Improving Relationship with Food

Your Quiz ResultsYour answers suggest that your current relationship with food may not align with patterns of binge or emotional eating. That’s great news, but it doesn’t mean you can’t benefit from learning more about your eating habits and how they impact your overall well-being. Everyone’s journey with food is unique, and sometimes even subtle shifts—like feeling more confident in your choices or enjoying food without guilt—can make a big difference. Here’s how you might continue exploring your relationship with food: 1. Reflect on Your Goals: What do you want your relationship with food to look like? Whether it’s reducing stress around eating, improving your energy levels, or just feeling good about your choices, there’s always room for growth. 2. Reflect on Patterns: keep an eye on emotional eating habits and ensure they don’t become a primary way of coping. Consider using journaling or other reflective practices to stay mindful of your relationship with food. While occasional emotional eating is normal, having other ways to handle stress can create balance. Try adding in non-food activities you enjoy, like spending time with loved ones, doing something creative, or exercising.3. Join the Non-Diet Shift: if you’re interested in taking a deeper dive, the non-diet shift program can help you strengthen your connection to intuitive eating, build mindfulness practices, and explore gentle ways to care for yourself beyond food.If you’d like to explore how to enhance your relationship with food, I’d love to help you take the next step—big or small.

Emotional Eating

Your Quiz ResultsYour answers indicate that emotional eating might be something you’re experiencing. Emotional eating is common and often arises as a way to cope with stress, boredom, or overwhelming feelings. While it’s not necessarily a problem, it can sometimes leave us feeling frustrated, stuck, or out of balance. Here’s what you can do to start addressing emotional eating: 1. Identify Triggers: Pay attention to the moments when you feel drawn to food for comfort. Are there specific emotions, times of day, or situations that tend to spark this? Awareness is a powerful first step. 2. Develop a “Comfort Kit”: create a “comfort kit” filled with go-to activities that help soothe you, like listening to music, going for a walk, or practicing breathing exercises. These can serve as alternative ways to manage emotions without relying on food.3. Be Kind to Yourself: Emotional eating doesn’t make you “bad” or “weak.” It’s often a learned response to life’s challenges. The goal isn’t perfection—it’s finding balance. 4. Join the Non-Diet Shift: this is a group program for emotional eating and offers structured lessons on handling stress without turning to food, building self-compassion, and learning the foundations of intuitive eating to create a sustainable, healthier relationship with food.If you’re curious about creating a healthier relationship with food and emotions, I’d love to support you.

Your Quiz ResultsYour answers suggest that you might be experiencing behaviors or emotions commonly associated with binge eating. While this quiz isn’t a diagnostic tool, it’s an opportunity to reflect on your relationship with food and take a closer look at what’s going on. Binge eating can feel overwhelming, but you’re not alone, and there’s support available to help you navigate this. Here are a few steps you might consider: 1. Reach Out for Support: a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) who specializes in eating behavior and eating disorders (like me!) or a mental health professional specializing in eating behaviors can help you explore this further and develop a personalized recovery plan. 2. Learn More: Understanding binge eating can empower you to take the first step toward healing. Start journaling your binge eating episodes, noting what you might be feeling like beforehand, any triggers, and how you feel afterward. Journaling can help you become more aware of patterns and emotional triggers.3.

Be gentle with yourself as you explore this. 4.
