034: Face Your Stuff, Don't Stuff Your Face - Interview with Renee Jones
Have you had enough of trying to lose weight with diets that don’t work over the long term? If you want to lose your weight and keep it off for good, the key is overcoming emotional eating and stress eating.
In this episode of the podcast, we interview Renee Jones, an emotional eating coach with Pack Your Own Bag. Renee spent 40 years on the diet rollercoaster, but was eventually able to lose her weight, and maintain her weight loss over the past decade by facing her stuff….instead of stuffing her face. She has written about her journey, and her approach to coaching women through weight loss, in her book What’s Really Eating You: Overcome the Triggers of Comfort Eating.
In this lively conversation with Renee, you’ll learn:
- How we learned to soothe ourselves with food
- Practical tips for overcoming emotional eating
- Why your mindset and practicing self-kindness is critical
- A useful tool for evaluating whether you are physically or emotionally hungry
