Summary

In this episode of The Psychology of Eating Podcast, Marc David works with guest coaching client Susan around her frequent habit of stress eating. Like many of us, Susan's life was hugely impacted by COVID-19. After enjoying working from home for many months of the pandemic, Susan has returned to her workplace only to find it a pretty stressful experience. She's not so much worried about her personal safety, but is missing the sense of freedom she experienced working from home.

In their conversation, Marc coaches Susan on the psychological reasons we turn to food in times of stress, and how our eating challenges are often symbolic of our need for control and freedom in other areas of life. Marc helps Susan recognize how she can shift her stress eating - not by focusing on food, but by looking at how this unwanted eating challenge is asking her to grow as a person. As Susan acknowledges, she's ready to make some necessary changes in her relationship to her work and career, as well as ensure that she doesn't let go of the daily self-care habits she developed while working at home.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Psychology of Eating podcast, where food and body challenges are the doorway
0:08.2	into a happier, healthier life. Now, here's your host, Eating Psychology Expert, and
0:15.7	founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating, Mark David.
0:28.7	Welcome, everybody. I'm Mark David, founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating.
0:34.7	Here we are back in the Psychology of Eating podcast. I'm with Susan today. Welcome, Susan.
0:37.9	Hello, everyone. Thank you, Mark. Well, you know how this works, Susan.
0:40.8	If you can wave your magic wand and you could get whatever you want when it comes to food and body, what would that be for you?
0:50.1	I think at this point in my journey, something that's really important for me is to be able to kind of get some sort of a handle on the stress eating or emotional eating, if that's what we would call it.
1:04.6	It is better than it has been in previous years.
1:08.2	So I'd like to think that I've made some progress.
1:10.9	But there are still times when it can be troubling.

1:25.8	How often does a stress eating occur for you, would you say?
1:33.8	Maybe like on a weekly basis, maybe two to three times a week, I would say. It definitely was

1:49.3	So I've been able to manage it in most scenarios, but then there are some scenarios where it becomes very intense and it's very difficult to manage.
1:55.2	And I feel like that happens maybe one to two times per week at this point.
1:59.8	And when you say difficult to manage,
2:02.3	meaning it's difficult to just not do it,
