We're digging deeper into what it really means for us (and others!) when we have rules about how other people should behave around us, our eating, and our weight. Right now, for example, you might be asking others to police the way you eat. That might seem like a great idea, but it often leads to frustration and resentment for all involved. Others feel manipulated and you feel let down. This episode will help you better understand the problems with having rule books for others, so that you'll be ready to let them go.

This episode continues the exploration of conditioned eating and focuses on staying in our power no matter what other people do with food around us. You might think that your partner shouldn't have brought home Krispy Kreme, or your colleague should think twice before ordering in a crate of muffins for the office, or your neighbor could be a little more thoughtful about sending over cute little Chloe to sell chocolate bars for a desperately desired school trip. Well, I want to offer you another perspective on navigating the actions of other people in your life. Listen in to find out more!

One of the most deeply held beliefs preventing people from stopping at the level of fullness that feels best for them is that it's wrong to waste food. If that's something you believe, it's a thought worth exploring because that thought often leads to guilt, which then leads us to eat the food we're afraid to waste. We have so much baggage about throwing out food that we rarely stop to ponder that eating food we don't need is just a different kind of waste. In this episode, we explore how to get to a place of peace around throwing away food. Listen to the episode to find out more!

If you're open to looking for signs of physical hunger—and to experiencing it once it arrives—this episode will take you a little deeper. In addition to understanding how your body signals physical hunger, it's helpful to understand how the intensity of your hunger changes over time. Using a number scale to assess hunger and fullness can help you to get in touch, and stay in touch, with physical sensations of hunger and fullness. This scale helps you determine how hungry or full you are, and to put numbers to your experience. Listen in to find out more!

Rediscovering a nourishing fullness begins with the willingness to first be empty. In other words, you need to risk hunger. With a history of bingeing or overeating or chronic dieting, hunger may be something that you no longer let yourself experience often. It can feel uncomfortable, sometimes even terrifying. If you feed yourself when you're hungry and if you bring a mindful awareness to deconstructing the experience of hunger—to what it feels like and how it's intensity changes—it will soon lose some of its power and become more of a neutral sensation, a simple message that it's time to eat soon.

What time is it where you are right now? Is it mealtime? How do you know? So often we eat because of the time or because others are eating or because others are encouraging us to eat or because we're afraid of what others will think of us if we don't. Many times we eat because we see an ad or pass something that looks good or smells enticing. Sometimes we eat when we're not hungry because we've been told that eating at certain times is good for us and will speed up our metabolism. Sometimes we eat because food is in front of us or because someone said we shouldn't waste food. Sometimes we eat just by virtue of location—we're at the movies, or the ball game, or on vacation. Sometimes we eat just by virtue of location—we're at the movies, or the ball game, or on vacation. Sometimes we eat because of the day of the week—Wednesday is Wing Night and Friday is Pizza Night. Sometimes we eat because the season or occasion—it's a special holiday or celebration, or it's a summer treat or a winter tradition. Sometimes we eat because something's on special at the checkout or caught our eye down the aisle. Sometimes it's because someone you love and who loves you baked something fresh. Sometimes we eat as a form of rebellion for all the times we've been told we can't. What to do? Listen to the episode to find out!
