Women Ending Emotional Eating Group (Online Meetings)

Connect with like-minded women who are also on the path to ending emotional stress eating. No need to prepare, just come as you are, you are welcomed here! 🩷
Today we’re talking about self-sabotage—something almost every human experiences, especially around food.
I want to start by saying this clearly: self-sabotage is not a character flaw. It’s not a lack of willpower. And it’s not proof that you “don’t really want change.”
A helpful analogy is alcohol.
Imagine someone who swears they’ll never drink again. They’ve felt the regret, the shame, the physical discomfort, the “Why did I do that?” spiral. They make promises—this is the last time.
And then… life happens. Stress. Loneliness. Celebration. Exhaustion. One drink feels like relief.
The next morning brings regret, shame, and another vow to stop.
We don’t usually call that person weak. We understand there’s something deeper going on—a nervous system looking for relief, comfort, escape, or connection.
Emotional eating works the same way.
Food becomes the “one thing” that soothes, numbs, distracts, or rewards us in the moment. The regret comes later—not because we failed, but because the strategy was temporary.
Today isn’t about blaming ourselves or promising to “do better next time.”

Date and Location:

• Open to New and Returning members
• Date & Time: Sunday, February 8, 2026 @11 AM Pacific Time
• Where: Zoom (RSVP required)

Session Details:

• Duration 1 - 1 hour session together
• Self-sabotage isn’t you working against yourself.
  It’s you trying to survive with the tools you’ve had.
  Growth doesn’t come from stronger rules—it comes from understanding the need beneath the behavior.

What to Expect:

• Time for discussion and heart shares, as we navigate this often lonely path to full healing and self-acceptance.
• Safe space to get support and celebrate our victories together.

💕 Sessions are led by Kathy Salata - intuitive eating counselor, educator and lived experience with an eating disorder.

Emotional eating in the evening often isn’t about food at all—it’s about relief, transition, comfort, or permission to finally stop.
Questions to consider:

### Understanding Triggers

• When you think about emotional eating, what are your most common triggers?
• Are your triggers more emotional, situational, or physical?
• How early do you notice the trigger before the eating actually happens?

### Why Evenings Are Harder

• What changes for you emotionally once the day slows down?

• What does food provide in the evening that feels different from earlier in the day?

• Are evenings more about hunger, or about finally being alone with your thoughts?

• Is there a familiar thought that shows up before evening eating begins?

• What emotions tend to surface at night that don’t get attention during the day?

• How does exhaustion influence your eating choices?

### Compassion Over Control

• How do you usually talk to yourself after evening emotional eating?
• What would it be like to replace judgment with curiosity?
• If this behavior were trying to help you, what might it be helping you cope with?

### Coping & Alternatives (Without Pressure)

• What has helped even a little during difficult evenings?
• What feels supportive rather than restrictive?
• What would a gentler evening routine look like for you?
