About this Event
Food, Mood and Emotional Eating

Understand your cravings. Make sense of emotional eating. Find a different way forward.

It's not always hunger that makes us reach for food. Sometimes, it's how we feel.

Have you ever found yourself reaching for chocolate, crisps or something sweet after a stressful day, when you're bored, overwhelmed or simply need a little comfort?

You know you're not physically hungry, but you eat anyway.

And afterwards, perhaps you feel frustrated, guilty or wonder why you did it again.

You're not alone. And it's not simply a question of willpower.

Join Veronika from Vitonika for a relaxed, friendly and practical evening exploring the connection between food, mood and emotional eating.

What will we explore?

During this session, we'll look at:

• Why we crave certain foods: What's happening in your body and mind when cravings strike?
• Emotional hunger versus physical hunger: How to recognise the difference.
• The food–mood connection: How what and when we eat can influence energy and mood.
• Breaking the guilt cycle: Why all-or-nothing thinking can keep us stuck.
• Practical ways forward: Simple strategies to help you respond differently to cravings and emotional triggers.

What will you take away?

You'll leave with:

• A better understanding of your own eating patterns.
• Practical ideas you can start using straight away.
• A simple Emotional Eating Reflection Sheet to help you recognise your personal triggers.
