Something I learned the hard way; you use food to fill a void, whether it be loneliness, boredom, comfort or happiness. You eat because you feel overweight, stressed, sad and to cheer yourself up. But actually, you keep yourself trapped because you feel even more terrible after over indulging, the guilt weighs you down emotionally, mentally and you end up gaining even more weight physically. It's a vicious cycle and it's exhausting.

I've been there! I gained 17kgs (2 stone/37lbs) from emotional eating back in 2018-2021. Turns out I was drowning my sorrows in food. The emotional roller coaster of a bad break up (and being cheated on) that I never truly dealt with, meant there was a lot of emotion left unresolved and those urges had to be directed somewhere, for me it was food.

I felt restricted, deprived and carried with me an overwhelming sense of failure, as well as becoming a pro at beating myself up and being obsessed with food. If I wasn’t eating, I was thinking about what I should and shouldn’t eat, it was crazy. It's safe to say food took over my life.

I'd eat to make myself feel better, but then feel terrible for eating so then I'd eat again. I'd end up bingeing on whatever I could most of the time in retaliation to the restriction from diets I was following, it was a crazy vicious cycle that I couldn't get out of on my own. I got stuck in the diet mentality BIG TIME. I couldn't eat anything without thinking about the calorie content and how that might effect the number on the scales.

My emotional eating seemed to get worse and worse, food was my only moment of happiness and was a great distraction from thinking about the break up! I would sneak certain foods; big bars of chocolate, packs of cakes and eat them all, I wouldn't be able to stop, then the guilt would kick in big time. I would do all of this in secret - as though I was hiding it from someone - but the person I really didn’t want to see it was me! I was lying to myself. But I felt stuck - like there was no way out of my terrible mess and food made it momentarily better.

The thing was, the happiness from the food only lasted temporarily and when this passed the 'real problem' was still there, add to this a ton of guilt for eating the chocolate, cake, crisps or whatever it was that day I’d over indulged in, and you had the recipe for what felt like an inescapable mess!

After years of going round in circles and 'failing' at diets, I had my light bulb moment. I realised that diets were not the answer because no matter how many calories I counted, how many steps I did on the treadmill, how many weight loss pills and powders I took, it was not addressing the real problem; the emotion from the break up causing the emotional eating (and a bunch of other stuff from life that had been weighing me down.)

I began working on myself, my mindset and the unresolved emotion instead of governing calories and focusing on my food and the results were life changing.

Food became food again, no stress, no guilt, no anxiety, just food, something I actually enjoyed and felt relaxed about. Getting dressed in the morning no longer consisted of finding the best thing to disguise my body and going out with friends became fun again instead of stressing over what I would eat and how I would look.

In 2011 I qualified in NLP, Hypnotherapy and Life Coaching and went on to do my Master studies in these too. This gave me the tools to make permanent change on a deep, unconscious level and to help other women in the same way too. Combining the tools I learned here, plus my own experience, research and understanding around emotions and food I have created the Mind Over Muffin Method that is getting incredible results around the world.

In December 2020 I became a mum and had my beautiful daughter Mia. I had a really lovely pregnancy and experience of early motherhood. This time in a woman's life can be very challenging with all the physical changes that take place in your body, the unavoidable weight gain and desire to eat a lot more can be difficult to manage if your relationship with food and your body is not in a good place.

I am SO grateful that I had done my healing work around food and my body before becoming pregnant as it would have been a very different experience. I was able to fully accept the changes, be grateful for them and be totally at peace with what I wanted to eat and my size. This was such a big milestone for me in my journey to realise just how far I had come. I know the emotional work I did helped with breastfeeding, the transition into being a mum and even keeping my relationship with my partner strong during this time.

After pregnancy I found the weight dropped off naturally without me doing anything, no gym, no offical exercise classes, no counting calories or anything and I know this is because of my mindset and also from being very in tune and aware of my emotions and how I was feeling.

Emotion is huge in your healing journey, it's impacting everything. But the great thing is, once you learn how it's really easy to manage.

You never had to diet again

Calorie counting was a thing of the past

You can eat whatever you want and stay slim

You feel confident and comfortable in a bikini

You LOVE what you see in the mirror

You feel sexy in your skinny jeans

And it's 100% possible. I know that can feel hard to believe when you've struggled for so long, but this approach works and long term too!
