If you told yourself you could have anything you want, would you just totally go-to-town on cake, cookies, pizza and all the bad foods? I can hear you say YES, 1000% I would lose control!

In this recipe, I use fats of nuts, oils, coconut cream and flakes that naturally clench taste buds and make for a highly satisfying and nourishing dessert.

By occasionally colouring outside the lines we can sustain long-term habits and behaviours. We’re missing the point when all we focus on is food groups, calorie counting, and proportion control.

Mindset

Feeling trapped by your own emotions? You gotta know this one thing.

Client: I've noticed a pattern where I will binge eat, sleep it off or numb by watching TV, social media, etc for the day. It sounds so simple in theory to journal, or get fresh air but in reality, my default is to just reach for the ice cream and sit in front of the TV. How do you go about dealing with hard emotions without self-sabotaging the process?

How coaching helps heal emotional eating

Most people I meet assume a health coach helps people lose weight and get healthy with meal plans or new diet.

But in reality, most of my clients are already health-conscious, they’re not afraid of a chia seed pudding, and they probably switched to almond mylk years ago. What they struggle with is their relationship with food and body.

I’ve spent years speaking with smart, health-conscious women about their struggles with food and their body. 👙🍪⁣ ⁣ But now what's shifted for clients on the 'others side' of rigidity and control is the belief that their old dieting patterns can be unlearned and food freedom and body trust can be rebuilt. ⁣ ⁣ Food becomes no.big.deal. ⁣ ⁣ It doesn't take up so much space in your life! 🍔 ⁣ ⁣ You feel safe keeping “bad” foods in the house without fear of losing control, even during more stressful times.⁣ ⁣ Read what it means to drop binge and emotional eating patterns for good.⁣ ⁣ Link in bio. ☝🏼'How coaching helps heal emotional eating'
The other week I was sitting in a book store in Bondi with a cup of chai, my laptop and the best perch in the house when someone came and sat on the couch beside me. ⁣ ⁣ We made small chat over how delicious her croissant looked, how expensive it is to live in Bondi, then she asked ⁣ ⁣ “so, what do you do?!”⁣ ⁣ “I’m a Health Coach” I said. ⁣ ⁣ “So you help people with meal plans, and diets and stuff?!” she asked.⁣ ⁣ No. Not at all. ⁣ ⁣ Truth is, most people I meet assume that is what a health coach does. ⁣ ⁣ In reality most of my clients are already health-conscious, they’re not afraid of a chia seed pudding, and they probably switched to almond mylk years ago.⁣ ⁣ What these women really need help with is things like the anxiety they face when choosing what to eat, “white-knuckling it" through the day and then calming their anxieties with a full-sleeve-of-chocolate-biscuits whilst scrolling through the “What’s New” section on Netflix.⁣ ⁣ Click link in bio to read a new post that outlines what intuitive eating IS and IS NOT, as an alternative to a restrictive, diet-first mindset.⁣ ⁣ We look at what it means to drop patterns that don’t support us like emotional and binge eating.
I think nearly all of us have been on some sort of restrictive diet at some point. ⁣ ⁣ But even if we're not 'dieting' and just eating healthy we still talk the restrictive food talk "I had pasta for lunch, I shouldn't eat icecream for desert", "I was really bad today I had 🍪🍪 cookies." We're in our heads, focused on our "shoulds" that lead us further away from being able to connect with our bodies. ⁣ ⁣ What would your body say without the food rules?⁣ ⁣ Would you rebel and eat 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪cookies because the rules aren't there to keep you safe, keep you in control, keep you thin?⁣ ⁣ In my latest 🎥 blog I dive deeper into how we can let go of the safety net of diets and learn to eat more intuitively. It's titled 'What it's really like to give up dieting (for good!)'
