungry!
What can you do about it?
- Stop fighting with your child about whether they are hungry or not because it triggers emotions and puts them in survival mode.
- Try finding out which type of hunger they are most struggling with (by yourself)!
- Add more awareness between the moment your child thinks they are hungry and how they really feel, to break the old pathways.
- Get your kids into a routine that will help them stay away from mindless eating

It is not easy to deal with food addiction in kids who are overweight or struggling to lose weight, and sometimes it can be really frustrating because you have to fight with your child over food almost every day and after all your efforts, you can find out that your child simply keeps sneaking food behind your back.
Let me start by saying that I know it's hard for you! Even if it doesn't seem that way, your child probably feels that he/she is disappointing you on a daily basis, which is the last thing they want to do!
If your child is constantly talking about food, always thinking about the next meal, and simply can't stop eating, then he or she may be addicted to food.
We'll discuss food addiction in children in today's episode and how to handle it effectively, enjoy.

The 7 steps to talking with kids about weight loss without making them feel bad or uncomfortable!
-Talking about weight loss is NOT the first step; we need to start with a good, healthy foundation so the child doesn't feel under attack.
-To begin with, stop being the food police and take a few steps back from being in charge of everything.
-This will lead to the second step of helping your child open up to you and feel more comfortable talking with you about the things that are bothering them.
-It's important to make sure your child understands that this isn't about them and that this is a family change, your goal is to start implementing some changes as a family that all of them can stick to (for at least 6 weeks).
-A fourth step is to educate your family (not just the struggling child) without making them feel uncomfortable about their bed decision.
-Talk to your child about how they feel about their weight (if they are under 6 years old, you do not need to do this because they generally do not see it as something different).
-The most important thing you can do for your child is to let them know they are not alone, and that you have struggled with many of the same issues yourself. Let yourself be vulnerable and open up (your relationship will reach a whole new level).
-The last thing you should do is talk with your child about where they are at the moment and what our goals are as a family (just make sure you set long-term goals rather than weight loss goals, as weight loss will come when the right habits become ingrained in their lives).
A good talk is not about what you say, but more about what you ask. They should talk 80% of the time, not you.

Children's eating disorders are not caused by weight loss or diet discussions!
Children who don't have the right tools to deal with what they are struggling with will usually use any kind of tool they can find. Unfortunately, many of those tools are just temporary fixes that will lead to even more frustration.
The sooner you start educating your child, the better equipped they will be to handle any challenges they may face when they grow up!
