Embody Food Freedom

Are you someone who beats yourself up about what you eat? After the fun weekend with friends, food guilt. After your partner brings Oreos home and you can’t leave them alone, food guilt. After the family celebrations with inevitable sweet treats, food guilt. That guilt creeps in and leaves you feeling so crummy and like you need to do something to "make up" for it. You’re totally unsure of how to eat without feeling guilty. Well, it doesn’t have to be like this! It can be different.

In this episode we’ll go over 3 steps to start letting go of food guilt while you heal your relationship with food. These steps are important things to keep in mind for anyone on a food freedom or intuitive eating journey. I also share an experiment that I want you to try out to practically let go of food guilt in your day-to-day life! Let’s learn how to deal with food guilt together, shall we?

Fitness culture and diet culture really go hand-in-hand, both disconnect us from our bodies and our inner wisdom. Remember the Tumblr days? Yup. *big eye roll* there! Even if you weren’t hanging out on Tumblr, you’ve probably heard the phrases surrounding exercise like: “No pain, no gain.” “The only bad workout is the one that didn’t happen.” “No excuses.” or “You have to earn your body.” These phrases aren’t really motivational, they’re filled with shame.

She quit her corporate job (as a social media manager at a marketing agency) because she knew that she wanted to create a space free from diet culture, where folks could explore joyful movement without the pressure to change their bodies.

When you’re stressed and go to reach for that bag of chips to mindlessly eat, it quite honestly stresses you out more. Or when you are feeling sad and you grab a tub of ice cream and you are left guilty about what just happened. Or maybe you are lonely and grab a cookie and keep going back for another one, and another one, and another one… until the entire box of cookies is gone. Left feeling guilty, shameful, all the things.

So, that's why I'm here to share my top 5 tips for dealing with emotional eating so that you can stop beating yourself up about it once and for all!

Yoga is a wonderful tool to add to your toolbox to be able to connect further with yourself, your body, and deepen your intuitive eating journey. Even if you don't feel like yoga is "for you" I encourage you to listen to this episode. Yoga is many things (not just fancy shapes you put your body into), and it's truly for every BODY. Yoga is a pathway to arriving in the present moment and helps to develop body attunement which translates over to intuitive eating. 

This episode's guest, Rachel Helfferich, is a registered dietitian and yoga instructor based in Indianapolis, Indiana. Through her virtual private practice, Everglow Nutrition, she helps women make peace with food and their body through Intuitive Eating and Mindfulness coaching. Her mission is to help women break free from dieting so that they can step into their lives feeling empowered, energized, and free!
