Do you feel totally in control with food all day… only to lose it at night?

The house gets quiet. Your guard drops. The cravings hit.
And suddenly you’re back in the pantry—again—wondering why this keeps happening.

In this episode, Kristin Jones breaks down why nighttime is the hardest window for emotional eaters—and why it has nothing to do with willpower, discipline, or “being good enough.”

You’ll learn what’s actually going on in your brain after dinner, including:

• Why decision fatigue and emotional backlog explode at night
• How daytime restriction fuels nighttime urges
• Why rules like “don’t eat after 7” backfire (and make cravings louder)

Then Kristin walks you through a simple, brain-based 5-step system that helps calm nighttime cravings fast—without shame, dieting, or white-knuckling:

• How to build a truly satisfying dinner that prevents rebound snacking
• Why planning a snack can reduce overeating
• A 2-minute emotional pause that stops the urge before it takes over
• The “permission protocol” that rebuilds trust with food
• A tracking method that reinforces progress instead of guilt

You’ll hear real-life examples, exact phrases to use in the moment, and reassurance you may have needed for years:
Nothing is wrong with you. Your brain learned this pattern—and patterns can be changed.

✨ Bonus: Kristin is sharing a FREE 3-Day Nighttime Snacking Reset, complete with a printable tracker, so you can put this into practice immediately and start having calmer nights—starting tonight.

If evenings are your toughest time with food, this episode (and the reset) will help you:

• Reduce nighttime cravings
• Stop the binge-and-reset cycle
• Wake up without shame or “starting over” energy

Ever notice how vacations can flip a switch in your brain—from grounded and intentional to impulsive and “whatever goes” almost instantly?

In this episode, Kristin explores why travel is such a common trigger for emotional eating—and how you can enjoy food, freedom, and unforgettable experiences without falling into all-or-nothing thinking. Using a real-life cruise story filled with buffets, FOMO, and soft-serve ice cream, she breaks down what’s actually happening in your brain when routine disappears—and how to stay connected to who you are, even when everything feels different.

You’ll learn ten practical, realistic strategies you can actually use on real trips with real temptations. She talks about setting vacation intentions that feel empowering (not restrictive), using first-bite awareness to get more enjoyment from less, and keeping simple anchor habits—like movement, hydration, and a quick morning check-in—to remind your brain, I’m still me.

Kristin also dives into emotional awareness on the road, showing how simply naming what you feel can reduce urgency and interrupt the automatic “feel → eat” cycle so many women experience when stress rises or plans change. You’ll hear about a 10-second reset you can use anywhere, gentle “plus-one” movement ideas to calm your nervous system, and a satisfy-don’t-stuff approach that makes leaving food on your plate (or sharing bites) feel neutral—not shameful.

This episode isn’t about perfection. It’s about coming home feeling proud, energized, and aligned with your goals—without needing a “reset” when you return.

If you’re traveling soon (or still trying to recover from your last trip), this one’s for you.

In this week’s episode of the Breakthrough Emotional Eating Podcast, Kristin's unpacking two of the most powerful (yet underrated) tools for lasting change — gratitude and journaling.

She explore how your thoughts set off emotions that drive your actions — and how you can interrupt that loop before it leads to emotional eating. You’ll learn how simple daily routines can calm your nervous system, reduce food urges, and help you build the consistency and confidence that diets never deliver.

Inside this episode, you’ll discover:
✨ The TEA-Cycle that links your thoughts, emotions, and actions — and how to interrupt it
✨ Why gratitude raises dopamine and serotonin, helping you feel more content and in control
✨ How to retrain your Reticular Activating System (RAS) to notice the good instead of the negative
✨ How journaling empties your mind, reducing urges and anxiety around food
✨ The power of tracking your wins to build self-trust and momentum
✨ Three simple daily practices you can start today to reset your relationship with food

This episode blends all three parts of my 3 R’s to Food Freedom™ framework — Routine, Rewiring, and Radical Accountability — to help you create real emotional freedom with food.
