COURSE

Freedom From Self-Sabotage And Emotional Eating

With Liz Doyle

Uncover and overcome your sabotage around emotional eating and possibly drinking to create a life of freedom. Are you an emotional eater? Do you restrict what you eat and then binge eat? Do you suspect you're sabotaging yourself but don’t even know how or why you’re doing it?! Do you doubt yourself? Do you want to understand why you hold yourself back from achieving the healthy weight you want? Where you are now is probably down to your own unconscious acts of self-sabotage. And if you have ever had feelings of self-sabotage, and want to stop them from controlling you, then you are going to love this course. We’re going to go DEEP in 6 days. So, how do we stop sabotaging ourselves? How do we go from self-sabotage to freedom? Instead of judging this part of yourself, I will guide you to get curious. Getting curious suspends judgment and creates space for a new possibility. Trust me on this! Get curious and be open to change and join me on this course. Overcoming self-doubt and self-sabotage is possible for you when you come from a loving place in your heart for yourself. So love yourself and remind yourself that doubt may come but you are developing the emotional skills to move on from self-sabotage and emotional eating. I will show you how. This course will teach you how to overcome those self-sabotaging patterns, so you can finally embrace a life free from emotional eating. A life free from shame and embarrassment so you can experience a full and joyful life. If you’re tired of drifting, this is the course for you.

Liz Doyle is passionate about helping women to discover their innate beauty and worthiness. One of the ways she does this is by helping women with letting go of all they need to so they can let go of the weight. That's why she is so excited to share this course with the Insight Timer community. Moving through and overcoming how self-sabotage and emotional eating can control their lives is something Liz feels blessed to show others. Liz's Love Yourself coaching helps women who are still struggling to move on from a relationship breakdown or other trauma in the past. They grow in themselves to have more fulfilling relationships with everyone and everything in their lives including their beliefs about their health and appearance as well as their success and prosperity. Using the philosophies of Louise Hay, the pioneer of personal development, Liz uses meditations and awareness exercises to peel back the layers of past conditioning so women can live a life of true self-acceptance and self-worth AND the freedom to be who they truly are. Liz is so looking forward to connecting with you on the course and being your gentle accountability buddy.

Lesson 1

What Is Emotional Eating?

Over the next 6 days, we will be looking at neuroscience and positive psychology to help you uncover the real reasons for your emotional eating. Emotional eating is when someone uses food as a way to deal with their feelings. Emotional eating is using food to comfort yourself, numb a painful emotion, or take your mind off feelings that are just too hard to face up to. In an ideal world, we eat because we are hungry but reality can be very different. We all eat emotionally at times. I know I still do but the difference in doing it occasionally and when it becomes something that takes over your life is why I’m sharing this course. Today we will be finding out more about emotional eating and why we do it.

Lesson 2

It All Starts With Awareness

We can all have sabotaging beliefs and behaviors around food and possibly drink too. Often these are completely unconscious but very predictable, and they can follow you. We often sabotage ourselves for self-protection and self-preservation which doesn't make sense logically but this is all about seeking the answers from within. If you don’t learn to understand and recognize your sabotages, you’ll find it hard to get past resistance and procrastination. The key is to find your sabotages, so you can identify them when they happen and not let them take you off your path. This can be a very difficult area to look at and it can bring up a lot of emotions, so I want you to be very gentle with yourself as you process the information we’re looking at today.

Lesson 3

How Do We Self-Sabotage?

Today, we’re going to look at what to do with the information we have discovered in yesterday's lesson. What are your recurring sabotages? Because these are the ones you need to watch out for. We’re now going to dig a little deeper. You will need your journal again for the questions today.

Lesson 4

Our Old Stories

Today we’re going to take a look at those old stories behind emotional eating. What were you told growing up or by others as a child, a teenager, or maybe as a young adult? What is the original or old story? Now this can take a bit of time, and patience is really important as well as being super gentle with yourself as we go through today's lesson. You may want to replay it a few times.

Lesson 5

Changing The Pattern

Do you have an inner saboteur? The inner saboteur is the voice in your head that generates negative emotions in the way you handle life's everyday challenges. Of course, we’re talking about how it affects our attempts to get to the weight we want and how we want to look and feel on this course. But it affects every area of our lives. The inner saboteur represents automated patterns in your mind for how to think, feel, and respond. It causes you stress, anxiety, self-doubt, frustration, restlessness, and unhappiness. Today we will get to discover your inner saboteur - the more aware we are of what's going on under the surface, the more we can start to challenge those beliefs with lots of self-compassion.

Lesson 6

You’ve Got This!

If you have been on this journey of working towards a body that is healthy and maybe slimmer for quite a while, it might be that you’re finding it hard to believe that you can do it this time. There is a lot of self-doubt. I know how that feels... Today, I will take you through a meditation inspired by Louise Hay’s teachings to support you with letting go of that self-doubt. I truly hope that this course has helped you on your journey to literally change your thinking to change your body. I am here to support you not just during the course but way beyond.

Liz creates a safe, compassionate space where you feel seen, understood, and empowered to change. Her approach is compassionate, insightful, and truly empowering. She guides you gently but powerfully through the emotional layers that fuel self-sabotage and unhealthy eating patterns. What makes this course stand out is Liz’s ability to help you get curious about your behaviors instead of judging them. Through meditations, awareness exercises, and heartfelt guidance, Liz helps you uncover the beliefs and emotional wounds that have kept you stuck—and then shows you how to release them. Liz’s teachings help you reconnect with your self-worth and build emotional resilience. Liz is not just a teacher—she’s a gentle accountability buddy and a true healer. Upon completion of the course, I feel lighter, more in control, and deeply supported. I highly recommend the course to anyone seeking a healthier relationship with food and self.

Liz has changed my life. This course, along with her others (check her profile 👀) has taken me from a place of self doubt & self hatred to a positive, calming place in my mind. I very rarely have negative thoughts about myself. When they occur, I bat them away with a positive one. I’ve never been able to do this before, and I firmly believe that it’s Liz’s unwavering loving support that has made the difference. I feel lighter, freer, more energetic, more loving, more powerful. The list goes on! Liz, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so so much. You are such a kind and wonderful soul. I so very much appreciate you and your incredible work ♥️♥️♥️

This is the best course I’ve taken on Insight Timer so far. Liz is an amazing, encouraging teacher, really digging in deep to the causes of emotional eating and how to overcome them. She’s also present! She’s there all asking the way, wanting to support and interact to make sure you are successful. I’m going to be staying in touch with this teacher and if you’re looking for a course on this topic, this is the best one!

This course really made me go deep and confront and bring to the surface rooted thought patterns and beliefs. I had to move through it slowly and it took me several months to work through the entire course. Disordered eating is not an easy topic and I felt Liz succeeded in creating a good balance where I felt safe and supported. I really loved the final say meditation and will revisit it.
