Overeating: A Heart to Heart (Encore)

In today’s episode, I share some personal reflections on the often-stigmatized topic of overeating, particularly in the aftermath of holiday indulgence. I talk about my own Easter “nutritional chaos,” and realistic expectations with your relationship with food. With a mix of humor and sincerity, the discussion turns to the difference between overeating and binge eating, emphasizing that the former is a normal part of life and not synonymous with a disorder. The episode serves as a reminder that perfection in dietary habits is neither attainable nor desirable. So lighten up, mkay?“Your messed up relationship with food and your body affects the people around you in more ways than you like to admit.”- IrisDeadliftsThis week on Here’s the Deal: Fitness, Nutrition and Mindset for People Who Don’t Want Life to Suck:The important distinction between overeating and binge eatingWhat “all foods fit” actually meansHow managing expectations can dramatically influence our progressWhy beating yourself up for overeating is ridiculous and goofy, so stop itTips on managing temptation by rearranging one's environmentThe importance of periodic maintenance phasesThe responsibility all humans have to deconstruct their mindset about food, body, and exerciseConnect with Us:Meri on InstagramIris Deadlifts on InstagramAmy Rudolph on InstagramUnderstand Binge Eating with Chase Smith EpisodeThanks for tuning in to this week’s episode of Here’s the Deal: Fitness, Nutrition, and Mindset for People Who Don’t Want Life to Suck, where we challenge the common understanding of what it means and what it takes to be fit and healthy!
