If you struggle with a diet-binge relationship to food, this episode is for you.

So often, on our weight loss journey's, we reconcile our out of control binges with more rigid calorie tracking. Yet as I've mentioned before, this restrictive mentality is what inevitably leads to more bingeing and weight gain.

Therefore, I share my experience of how I naturally lost weight when I stopped counting calories.  By learning to listen, trust and honor my hunger and fullness cues, the binges subsided and as a result, I found a healthier relationship with my body and food. 

The purpose of this episode is not to promote or promise weight loss, but instead to give you another perspective on calorie counting. Had I realized this behavior was providing me the opposite results of what I intended (aka gaining weight when I desired to lose weight), I would have been more willing to ditch the extreme behavior sooner.

** Disclaimer: If you are actively struggling with an eating disorder, this episode may not be for you as weight loss is discussed.

How to recognize when enough is enough? 

When your fear of judgment, shame or embarrassment is keeping you silent and clouded in a cycle that is only prolonging your suffering?

Today I openly share about how my own stubbornness (or unwillingness to acknowledge something isn't working how it was "supposed to") has kept me perpetuating a cycle of struggle (that I was too ashamed to admit).

I cover questions we can ask ourselves in order to gain perspective and how we can slowly walk our way out of whatever we are going through.

In this quickie, I dive into the three blocks that are keeping you stuck struggling with food. 

1) Fear of Identity loss- Who will you be if you gain weight?

2) Fear of the unknown- What if healing/recovery is worse than now?

3) Fear of Being Wrong- What if you can't "handle" weight gain or healing doesn't "work" for you?

Want to know how to overcome these, so that you can truly step into a life FREE of calorie and weight stress? Tune in.
