As you think about the upcoming holidays, if you have people in your life who say and do things that you find upsetting or aggravating or frustrating, instead of going down the rabbit hole of negativity, try reframing. Because reframing helps you approach challenges with more optimism, more choices, and more possibilities. And because your words and your thoughts and the questions you ask yourself have power in how you experience how you perceive your reality, the ability to create a positive reframe is a game-changer, and it's a skill I'm going to teach you in this episode.

Do you think of yourself as an emotional eater? If so, the first thing I want to do is stop doing that.  Stop thinking of yourself as an emotional eater and understand that emotional eating is merely a habit, a behavior that is triggered by a cue and results in a reward.  And any behavior can be changed. Secondly, emotional eating isn't inherently bad for you. Lastly, emotional eating isn't the problem. It's merely a sign. It the holidays are stressing you out and you've been turning to food to cope, this is an episode you don't want to miss.

One of my favorite quotes about the food police is, "Unless you killed the chef, there is no morality or guilt in what you eat," by Evelyn Tribole. The food police are those voices, either the real ones from people in your life or the ones in your head, that are basically telling you what foods you should or shouldn't eat, or how much you should eat. As a result, you often wind up feeling bad about yourself because you ate a piece of pie or you had a second serving of mashed potatoes, or perhaps you found yourself treating Thanksgiving as a cheat day. If this is your relationship with food and you're ready to make peace with it so that you can become a joyful eater, this is an episode you're going to want to listen to from start to finish.
