25: Reflect on Your Relationship with Food + Things That Helped Me Overcome Binge Eating + Body Dysmorphia

Even if you haven’t struggled with binge eating or body dysmorphia specifically, I still think its helpful to listen to this episode and reflect on if you have emotional eating habits or body obsessions that are making you feel less than.  I talk through my last binge eating episodes and what that looked like, ways I overcame body dysmorphia and binge eating disorder. How food disorders can impact your life just as much as other substance abuse can or other addictions.  I explain how disordered eating an emotional eating can go alll the way back to when you were born and you were first fed by your mother. And I am seeing how this can happen through witnessing my own two kids eating patterns and the difference they had in their first year of life with how I showed up as a mother.  How to disrupt the patterns to start allowing yourself to really feel what you are feeling rather than trying to shove down food to shove down the emotions or pain that feels too uncomfortable to deal with.  Dropping all restriction, meal plans and foods being off limits to start learning the fundamentals of intuitive eating and how to start listening to my bodies internal cues on what it needed so I could nourish it based on its needs not based on food addictive cravings. + I discuss how my body dysmorphia showed up because I was comparing myself to these Instagram fitness girls. I also go into how i self-abandoned and used substances like alcohol, tobacco, smoking etc to try and cope during the most intense and out of control seasons of my life... where I was unwilling to feel what was really going on which also lead me to binge eating disorder. + so much more <3 LISTEN TO MY FULL HEALTH JOURNEY ⁠HERE⁠ FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL: Instagram Tiktok Youtube SUBSCRIBE TO MY NEWSLETTER HERE MONEY MINDSET FREEBIE HERE
