Ep. 125 How To Just Eat It: Chapter 5 - Understanding Emotional Eating

Don't Salt My Game | With Laura Thomas, PhD

Welcome to this special series of Don’t Salt My Game celebrating the release of my new book How to Just Eat It. For the next several weeks, I’ll be posting two new episodes of the podcast (Tuesdays and Fridays) that correspond with a chapter of the book to help you take your learning further and deepen your intuitive eating practice. How To Just Eat It is out now! Episode 6 of this series will drop on Friday 22nd Jan!

In today’s episode I’m talking to Jess Sprengle, a therapist specialising in disordered eating and eating disorders, who is perhaps best known for her Meme Mondays on her Instagram account @thecrankytherapist. In this episode we’re talking about emotional eating and how we can come to understand it from a more compassionate perspective.

In this episode we talk about:

• An eating disorder therapist’s take on emotional eating
• Why we can’t divorce our emotions from eating
• Differentiating emotional hunger and hunger due to restriction of food
• How restriction can show up in different areas of our lives
• Tapping into our emotional coping toolkit (and how to reinforce the one we already have)
• And loads more mic drop moments!

Plus catch another definition for your glossary on page 35/36 of HTJEI - this time from anti-diet dietitian Christy Harrison.
