Weight Loss Doesn't Have to Suck

99: Breaking the Stress Eating Cycle

Kimberly Severson Season 1 Episode 99

Ever notice how stress seems to magnetically pull you toward the kitchen? In this episode, I dive into the fascinating connection between stress and our behaviors around food. I'll reveal what's actually happening in your brain and body during these moments—why we reach for those comforting, highly palatable foods and how this creates that frustrating cycle of stress, eat, shame, repeat that keeps us stuck.

I'm sharing the exact framework that transformed my relationship with stress and helped me break free from emotional eating. You'll learn about the powerful RAIN technique that creates that crucial pause between feeling stressed and reaching for food, plus practical alternatives that actually address what your body and mind truly need. This episode is packed with actionable strategies because while stress isn't going anywhere in our lives, our response to it can absolutely change. If you've ever found yourself eating to escape uncomfortable emotions, this conversation is the game-changer you've been waiting for!
