Escape Diet Prison by Anne-Sophie Reinhardt

In this episode of the Escape Diet Prison Podcast, Deb & I talk about living your own life instead of trying to please others by losing weight adn dieting.

In this episode of the Escape Diet Prison Podcast, I am joined by Isabel Foxen Duke who helps people stop feeling crazy around food.

Why do you want to be thin? Have you ever truly asked yourself? Or is it just a default thing you want - you’ve always wanted?

Deb and I share effective strategies that you can implement in order to make the holiday season less overwhelming.

In this episode, Patricia Moreno and I talk about tearing down the body-shaming self-objectifying thin-ideal norms, and what self-love actually feels like.

With all the talk about weight and health, the mental health aspect of this construct is hardly ever considered.

All the thinness in the world doesn't matter when your brain is unhealthy and when you are unhappy AF.

Despite the ignorance that our culture, as well as our medical and scientific establishment portrays, dieting leads to a decline in our mental health, which will ultimately impact our physical health in a myriad of ways.

The obsession, the shame, the constant guilt, the never ending scrutiny and the soul-crushing pressure to "be good" weigh on you and affect every part of your life in negative ways.

However, as we're promised to enter heaven by losing weight and keeping it off, we put up with the ever-increasing burden that dieting entails. After all, NOTHING is as bad as living in a big(er) body, right?

Well, noooooooooo. Not. At. All.

It's time to focus on actual aspects of health and wellbeing and to create a life that is build on real susbtance instead of an outer shell that's falling apart.

In this episode of the Escape Diet Prison Podcast, we share 10 proven tools to support you in strengthening your mental health.

Allow your emotions to flow freely.

Don't set yourself up for failure by having impossible standards of inner and outer perfection.

Stop comparing your body and your life those of other people.

Allow yourself to experience the common humanity and cut yourself some slack.

Keep a gratitude journal, start tapping or begin a meditation practice.

Prioritize sleep again!

Go outside and allow nature to wrap you in a blanket of ease and comfort.

Find a spiritual practice that helps you to ground yourself in who you are.

Eat.

Get help. Seriously.

P.S. Are you uneasy about the upcoming weeks?

Do the Holidays freak you out?

There is such a big fear around the stress, the overwhelm, the family gatherings, the Christmas parties and – of course – the FOOD that my clients are already getting anxious about it.

So, as I did last year, I’ll repeat the super impactful Coaching Series on how to get through the holidays without binges, food fear and with your body-confidence in tact.

We'll cover the following topics:

The secret to enjoying the holidays without depriving yourself or “losing (perceived) control”

How to effortlessly deal with the guilt and anxiety that comes with eating “too much”

The 3 major strategies to handle Christmas parties with ease and actually have fun

The #1 reason women binge on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day even though they believe to “have it all under control”

The 2 biggest mistakes women make approaching the holidays and this time of the year

My 5 best tools to help you get rid of stress and the tensions that seem to arise whenever you focus on food all the time, connect with your loved ones instead of obsessing over the buffet and be in the spirit of giving instead of in the spirit of dieting

This will be a transformational and powerful experience and will only share tools that are completely doable – as to not add to the holiday stress.

When you sign up, you’ll be able to participate LIVE on the call and you’ll receive the recording within 24 hours after the call.

In this episode of the Escape Diet Prison Podcast, Deb and I talk about dieting, health and disease.

In this episode of the Escape Diet Prison Podcast, I am joined by Claire Bristow. Claire is an accredited nutritionist, PhD student and passionate mental health advocate.

In this episode of the Escape Diet Prison Podcast, Deb and I explore the concept of "enough".

Many ex-dieters have a hard time connecting with their body's signals of hunger and fullness. It takes a while for them to re-learn what it means to have had enough food. When do you eat and when do you stop?

How do you stop eating before you're super stuffed but also give yourself and your body enough pleasure to sustain you and keep you full of energy?

There are no black and white answers to this question and the feeling of what is "enough" will vary from day to day. It's different for every person as every body is unique.

And that's exactly where most have a slight freak out, right? After all, we're so used to not having any grey zones when it comes to our diet. There are good foods and bad foods, depending on which expert we follow. We are supposed to eat what is deemed healthy and should feel guilty for eating anything else.

We eat exactly how much our weight loss expert told us to eat - whether we're (still) hungry or not.

That's not how it works, though. That's not how reality is. That's definitely not what having a healthy and balanced relationship with food looks like.

Exploring the concept of "enough" means building a deep relationship with yourself and rebuilding the trust that you've once had. There are certain guidelines (for example that regaining trust in your body and rebuilding the sense of what is enough can't exist at the same time as managing your weight) you can build your foundation on and there are definitely many parameters that show you you've not eaten enough (fatigue, dizziness, constant hunger, hellloooo?!).

This - and more - is what you'll learn by listening to this week's show.

Enjoy!

It's about that time of the season to go through your closet, ditch the summer clothes and put your favorite sweaters back in the first row. Cleaning out your closet can be super challenging when you're struggling with your body anyway - the mark of a new season often marks the comparison of your current weight and shape to that of last year.

Shame, guilt, panic are emotions that then often take their turns.

However, as always, there's a different way. You can totally de-clutter your closet without freaking out and we'll share some tips to help you along the way.

Fall is also a time where our appetite and our desire for food changes and adapts to the colder temperatures and the less daylight. Halloween is coming up, which adds another challenge to the cravings that can occur more often now anyway.

We share the secrets to allowing your appetite to occur without falling into a binge or weeks of overeating.

Halloween candy isn't the enemy, it's delish and can be a super normal part of your entire year. All you need to do is relax and stop putting unnatural demands on yourself.

We also talk about photos and how you can make peace with them again. It's true, looking at photos can be a super triggering experience when you're convinced that your body is wrong and that you are taking up way too  much space. When we look at photos, we don't look for our beauty, we almost always look at what we feel is wrong, ugly, flawed.

Every women does it and she sees things hardly anybody else sees - thus driving herself deeper into the hole of body-shame.

When you're convinced that you're so ugly and that your face, legs, fingers are oh so wrong, it's almost impossible to accept compliments. Yet the more you begin to embrace where you're at and once you stop convincing yourself that you'll never feel good at your current weight, the easier it'll be for you to soften up and allow others to point out your beauty.

We also dive into the phenomenon of different meal times and different hunger levels during the day, why diets do not work and how to allow yourself to just be yourself all the way.
