But the other reason you think it’s a huge hard thing is that you are looking at it as a big problem. When you do that, it’s hard to see where to begin. What to […]

Episode 213 How to Say No to Yourself and Still Feel Good
Episode 213 How to Say No to Yourself and Still Feel Good Do you hate saying ‘no’ to yourself? I used to. When I said ‘no, you can’t do that’, or ‘you can’t eat that’…I felt deprived. I felt like I was experiencing a terrible injustice. What do you mean I can’t have that? That’s not fair! I shouldn’t have to tell myself ‘no’. I don’t want to miss out on anything. I certainly don’t want to be deprived. But I’ve learned that if I never say no to myself, I wouldn’t love the outcome. I would eat whatever […]

Episode 210: How to Avoid The Perfect Storm of Overeating
Episode 210: How to Avoid The Perfect Storm of Overeating Did you ever have one of those days when all the things that happened, and what you did, added up to you eating way more than you needed? And did you ever have one of those days when all the things seemed to go right? And you easily created a great day of eating and self-care? I like to call these days, both of them: perfect storm days. That means that all the things you experienced, thought about, felt and did added up to a result. Either a day […]

Episode 209: How To Tell If You Are Truly Hungry
Episode 209: How To Tell If You Are Truly Hungry If I followed you around for a few days (don’t worry, I won’t!) what would I see? Would I see you grazing all day? Would I see you sit down to eat periodically, and watch you ask yourself if you were hungry? Or would you go to food just because it was time? Or because others were eating? Or because someone offered you food? A few years back, my eating had nothing to do with my hunger. I ate for all sorts of reasons, and hardly any of it […]
