The world is heavy and hard right now. I am grieving for the children and families of Uvalde Texas as well as every single person impacted by gun violence. For some it is a constant fear and trauma. It's so hard to know how to move forward, and how to offer support to those who are grieving.

In this episode I talk about why we take food to those who are grieving, and the very natural and loving gesture that it is. Food is a constant necessity in our lives. What a beautiful thing that it can be used to show love and support when there are just no answers.

In this episode I address the "I wish" statements that I often hear from my clients related to food likes and dislikes. Things like, I wish I loved vegetables more, I wish I didn't have a sweet tooth, I wish I wasn't a picky eater, I wish I didn't love food so much"! It almost looks like a "grass is always greener" scenario doesn't it? Join me as I ponder why these are wishes, and ways to think about them in the grand scheme of our lives.

Listen in to hear some accounts that folks have shared about their experiences with losing weight and the unsolicited comments they receive. Our culture values a smaller body to such an extent that sometimes serious diseases and hardships are overlooked in the praising of weight loss. These comments reinforce the lies that being thinner is always better further perpetuating weight stigma, discrimination, health disparities, and a toxic diet culture.

The stories I read in this episode were taken from the book More Than A Body by Lindsay Kite PhD and Lexie Kite PhD. You can find a copy here: https://tinyurl.com/ynd8u5e5

Join me as I speak to a couple very common concerns related to "needing" to lose weight. We will also go over how the ideas of "I'm just watching what I eat", or "eating in moderation is the key", or "it's just about making a lifestyle change" can also be sneaky ways of keeping us mired in diet culture. It's sounds like it makes sense and is a healthy way to move forward, so what's the problem?

Have you ever felt like you just aren't a motivated person? My guest today would tell you that's not true! Clinical psychologist and podcast host Dr. Shawn Hondorp joins me to talk about the different types of motivation. We discuss how diet culture strips us of an important kind of motivation, the three psychological needs necessary for this holy grail of motivation, and how it impacts habit creation.

Be sure to check out Shawn's podcast - Motivation Made Easy: Body Respect True Health You can also find her at her website here: http://drshawnhondorp.com/ Here is the link to her Values Clarification worksheet: https://drhondorp.com/motivate

More about Shawn:

Dr. Shawn Hondorp is a board-certified clinical health psychologist living with her husband, two kids, and a pug named Teddy in Grand Rapids, Michigan. She received her undergraduate degree from Michigan State University and her master's and PhD in Clinical Psychology from Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA. She has a private practice and a podcast called Motivation Made Easy: Body Respect, True Health, where she talks about how the ways we approach weight loss and health often run counter to what we know about motivation science. She's incredibly passionate about helping teach women to trust their bodies so they can live courageous and connected lives. Her dream vacation day is hiking along a lake surrounded by mountains holding a warm cup of coffee, followed by a delicious dinner and a soak in a hot tub with an ice cold IPA.
