Fears of Satiety as Evidenced By Eating Couscous Off The Floor Instead of On My Plate

from Unprocessed · host Lia Avellino

I rather eat the couscous off the floor than own the desire to eat couscous at the beginning of the meal. This episode is about the denial of satiety, the feeling that comes with having a need fully met. I explore why fullness is triggering, and how our relationship with being fully fed plays out on our relationship with food.How does the food we eat/not eat become SO powerful? How does restricting our needs help us to feel less deprivation and why is having a full cup sometimes more painful then having an empty one? Listen in to look at the science of how our punishment and reward systems get wired on food and how to differentiate between our cravings and our desires. Sit with me while I sit with the question: How gratuitous can I let myself be? How big can I let my hunger be?
