More Than A Body with Melissa Hala

Eat what you want, when you want. Eat when you are hungry and stop when you are full.
It sounds so easy doesn't it?

Today I dive into why intuitive eating is a struggle and how you can dive deeper into the conditioning that you have around food.

Oh boy this is a juicy one!
Today Michaela and I dug into her own personal story with disordered eating and recovery which ultimately led to her journey as a dietitian. 

We dove into how the dietetics is still saturated in diet culture/ fat phobic messaging with a large focus on creating weight loss for clients instead of focusing on improving the health of the masses. 

You are going to love this one!

So you are putting away our summer clothes and pulling our fall wardrobe out, but your pants don't zip up. Cue the dread, shame, and negative thought spiral.

We have all been here and sometimes this happens every season. In today's episode, I drop some juicy nuggets that will help you move through the distress of "growing" out of your clothing!

As chronic dieters, not only do we have a strained relationship with food, but we typically use exercise as a way to gain control over our bodies by using exercise as a form of punishment for eating something that we think we shouldn't have.  Or utilizing exercise as a way to "earn" food.

It is easy to get wrapped up in this cycle of punishment and reward, but there is a way out AND it may even speed up the process when it comes to healing your relationship with food and your body image!

Last week I shared a mindfulness meditation with you, which has provided a beautiful segway into today's episode.

If you have been struggling with your weight for a long time, it can be really tempting to start a new meal plan, BUT if you don't address WHY you continually gain weight after each diet, you'll continue to follow the same patterns of losing weight and gaining it back.

Mindless eating is one of the biggest culprits because the ups and downs of our weight because we live in a world FULL of distraction.

Do you do any of the things I talked about in today's episode?
