This episode was inspired by someone I spoke to at my virtual event, where I went through a visualization exercise to imagine that it was the holidays and the obstacles or food challenges they might face. She shared with me that she would never eat foods she deemed bad or forbidden in front of other people - at a party, out to eat or at a family gathering. She would only eat them in secret. 

Virtuous eating is the feeling that a person is being immoral, bad, or wrong when they eat certain foods. Do you feel this way?

Here’s some takeaways from this episode:

• Even though we are eating in secret and hiding from others judging us, what we are really doing is judging ourselves.
• Judgment and shame are the very two things that keep us in the cycle of feeling out of control around food.
• It's important to know in what ways our behaviors serve us and in what ways they hinder us. If we can look at it with curiosity, then we can decide if we want to change something.

In this episode, I will share stories with you about my most recent triathlon and how it relates to my journey with food and recovery from binge eating disorder. I will talk about the importance of knowing your patterns and tracking your progress along the way.

Here are some takeaways from this episode:

• I track my progress by writing a report about my race. I reflect on what went well, what I would do differently, ideas and suggestions for the next race, and reminders for if I do the race again in the future - course specifics, places we ate, etc.
• Listening to your body and knowing when to push through and when to stop is important. 
• A concept I love to teach is resilience - becoming stronger through our struggles and challenges.

In future episodes, I will share my journey to becoming an athlete - stay tuned for those in a few weeks!

Today, I want to talk about a sentence I hear a lot: I want to eat whatever I want, whenever I want. I think it means different things to different people. No matter how you interpret this sentence, I trust that this episode will be eye-opening and provide you with some perspectives and some questions you may not have considered before. 

Remember, we want to increase our awareness. You can't change what you aren't aware of and judgment will always keep you stuck in the cycle. So stay open, stay curious, and let's dive in!Here are some takeaways from this episode:

If you can just get curious about what the following key questions mean to you, you will open up a lot for yourself:

What do I really want when I think of fixing my relationship with food? If I could somehow erase all of the outside influences that have told me how to behave and what to do, what would I choose for myself?

In what ways are my food wants overlooking other wants I have in life?

In what ways might what I want for myself as it relates to food be rooted in fantasy and not reality?

You get to decide what a good relationship with food looks like for you. Yes, it can get complicated by society, the messages we have received, our own nervous systems, our emotional capacity, and more, but you really do have a choice.

This episode was inspired by a recent conversation with someone who attended the virtual event. She said, “I know you talk about the importance of removing restriction, but what is the difference between restriction and healthy discipline?” I wouldn’t normally use the term “healthy discipline”, but since she asked it this way, I figured many other people have this question and I wanted to address it here on the podcast.

Here are some takeaways from this episode:

• We can look at healthy discipline in two ways: one that comes from rigidity and control or the second way as a type of discipline that comes from a place of nurturing and support.
• Think about WHY you make the choices that you do around food.
• When I say remove restrictions, that does not mean remove the idea of making empowered choices that are nurturing and supportive to you - both physically and mentally.
