Today I’m with Nia Wesley with Kens5 News in San Antonio! She’s a fantastic client of mine and we are sitting down to discuss stress and emotional eating. Nia and I were considering doing a show where we tracked her progress of losing weight rapidly. After discussing her food and diet history, we decided to get real and discuss food addiction and stress eating.
Nia has a powerful story about stress eating and her daily struggle with food. Nia noticed her weight gain slowly creep on during the final years of college and one fad diet after another, she had a break through about her mentality towards food. My dad used to poke fun about how I was a human garbage disposal and it was that moment I knew my eating habits were not normal. Nervous eating was comforting and at age 7, Nia’s Aunt pointed out that she was getting hefty. After getting help for the nervousness and anxiety, her path has just started the healing process.
Nia discusses her childhood, realizing her nervousness is anxiety, and getting counseling helped her change her eating habits and grow in her journey. She shares coping techniques to deal with her anxiety in a healthy, positive, and constructive way. Walking outdoors has really helped her find peace within and the situations that are happening in her life. Drinking water and getting enough sleep are two simple things that she’s done to change her health.
We discuss her self-discovery and her tips to maybe help you take that first step towards your health and fitness journeys! Nia says, “Don’t give up on yourself!”
