Have you ever thought, “Why can’t I just eat like a normal person?” Many emotional eaters have. In this episode, I’m talking about that question—where it comes from, what it really means, and how it affects the way we see ourselves and our eating habits. You’ll hear about the hidden beliefs behind thoughts like “I have no control” or “I always mess this up,” and how those thoughts create shame and frustration. I’ll walk you through ways to get curious instead of critical, and how to shift the way you talk to yourself—especially in those tough moments when food feels like the only answer. We’ll also talk about what “normal eating” even means and how to start creating a version of normal that actually works for you. This episode is about letting go of perfection, softening the shame, and learning how to support yourself in a kinder, more honest way. Join me for more like this at vickizollingercoaching.com.
