In this episode, I talk about how my kids can leave their ice-cream unfinished and how it is because in our house, we do not tell anyone to stop crying. If that sounds like it can't possibly be right, then listen for the details! Action item: come up with a list of things you can do instead of emotional eating, like drinking a glass of water, going for a walk, making tea or coffee, writing in a journal, doing a bit of yard work, make a crying corner in your house and go there to cry for a bit if you need it, etc. And then do those things first when you are not hungry (or suspect you might not be hungry, if you, like me, cannot always tell the difference) before eating 10 Nutella spoons. Or whatever 10 Nutella spoons is for you.
