Talking to loved ones about recovery from disordered eating (or the choice to give up dieting) is complicated. We created this episode to share with friends and family who want to support your journey but aren’t quite sure what to say. We’ll discuss:

• Sarah & Stef’s experience of talking to friends about binge eating
• When your disorder is not taken seriously
• The difference between support and “getting it”
• What do we need from loved ones to support us?
• When supporters are “concerned for your health”
• Defensive conversations with family members
• When people assume recovered means thin, or that this is a matter of willpower
• Asking for specific support: What do you need?

Deciding not to diet anymore can feel empowering…especially from the safety of social media communities or inside of a pandemic. But what happens when we go out into the world and get confronted with people who actively trying to lose weight and eat “healthy?” What comes up for us? In this episode, Sarah & Stef discuss:

• Dieting with others as a form of community and connection
• Wanting other people to “fail” at their diet
• Why can other people do it and I can’t?
• Stef’s friend who has a “dieting personality”
• Asking people to stop talking about dieting
• The “health” objection of not dieting

Greed is a word that comes up a lot around binge eating and overeating. What if you believe that your binges aren’t a disorder or a “problem,” but a manifestation of being greedy? In this episode, Sarah and Stef address questions like:

• Do we want too much food or do we simply want too much?
• Where does greed come from?
• Does greed have a reason, or are reasons just an “excuse”?
• What does greed have to do with emotional discomfort or sensitivity?
• Is binge eating self-indulgent?

Do you struggle to be more consistent in your life? Whether its with food, exercise, self-talk, or pretty much anything else in life, what is the story with consistency (or lack of it)? In this episode, Sarah & Stef talk about:

• What consistency looks like for Sarah & Stef
• Consistency depends on your context of the day
• How do you know when to push yourself or not?
• Example: journaling
• How consistency is related to self-trust
• Why might we resist being consistent?
• The power of the present moment

The Intuitive Eating approach sometimes gets portrayed as a “junk food free for all.” So does eating nutritious food only happen in the context of a diet, or are there ways to incorporate nutrition intentionally without dieting? In this episode, we explore:

• What is your definition of “healthy eating”?
• The role of flexibility in a non-diet world
• What if you don’t automatically crave nutritious food when you give yourself permission to eat all foods?
• Adding in versus taking out
• “Do It For Future You” – is this a diet/fitness culture philosophy?
• Sarah doesn’t enjoy meal planning and prep!
• The Million Dollar Question: If eating this way would not change your body in any way, would you be doing it?

• Is “permission to eat” alone enough to reduce guilt?
• Guilt about the health impact of binge eating
• Reducing guilt by seeing nutrition as a part of health

Have you ever felt like you don’t want to start eating because it actually makes it harder to stop? Why do you think that is? In this episode, we discuss:

• The desire to put off eating to reduce “out of control” eating
• The psychology of the ego in diet mentality, and how that sets up expectations and perfectionism with food
• The “Eat When You’re Hungry” downfall of some Intuitive Eating mindsets
• What state are you in when you start eating?
• Biofeedback & self-talk during rapid eating periods
• Black & white mentality (either eating “well” or eating it all)
• Pleasure and dopamine withdrawal (is it boring to just eat “normal” amounts?)
