Stop blaming your family for your holiday weight gain. You know exactly who pushes your buttons, but your triggers aren’t about them, they’re about how you respond. And if you’re a high-achieving career-driven woman who is already over the drama and you refuse to start January in a hangover full of food regret, you need to hear this.
In this episode, you’ll get the 5 ways your family drama and holiday triggers cause real weight gain… and 5 simple steps to shut it down so you can stay in control.
Together, we will investigate:
- Why your family isn’t causing your holiday weight gain, and the real psychology behind emotional triggers.
- The top 5 holiday triggers most women face.
- The connection between holiday stress, cortisol spikes, and increased cravings.
- The strange yet effective FBI-inspired strategy to counter these holiday emotional eating triggers.
- How to create a holiday game plan so you stay in control, instead of spiraling into the family drama (and eating everything in sight in the process).
- The 5-step trigger-proof framework to prevent emotional eating and stay grounded through the season.
- How to build a maintainable, healthy relationship with food so January isn’t a regret-fest.
