57. Dating Vs. Dieting: How Your Dieting Patterns Are Impacting Your Dating Life


Listen Later

Have you ever taken a moment to think of the similarities between dating and dieting? Maybe you should look at your own dating or dieting patterns because there’s a possibility that your dating history is as bad as your dieting history and vice versa. We often continue making excuses with bad diets and relationships, not necessarily for ourselves, but for the outside world. But for you to heal your bad nutritional habits, you need to stop looking at others, and instead pay attention to your body from the inside out. Find your food freedom and be liberated! 

In this episode of Girls Gone Healthy, I speak with Toni, a registered dietitian, the owner of Diet Tips with Toni, and recently gave a TED talk called Once Upon A Diet. She helps heal people’s relationships with food, gain self-confidence, and find balance in their eating habits. 

Toni struggled for many years with bad eating habits and body image until she found value in good nutrition and gained confidence. Listen in to learn the close similarities between dating and dieting and how healing one can lead to healing the other.  

Key Takeaways: 

  • The difference that simple healthy eating and exercising can make for your confidence.  
  • Learning how to balance taking care of yourself and being happy with where your body gets when you start living healthily.  
  • Stop trying to please society by striving to look a certain way.  
  • The similarities between relationships and dieting and why both should be about elevating your happiness.  
  • How to change or stop pushing for different results by repeating the same thing over and over again.
