Welcome to Real Food Recovery, a podcast created by two lifelong processed food addicts with over 100 years of addiction (and recovery) between them. Paige Alexander and Jamie Morgan Reno use their Real Food Recovery podcast and social media channels to share their struggles, lessons learned, tools, tips, and resources that freed them from decades of food addiction, obsession, and loss.

 

Today we are discussing a topic that you might be surprised by: Self-Pity. Did you know that Self-pity is more than just an emotion…it actually acts like a poison and is directly tied to the use of processed foods? Self-pity creates a cascade of neurotransmitters and hormones in our body that can become as addictive as some narcotics! It acts like a drug, giving us the momentary pleasure of victimhood. But, ultimately, it becomes a dysfunctional and harmful way of developing emotional bonds with ourselves and others. And, what’s even worse, it can separate us from reality.
