The Panic Of Letting Go Comfort Eating, Sweets & Facing The Truth

from Don’t come to me for advice! · host Petra Paterson

⚠️ Trigger warning: This episode contains discussion of binge eating, self-induced vomiting, disordered eating behaviours, comfort eating and weight struggles.This is a very raw one.I don't have a solution. I don't have a plan. I don't have a neat ending where I've figured everything out.This is basically a real-time account of where my head is at right now.I've reached a point where I don't like what I see in photos and videos anymore, and I'm trying to work out what to do with that.The obvious answer is to lose some weight.The less obvious bit is that losing weight means looking honestly at my relationship with sweets, comfort eating and all the stories I've carried around food for most of my life.And honestly? The thought of changing that makes me feel a bit panicky.In this episode I talk about growing up around overeating, binge eating, using food for comfort, my complicated history with diets, and why I feel like I'm standing at a crossroads with all of this.
