🍩 Feeling snacky when you’re not hungry? Here’s why.

Let’s be real for a second ...

The holidays are a minefield of cheese boards, sugar cookies, and“Oy, why did I eat that?”moments.

You know how it goes. You’re doing fine, feeling good, keeping your balance …

Then one stressful conversation, one long day, one tiny emotional wobble.

And suddenly you’re in the kitchen realizing the leftover apple pie has mysteriously disappeared ... and somehow you’re holding the pie tin.😬

Feel familiar? You’re far from alone.

Emotional eating is basically the unofficial holiday sport.

Fortunately, hypnosis gives you a surprisingly simple andkindway to flip that pattern.

Why we eat when we’re not hungry

Most people think emotional eating is about food.

But it’s not.

It’s about soothing yourself.

It’s about giving your nervous system a break when life feels loud.

And the subconscious mind is incredibly loyal.

If caramel popcorn ever made you feel better once, your subconscious remembers.

And it tries to help you by nudging you right back toward it.

Bless its heart. 😉

Where hypnosis works its magic

Hypnosis lets you gently update that old programming. So comfort doesn’t automatically equal “grab a snack.”

Inside the subconscious, we shift things like:

• How your body interprets stress

• What you reach for in the moment

• How quickly you return to calm

• And the biggest one: Your ability to pause before the autopilot kicks in

It’s all aboutrepatterning.

When the subconscious feels safe and supported, it stops chasing food for comfort.

Here’s a tiny self-hypnosis technique you can start using today

It’s quick and sneaky. And no one needs to know you’re doing it:

The 10-Second Pause

1. When you feel the urge to snack (and you know it’s not hunger), stop where you are.

2. Place one hand on your chest and breathe in for a slow count of 4.

3. Say quietly in your mind:“I’m safe. I can choose.”

4. Exhale for 6.

5. Notice what your body actually needs.

Once you identify the real need, you have options.

Andthatis the magic moment. Because when you see the need, you can meet it in a way that actually works.

That might look like:

• stepping outside for fresh air

• wrapping up in a blanket

• texting a friend

• taking a 2-minute breathing break

• saying “I’ll be right back” and getting some space

• letting yourself feel what you’re feeling

• choosing kindness toward yourself instead of judgment

When you do this regularly?

You break the trance of emotional eating.

And you slip into anewkind of trance.

One where you feel steady, grounded and in control.

If you want deeper support

I help my clients rewire these patterns at the subconscious level so food stops being a coping mechanism and starts being, well, food.

If you’d like help with that, reach out. Because the holidays don’t have to be a battle.

You can feel calm, in charge, and actually enjoy everything ...

Without the guilt hangover afterward. 🙌
