Why Overachieving Women Often Suffer from Emotional Eating and How to Overcome It
832 Melissa McCreery: Too Much On Her Plate
How to Become the CEO of Your Own Time and Energy and Address Your Hidden Hungers
If you’ve been to the Barbie movie, no doubt the famous show-stopping monologue performed by actress America Ferrera struck a chord.
“You have to be thin, but not too thin. And you can never say you want to be thin. You have to say you want to be healthy, but also you have to be thin. You have to have money, but you can’t ask for money because that’s crass. You have to be a boss, but you can’t be mean. You have to lead, but you can’t squash other people’s ideas…”
It’s complicated, right?
And when it comes to food, so many smart and overachieving women have a complicated relationship with eating that keeps them in an endless cycle of denial, deprivation, and self-sabotage.
So how can we overcome what Melissa McCreery calls the “hidden hungers” that lead to emotional eating?
Melissa is the CEO and founder of Too Much on Her Plate. A clinical psychologist and expert in emotional eating, she’s on a mission to change our relationship with food and eliminate all the guilt, deprivation, fear and control issues around dieting and overeating. Melissa also hosts the podcast Too Much on Her Plate.
- Why women, who are so capable and successful in every other area of their lives, can get locked in patterns of overeating, emotional eating, or weight struggles.
- Why traditional approaches are not working (or keeping women stuck in cycles of endlessly starting over “on Monday.”)
- How to break the cycle of denial and deprivation mentality.
- Hidden hungers and why food replaces other emotional and physical needs.
- Why labels like emotional eating and stress eating aren’t necessarily helpful and why looking at the concept of Hidden Hungers is so crucial to breaking cycles with overeating or emotional eating.
- The 4 pillars for creating freedom from overeating and why starting this journey from a place of strength and empowerment is so crucial (and unusual).
- How to become the CEO of your own time and energy, and create “forever freedom”.
- The concept of “Missing Peace” and why it is so transformational.
- And much more
