EP 68. Having Fun Without Food

Your brain is a pleasure-seeking machine. For some, that pleasure means food. You have sneaky, self-sabotaging thoughts like "I can't wait for the party because we're going to have all this great food"  or "I can't wait to try this." These thoughts sound innocent enough, but what you may not be aware of is that these thoughts are the reason you overeat. They cause you to believe that the eating of the food is causing you to experience fun. I have news for you. You don’t have to eat to have fun. I know your brain wants you to believe the opposite, but you can enjoy yourself without feeling compelled to eat all the food.  In this episode, I share with you a super simple process to unravel this habit of eating for fun so that you can experience your next social gathering with a new definition of fun.    On today's episode, you'll learn:  how it's possible to have fun without depending on food the sneaky, self-sabotaging thoughts that tell you it's okay to overeat at a party  how to go to a social event and still enjoy yourself even if you don't eat all the food   FEATURED ON THE SHOW — Ready to Stop.
