NOTE FROM TED: Please do not look to this talk as a substitute for health advice. This talk only represents the speaker's personal views and understanding of emotional eating. We've flagged this talk because it falls outside the content guidelines TED gives TEDx organizers. TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/t...
Conventional wisdom suggests if you eat less and exercise more, you’ll lose weight. But that’s not so easy for those that struggle with emotional eating. Tricia Nelson describes how she lost 50 pounds by getting off the diet rollercoaster ride, looking beyond the symptoms of food and weight and healing her emotional relationship with food instead. She’s spent the past several decades helping people lose weight without dieting through her process that she outlines in her book, Heal Your Hunger, 7 Simple Steps to End Emotional Eating Now and her popular podcast, The Heal Your Hunger Show. Tricia Nelson lost fifty pounds by identifying and healing the underlying causes of her emotional eating and sugar addiction. Tricia has spent over thirty years researching the hidden causes of the addictive personality. Tricia is an Emotional Eating Expert, founder of HealYourHunger.com and author of the #1 bestselling book, Heal Your Hunger, 7 Simple Steps to End Emotional Eating Now. Tricia is the host of the popular podcast, The Heal Your Hunger Show and has been a highly regarded guest speaker on more than 100 popular podcasts. Tricia has been featured on NBC, CBS, KTLA, FOX, The List and Discovery Health. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

OA may be great for some, but Tricia dives in so much deeper than that and teaches the tools necessary for true and total healing. Also, just because someone is thin and not overeating doesn't mean they're healthy, healed, or free; that's a dangerous implication and thought process. What Tricia teaches is true healing from our deepest core. Tricia has shown me and many others what true peace and freedom within this condition is and she lives it every day so she understands. Because of Tricia, I do have freedom. She has saved not only my life, but also so many others. I'm so beyond grateful for her and her being brave enough to utilize her struggles to help others.

Intermittent fasting has been a godsend for me. It has allowed me to lose and keep weight off. It’s been life changing. Having said that, I still struggle (some days more than others) with food during my eating window. It’s not so much about weight loss anymore, but it is still about binging, craving, shame, etc. Not all binge/emotional eaters are overweight.

I have come to believe it’s an eating disorder for me. I maintain enough self-control not to get overweight, but I feel crazy about food. Obsessive, I can’t find the balance! I don’t know if you could say I binge-I graze and never feel satisfied, but usually do it on foods that are healthy. Still, I can’t feel grossly full and not feel satisfied. Junk food is more satisfying, but still not completely. When I withhold myself from stuff I shouldn’t eat, or decrease portions, I feel so sad, literally depressed. I get angry at myself when I overeat and see the results, but then there’s a self-destructive element that comes in, and I think I self-harm with food. The good news is I’m working through my emotions and already seeing the result in my appetite. Praise God!

I like this a lot. I know that EE is something I do, or have done. Tricia Nelson's work aligns with what I've learned and am practicing now. I finally threw out the diet mentality about 9 months ago, which is saying something since I've been on that roller coaster for more than 50 years. What's started working for me is a blend of several things: learning the principles of Intuitive Eating, which I discovered while researching motivation, which led me to Self-Determination Theory and then to I.E.; understanding the biological processes which get triggered by caloric reduction (the body's famine state response) and how that works to tank quick and sustained weight loss efforts and why I should chill about losing weight, but rather focus on healing; and now, addressing my emotional eating which has two parts: learning every day coping strategies as Tricia outlines, AND getting help to heal from trauma since many studies have shown folks with addiction issues are very often trauma survivors, as I am. It's so great to see all the work being done, and I wish that older members of my family had known of this way back when.

From experience I know change is challenging because the habits and patterns are hardwired. Each day I have to ask myself what will I say, do or think differently. I have that choice and some days are more challenging than others. I don't like to use the word "hard" because it creates a barrier and doesn't offer me movement.

I think Sarah's story is a great example of how seeking help and implementing new ways of processing emotions actually can lead to positive change. It's inspiring to hear how her life transformed once she started to do those things.

Great talk Tricia, glad you were able to identify those emotions in yourself and create a way of checking in on yourself that you can share with everyone.

My whole family suffers with ED and I know that the guilt that comes from this behaviour is what triggers many of us. Thank you for this Tricia.

"The worst of life couldn't take out the best of me." I saw this saying somewhere and loved it. Naturally I like to tweak things a bit... "the worst of life brought out the best of me".
