Often, we think to ourselves… “I deserve to eat this.” This mentality of “I deserve to eat this” is one of the things that can keep us in an emotional eating cycle and cycle of yo-yo dieting. It's so important to acknowledge that this mentality is pervasive, especially as we're reframing our relationship to food and working to heal our attachments with eating. A key skill is to remember that just because a voice comes into our heads, comes into our hearts, or gets big in our body, doesn’t mean we have to listen to it. Learn more about the ”I deserve to eat this” mentality and how to break free from it in this episode of Emotional Eating Unwrapped.
