Out of Your Comfort Zone

“I haven’t met any one who particularly craves carrot or celery” I said at one of our follow up visits

She was upset at the health coach I had referred her to

They had discussed emotional eating and she was adamant that was not a correct description of her status

I paused

It was clearly a touchy subject

“We are all emotional eaters” I told her

Like you guessed… I didn’t stop there

“We eat when we are happy

Also sometimes when we are sad

It’s not unique to you so don’t take it personally”

We discussed cravings

How they are specific

Usually something spicy, buttery, greasy , high corn fructose-y, meaty …

We laughed

She got my drift

We talked strategies to deal with those cravings

I encouraged her to listen to a Facebook live I had done with Dr Catherine H Toomern how to eat through the holidays!

We discussed reattemping connecting with a health coach now that we had a better understanding of intended message!

Conversations are important in the journey of living long and well!

Pleasant and sometimes uncomfortable ones.

Conversations continue…


In health,
Dr. O
