How To Stop Cravings At Night Without Going Crazy Or Losing Sleep Or Starving Yourself

How do you stop compulsively eating snacks in the late evening when you're not even hungry? I just talked to the woman who is in a pattern of snacking at night, and she says this is her biggest struggle. She comes home after work, after a long day at work, and she's now able to stop snacking immediately after getting home. She's now able to help her kid out with homework and put dinner on the table, and even a good meal. However, she then still finds herself snacking after dinner even though she's not hungry. so I just had a great conversation with her and really feel inspired and I want to share with you her next steps as well as what's really working for her. The big picture is that several mind body tools are coming together in a holistic way. 1. Feel Uncomfortable Emotions - She's really understanding that she has to feel her uncomfortable emotions and there's no way around that. 2. Sort Through Your Emotions - She's realizing that if she feels her uncomfortable emotions and processes them via journaling or what she'll do is basically talk to herself but she's really realizing that she has to process her emotions. 3. Food As Nourishment - She's had a fundamental eating enlightenment that food is self care which has been one of the biggest transformations because eating nutrient dense food is becoming a high priority because she sees that eating regularly is key, and she has successfully incorporated next day meal planning into her daily life and it feels good. 4. Listening For Hunger, Fullness and Food Satisfaction - She's in tune with hunger more now and is stopping to feed herself like the other day when she was running errands, she realized that 5 hours had gone by and she was ravenous and so she actually stopped at a Starbucks and got a protein box because it was going to be a few hours before she got home and this sustained her and prevented a binge. So this is where she is at, and she's made a lot of lot of progress decreasing her binge eating but in this video I also want to explore what her next steps are to stop emotional eating or the snacking at night.
