Emotional Eating in Motherhood Replay
Would you consider yourself an emotional eater? Do you find yourself eating when you're feeling emotional (e.g. anxious, depressed, sad, lonely), even though you're not physically hungry? Do you find yourself eating when you're bored or stressed? Do you have difficulty finding ways to cope with stress and anxiety, other than by eating? Are you starting to feel like food is the only way you can soothe your emotions?
If any of the above sound familiar, we have a workshop for you!
Did you know that emotional eating is pretty normal, in fact, we celebrate with food all of the time, but somehow when you’re eating to deal with negative emotions, it becomes a problem. Really, it’s only a problem if it’s the only tool you have to deal with your emotions.
Jennifer Neale, Registered Dietitian and Certified Intuitive Eating Counsellor and Dr. Melisa Arias-Valenzuela, Clinical Psychologist hosted a FREE workshop on this topic in March.
In this workshop, they chatted about:
- Why we turn to emotional eating
- Why it's common among moms
- How to cope with emotional eating and what you can do instead
- What Intuitive Eating is (and how it can help you)

I’m a busy grandma, & find myself turning to food to help manage feelings of overwhelm. I’d love to attend. Would that be okay?

Not a mama but interested in this conversation. I do tend to mama my community, maybe that counts? 😏
