 Take the Free Quiz and Discover How to Stop Emotional Eating and Overeating

Spoiler Alert: You don't need another diet or more willpower.

Do you ever wish you could just stop overeating?

Emotional eating is a major cause of overeating, but labeling yourself an emotional eater might not be all that helpful. Overeating happens for a multitude of reasons.

Focusing on what to eat isn't the first step. There are specific reasons that smart, high-achieving women overeat.

  • When you’re busy and juggling multiple responsibilities, eating can be an easy, mindless response to your needs, stress, emotions, and exhaustion.
  • Food can be comfort and might be your sweet reward at the end of a long, demanding day when you haven’t had even ten minutes for yourself.
  • You might reach for something to eat when you need a quick energy fix.
  • Or maybe you overeat in response to unexpected events or challenges - when you just don't feel like you have the bandwidth to do anything else...

The reasons we turn to food are powerful – and go far beyond physical hunger.  And yet, most approaches to overeating and weight struggles barely address these sources of hunger and overeating – and they certainly don’t provide strategies or solutions for permanently ending your struggle with food.

You don't need another diet or more willpower to stop emotional eating or overeating.

The free Hidden Hungers Quiz was designed to help you target the reason you're overeating so you can create changes that last. Take a few minutes to find out what you're really craving (that isn't food) and get your Hidden Hunger profile and customized action guide.
