You are listening to Weight Loss Made Real, and this is episode 130.

I'm your host, Master Weight Loss Coach and author Cookie Rosenblum. Today and every Tuesday I will

be your coach and your guide to help you end that emotional eating and lose that

extra weight. If you just found me, welcome. And if you are a regular

listener, welcome back, my friend. Here is where we talk about your habit of emotional eating, which is the main focus of all the coaching I do.

This is where coaching meets psychology, which meets brain science, and this is where your problem

ends.

So get comfortable and get ready to be coached.

Today's episode of Weight Loss Made Real, as always is brought to you by The Freedom Group.

Now, let's get started with our coaching session for today.

Today we're going to work on a topic that you may be very familiar with and that is secret

eating and I'm calling this episode secret eating who are you really hiding from now this is going to be a little bit of a different kind of coaching session for you.

With the permission of some of my Freedom Group members,

I'm going to share some of their thoughts on this subject, anonymously,

of course, from a discussion that they were having in our private freedom group forum.

So let's first just clarify, what do I mean

when I talk about secret eating?

Secret eating is eating where you have the intention

to hide what you're eating or how much you're eating. So of course it's done alone and when you do it it feels like you have something to hide.

It doesn't feel natural and it doesn't feel relaxed. Many of you say that you eat in secret

most often when you're feeling angry or sad or stressed and that food is a way to deal with negative emotions. For a lot of

you eating has nothing to do eating this way, nothing to do with the food itself.
