Food, Mood and Emotional Eating

Discover why emotions drive cravings and learn practical ways to break the cycle of emotional eating—without guilt, shame or diets. It's not always hunger that makes us reach for food. Sometimes, it's how we feel. Stressful day? Feeling overwhelmed? Need a little comfort? Food can offer a moment of relief, but when eating becomes our go-to response to difficult emotions, it can leave us feeling frustrated, guilty or stuck in a cycle we don't understand. Join us at Over the Yardarm in Sheffield, a welcoming local venue providing a relaxed setting to connect, learn and explore your relationship with food and mood. Join In this friendly, down-to-earth and practical session we will explore the fascinating connection between food, mood and emotions. Together, we'll explore: • Why we crave certain foods and what might be driving those urges. • The food–mood connection and how what we eat can influence our energy, mood and wellbeing. • Emotional hunger versus physical hunger and how to recognise the difference. • Breaking the guilt cycle and moving away from all-or-nothing thinking about food. • Practical strategies to manage cravings, respond to emotions and build a healthier relationship with eating. This isn't about willpower, banning your favourite foods or following another diet. It's about understanding yourself better, discovering what your body and mind need, and finding realistic ways to feel more in control around food. Come curious, leave with a better understanding of your cravings and practical tools you can start using straight away.
