  • Listen to this if your loved one is struggling with food

    My goal in the next few minutes is help you see what they're experiencing with food and how they would like to be supported during this time.

    As you know, they have been struggling with food and their bodies for a while, maybe months, maybe years, even decades.

    They're not trying to be perfect with food or lose weight anymore. No. They want to find peace of mind with food, they are seeking food freedom. They just want to be a normal eater again and they need your support.

    • Tell your friends/family what you want to be acknowledged for, otherwise no comments please

  • Listen to this in the middle of a binge

    Fall/winter blues have really been taking a toll, can you relate?

    Tips for when you're in the middle of a binge

    • Frequent reminders of "it's ok" to prevent a guilt spiral
    • When you feel that it's ok, it's less all-consuming, which makes MOVING ON easier

    The next day, ask yourself

    • How did that serve you?
      • For me it felt comforting BUT I felt heavy/bloated after
    • How do you feel today?
      • Overall it didn't serve me but it wasn't detrimental. I woke up today, felt fine, felt hungry at my normal times, and ate normally.

  • Isn't Intuitive Eating just where I eat EVERYTHING?

    These are the nuances that get missed:

    1. Developing interoceptive awareness: Interoceptive signals include your signal to go pee or the murmurs of your heartbeat. Hunger and fullness are also interoceptive signals. Are you listening to these signals closely?
    2. Developing more trust around food and getting rid of diet culture. Once you are able to distance yourself from the noise, it allows you space to listen to your own internal signals. That is your true north!
    3. Cultivating more body acceptance. We think that our bodies are 99% controllable however based on long term weight loss studies and the set point theory, weight is not as much in your control as you think.
    4. Coping with emotions without food. There's so much work to be done to detangle emotions (anxiety, stress, sadness) from food. How can you meet your needs without food?
