The Feeler Blind Spot:

Sensory - Emotional Overload

While your ability to empathize and connect deeply with others is such a beautiful gift, it can also be your Achilles' heel when it comes to your weight loss journey. This deep emotional awareness (and even environmental awareness, coming from all of your senses) can sometimes lead to feeling overwhelmed or overstimulated. Especially during challenging moments or at the end of a busy day or week when you feel overworked, over touched, and pretty much over the whole damn thing (I have a 4 year old daughter that loves to hang all over me – and I ADORE her – but, trust me, I get it 😓). You may find yourself caught in cycles of emotional eating as a coping mechanism, using food to soothe and comfort yourself amidst the intensity of your emotions or feelings of overstimulation

As a Feeler with a Big Heart, your heightened sensitivity to emotions and sensory stimuli can sometimes feel overwhelming.You don’t just feel all the highs, you also feel all the lows. You don’t just take in all the beauty, you also take in all the noise and chaos. It’s a lot like having a radio station that picks up every channel at the same time. This can make it challenging to navigate and regulate your emotions, leading to reliance on food as a means of coping. When the intensity of your feelings or the sensory inputs of the world around you starts to feel like ‘too much’ … seeking solace and comfort in food can feel like an easy way to get a self-soothing fix.

Learning to navigate your emotional responses and have better coping strategies will be key to overcoming this as an obstacle to finally achieving, and enjoying, lasting weight loss results.

Eating Patterns That Hold You Back:

Feeling emotionally overwhelmed or drained by intense emotions that can feel like “too much”... (enter, chocolate and popcorn! 🍿)

Becoming overstimulated by sensory inputs such as noise, light, or crowds and not knowing/having ways to self-calm, snacking/sweets have become your ‘go to’ for taking the edge off.

Using food as a way to calm your nerves or soothe emotions that feel uncomfortable, undesirable or intense.

Engaging in emotional eating patterns to cope with feelings of worry, sadness, frustration or overstimulation.

Empowerment Strategies to Break Free:

To overcome the Sensory - Emotional Overload Effect, it's essential to equip yourself with emotional processing techniques and emotional self care strategies that are both: actually effective and aligned with your goals. Because even though food may have been a useful coping mechanism at some points of your life – the truth is that at this point in your life it's becoming more and more clear that continuing with this same approach will create ongoing stuckness in this area of your life. Keeping you from achieving the weight loss that you desire.

It's also essential to recognize how societal expectations and gender roles may have influenced your relationship with food, emotions and self-care. As a woman, you may have been socialized to prioritize the needs of others over your own, leading to strong emotions and neglecting your own emotional needs, but sis let me tell you…you are not everyone's therapist (despite what others may believe). While your big, beautiful heart may read like a “dump emotions here” neon sign to others, it’s on you to find the strength to draw some boundaries and make sure their baggage doesn’t become your baggage.
