Ep 563- Are You a Worrywart? Here’s How to Stop Worrying, and Start Living

In this episode of Confessions of a Binge Eater, I’m talking about one of the biggest triggers for emotional eaters: worry. If you’ve ever spun out with “what if” thoughts until you’re stressed, scared, and reaching for food… this one’s for you. I share the real-life stories, tools, and spiritual practices that helped me step out of fear, get present, and stop letting scary thoughts run the show. You don’t have to awfulize every possible future scenario—there’s another way, and I’ll show it to you.

  • Why emotional eaters often slip into worry, fear, and overthinking
  • How “awfulizing” future scenarios fuels stress and emotional eating
  • The power of staying present instead of imagining worst-case outcomes
  • A travel story that shows the difference between panic vs. peaceful action
  • How scary thoughts create real physical tension in the body
  • Practical tools to calm the mind: meditation, prayer, journaling, walking
