A Dark Night of the Soul – And Where Do We Go From Here?!

In this episode of the Escape Diet Prison Podcast, I share 5 steps to incorporate self-care into your life and embrace yourself on a whole new level. When I first began taking the concept of self-care really seriously, it felt quite uncomfortable to me. How would I be able to take care of myself in a way that was actually nurturing instead of destructive? How could I be kind and loving to myself instead of feeling hateful and ashamed? How could I ever feel at home in my body and soul when all I wanted was to be someone I was not? I didn’t know the answers but I knew that I needed self-care big time. I was drowning in my guilt and shame and I knew that turning around my view of self-care was essential for me in order to pave a path to more self-love and to a healthier life. So, slowly, step by step, I dipped my toes into the practice of self-care and with it, I began to recover from an almost life-long battle with self-esteem and self-kindness. Over the years, I learned that taking care of myself was an ongoing practice, but that I didn’t have to put myself into a box (you probably know how much I hate being “imprisoned” in systems) in order to succeed at continuously making sure that I was looking after my needs. I created a framework for self-love that is not only super flexible but also super effective and today, I’d love to share this framework with you. Here are 5 steps to incorporating the practice of self-care into your life. Commit The first step towards any change is always commitment. A really, effin’ big commitment. A daily commitment, in fact. You need to make a pact with yourself, promising yourself to do what it takes to take care of YOU. Now, to be totally transparent, I had to renew this promise many times as I slipped and fell, but with each renewal, my resolve grew. So, commit to your healing, commit to your self-care, commit to your life. Every single day. Touch Don’t be afraid of touching your body. When we lack self-esteem, feel big and too much, we often have no idea where our boundaries are. The more we touch, the more we’ll know where we begin and where we stop. This creates an unmeasurable level of self-awareness and it also elevates your relationship with your body and weight. You can’t continue to live in your head, but truly need to drop into your body more and more. Touch will do that for you. Let go Part of my self-care practice was to let go of many thoughts, concepts, “realities”, dreams, and people in order to gain life, energy and joy. I let go of toxic friends who were constantly talking about diets and weight loss. I let go of Facebook pages because of the constant bombardment with “positive thinking” without any research or actual tools behind their words. Over time, I began to say goodbye to the dream of being someone else, someone my parents wanted me to be (aka. a doctor or a CEO, someone who was suuuuper successful in society’s eyes). I released the desire inside of staying a little kid without female curves or responsibilities of an adult and instead began to take ownership over my life and my heart’s longings. Letting go, saying goodbye, and decluttering is a big process on the way to cultivating a rock-solid and life-affirming self-care practice. If you do it consciously and courageously, you’ll take huge leaps forward and live a kind of freedom that you may now only dream of. Use your senses Walk barefoot and feel the blades of grass touching your feet. Use essential oils and make it a game to become aware of all the nuances in the scent. Feel the rain or the sun kiss your skin. What do you notice? What does it feel like? Massage your hands when you’re at work. Stretch when you get out of bed and allow your body to greet your soul. Close your eyes and listen to the world’s sounds with all of the most incredible details. The possibilities are endless here. By using your senses, you drop into your body, which grounds you when you feel flighty and anxious. Honesty That is probably the biggest, most scary self-care practice I started and still commit to: brutal honesty with myself. I lied so much when I was caught in the traps of my eating disorder and had zero self-esteem. I lied and cheated and lied some more: to myself, to others, to everyone who threatened to take away my identity of being a sick person. And even when I began to take my life in my own hands, I still lied. I lied because I was ashamed and the crazy thing is that the more I lied, the more I hurt myself. Lying feels so easy, doesn’t it? But admitting and telling the truth is hard. However, the moment I was really honest with myself, things began to shift. I got help, I accepted support, I began to see that I had to change my ways but that I didn’t have to face this struggle alone. Honesty is a profound practice that uplifts your life and takes away the shame and fear we often feel. My journey to cultivating self-love, true, solid self-love, is not over yet. As a Martha Beck Life Coach, I learned to use my body as a compass for walking towards my North Star. That way, my body guides me in making life’s decisions, a level of self-care I never could’ve dreamt of when I was struggling with my inner demons. The most important lesson I learned while cultivating self-care and choosing life was the truth that our body is so wise. She is wise beyond your mind’s imagination and she knows your truth. Don’t destroy her, learn to love her, trust her, take care of her. One step at a time. I’d be super grateful if you took a moment to leave a review on iTunes.

5 steps to radical self-care: a framework for self-love

The Covid-19 pandemic has the world holding our collective breath and has given birth to a tremendous amount of inner turmoil. Many of my clients talk about waking up in the middle of the night with panic attacks, experiencing major headaches and a general feeling of unease. There’s the pain of the current situation, but also the fear of the future.  When is this horror going to end? How are our lives ever go back to normal? Will I stay healthy or will a loved one be infected? What if my gym will stay closed for another for months? What’s going to happen after all of this? Can I ever go back to work again? Will my kid return to school this term? When will I see my friends again? My grandma? My sister?  These are just some of the questions we ask ourselves and create major (mostly painful) stories around; an endless loop of negative thoughts that keep us stuck in fear. I love the dream of past and future. They seem so real. – Byron Katie Yes, this is an extreme time. Yes, we are afraid. Yes, the future is uncertain. But it’s never been any different. In essence, nothing’s changed. We’ve never been guaranteed a tomorrow or even a life in an hour. Life is uncertain in its essence – whether there’s a pandemic or not. The worry about the future, the constant creation of horror scenarios inside your mind, the hopelessness and inner terror will not create the outcome you desire and will not change a thing about what is currently happening. Instead of worrying, begin to allow yourself to be in the present, relax and create the grounds for power and aligned action. How? This is what I talk about in the podcast!

Covid-19 & How to Overcome the Fear of the Future

In this episode of the Escape Diet Prison Podcast, I offer a glimpse behind the scenes of how we are dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic and how I can support you in these extreme times. From meltdowns to immense gratitude to shame to joy, we’re going through a whirlwind of emotions and every single one of us has a unique experience and we need to make space for all of these emotions to express themselves. And I do mean, ALL fo them – the positive emotions, the expansive emotions, the happiness and love, just as much as sadness and fear. If it feels super hard for you, please know that you are far from alone.  If you want to have some fun and just not think about the pandemic, it’s OK and you are not alone.  If it feels overwhelming, if you’re angry, scared, bitter or have the feeling that you cannot breathe, it’s OK. This is how it is right now. If you feel like crap because you sobbed into your child’s arms, it’s OK. This is how it is right now.  If it’s all too much and you just want it to be the way it used to be, it’s OK. But, yeah, this is how it is right now.  All you can do, really, is take deep breaths, do what you can, be extremely compassionate toward yourself and your loved ones and practice tender, loving kindness whenever possible.  If it gets too hard, reach out. Resource. Don’t believe that you have to do this on your own.  I am making extra space in my calendar for a few more coaching sessions this week, so if you feel called to dig deep and find strategies that will help you to get through this tough time, finding your very own core of peace and living your life from that deep sense of safety and nurture, book your complimentary discovery call with me now: annesophie.us/discovery Your life is worth it. Enjoyed this episode? Share it with others in your life who MUST listen to it right now. YOU are a change maker in this world and your voice needs to be heard.

COVID-19, Diet Culture & Self-Shame Spirals

In this episode of the Escape Diet Prison Podcast I share my top 10 ways to romance yourself. 1. Have a date with yourself. Pick a fancy restaurant (one that you usually only go to with a love interest or your partner) and dress up. Wear a sexy dress, do your hair and put make up on. Even wear super sexy underwear. 2. Send yourself a postcard. I love this because it makes me appreciate myself, makes me chuckle and smirk. And there’s nothing better than coming home to a surprise postcard with a few beautiful and kind words written on them. You can go a step further and write yourself a letter of appreciation and forgiveness. Put it in a beautiful envelope and send it to yourself. This will make it even more special. 3. Stand in front of the mirror and proudly proclaim, “I love my body.  I love my thighs, my hips and my tummy.  I appreciate all the incredible things that my body allows me to do.  I am perfect exactly the way I am”.  For bonus points, do this naked. 4. Buy yourself a bouquet of flowers or pick yourself a bunch of flowers. Flowers; I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with them. I never really notice them when they’re there, but when they’re not – especially in spring – it feels weird. I have grown to loooove tulips or sun flowers and buying myself a bouquet makes me feel appreciated and taken care of.  Don’t wait for someone else to send you flowers, do it yourself and enjoy the dots of color in your home. 5. Be curious and listen to yourself. Learn something new about yourself every day. What do you like? What fascinates you? If you were an animal which one would you be? If you were a superhero which one would you be? Get to know yourself on a more intimate level than you’ve done before. Reduce all the noise of daily life, let go of all responsibilities for a few moments and simple get to know your core. You’ll be surprised at what you find out, I promise! 6. Be irresponsible. You know the feeling of being in love, right? When you’re newly in love, all you care about is that one person that makes you so happy: you think about him all day long and nothing else seems to matter. Food, your job, your workouts, other friends, family, etc. nothing brings you that high that your boyfriend brings you. And this high makes you do some irresponsible things like, let’s say, get married after 6 weeks, spend more money than you should, skip work or other dates. Well, you are your own biggest love, so it’s totally fine to be irresponsible in order to court yourself. Buy yourself a pair of new shoes, play hooky for a day to spend it outside with yourself, eat a few pieces of lemon cake and ditch your silly weight concerns. Etc. It’s OK to be irresponsible from time to time and HAVE FUN. Don’t take life too seriously, seriously. 7. Go on a hike with yourself. Listen to music or an audiobook or simply listen to nature and observe it in all its glory. 8. Sign up for a brutally hard gym class. This may not seem obvious to you and it may feel counterintuitive, but believe me, you’ll feel awesome after the class and you’ll discover amazing things about yourself. 9. Connect with your inner child: play with legos and color with pencils. This’ll help you reconnect with your creative side and getting a bit silly will strengthen your self-confidence. 10. Do something you’ve always wanted to do. What have you been dreaming of for most of your life? Have you always wanted to be a singer? Then do karaoke in a local pub. Have you always wanted to go to Thailand? Book a flight and do it. Have you always wanted to learn knitting? Sign up for a knitting class. Have you always wanted to speak Spanish? Start listening to podcasts or sign up for a class. The possibilities are endless. BONUS TIP (had to add that to the list!): Smile at yourself.  Smiling at yourself is one of the easiest, yet most powerful ways of showing love to yourself. Some smile tips include smiling at yourself in the mirror instead of beating yourself up, smiling at yourself upon waking up to great the day in a positive way, smiling through your tears (the single most awesome thing to do when you feel sad) or smiling while doing work you don’t really want to do. A smile makes everything better and shows that you appreciate yourself on a whole new level. Enjoy this episode!

The post 10 Simple Ways to Romance Yourself appeared first on Anne-Sophie Reinhardt.

In this episode of the Escape Diet Prison Podcast I share my top 10 ways to romance yourself. <h2>1. Have a date with yourself.</h2> Pick a fancy restaurant (one that you usually only go to with a love interest or your partner) and dress up. Wear a sexy dress, do your hair and put make up on. Even wear super sexy underwear. <h2>2. Send yourself a postcard.</h2> I love this because it makes me appreciate myself, makes me chuckle and smirk. And there’s nothing better than coming home to a surprise postcard with a few beautiful and kind words written on them. You can go a step further and write yourself a letter of appreciation and forgiveness. Put it in a beautiful envelope and send it to yourself. This will make it even more special. <h2>3. Stand in front of the mirror and proudly proclaim,</h2> “I love my body.  I love my thighs, my hips and my tummy.  I appreciate all the incredible things that my body allows me to do.  I am perfect exactly the way I am”.  For bonus points, do this naked. <h2>4.

Eating in the Light of the Moon with Dr. Anita Johnston

Florence Gillet

In this episode of the Escape Diet Prison, I am joined by size-inclusive eating psychology coach Florence Gillet. Florence helps chronic dieters and overeaters reclaim their freedom of body and mind in order to transform their lives.

Escape Diet Prison - The Podcast with Anne-Sophie Reinhardt

If you’re still feeling insignificant, unworthy, less than or too much because of your body weight, it’s time to get to the bottom of what is really going on. I get it, we are made to believe that our weight is the main element of who we are, it’s what makes or breaks our worthiness as human beings, it’s what makes us right or wrong. But, obviously, that is complete and utter BS and nothing but a way to keep us women small and feeling like crap at all times. The cool thing is that once you realize your weight is NOT who you are, you can begin to work on what is ACTUALLY making you feel so insignificant (if there STILL is a reason to uncover) and you can leave that shadow behind and instead step into the light. You can embrace your body and your weight for what it is and instead of wasting your life chasing a senseless dream, you can begin to build a life that will leave a legacy of meaning, rather than a number on a scale. I give you some essential strategies on how remember your inherent and unshakeable significance in this week’s episode of the Escape Diet Prison Podcast. I also talk about how to “un-learn” calorie counting and how to deal with the feeling of bingeing at night. If you’d rather see the video than listen to the podcast, you can watch it here.

Join the Body-Love Wellness Circles – starting April 29th!  work on your relationship with your body dig deep into the reasons you’re holding on to body-hatred clear the path for a life of true freedom let go of the beliefs you’re holding on to about yourself, your body and food create a life that is true to what you actually want learn to live without dieting experience your body again learn stop your dependance on sugar and food find ease in your body and comfort in your skin learn to stop thinking about food all the time and SO much more!

Isabel Foxen Duke

In this episode of the Escape Diet Prison Podcast, I am joined by Isabel Foxen Duke who helps women stop feeling crazy around food. Isabel has one of the most distinct voices in the realm of emotional eating, bingeing, dieting and the obsession around food and our bodies. I love her authenticity and her no Bullshit approach and am thrilled to share this conversation with you. We talk about:  Isabel’s struggle with food and how she basically doesn’t have a memory of not feeling like her body was a problem she needed to fix Never questioning the “truth” that you constantly need to control food and your body or all hell will break loose How your desperate search for the magic secret that’ll make you permanently thin and loved can take over your life The extreme feelings of shame and failure that dieting/binge eating brings about The danger of the messages and controlling behavior in eating disorder and diet recovery The Hunger/Fullness Diet Isabel’s turning point: the moment she realized that you just cannot control your food and that that is totally fine (gasp!) The moment real recovery actually begins! The importance of body-acceptance and what acceptance actually is How long-term weight suppression is harming your body How to accept your body when you’re in a larger body (even in a world of weight bias and fat phobia) Weight and Health and the fact that dieting is never a safe treatment option for any condition The concept of Binge Eating as a construct that can only exist in a diet-obsessed world What normal eating actually is and so much more!  ‼️ Check out Isabel’s free video series on how to stop feeling crazy around food.

HAES, Ed Recovery and Weight Stigma with Ashley Seruya

Jennifer Gaudiani

In this episode of Escape Diet Prison, I am joined by Dr. Jennifer Gaudiani, the Founder and Medical Director of the the Gaudiani Clinic. The Gaudiani Clinic is a unique outpatient medical clinic specifically dedicated to adolescents and adults with eating disorders or a history of an eating disorder, of all shapes and sizes. As one of the only outpatient internists in the United States who carries the credential Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS) and Fellow in the Academy for Eating Disorders (FAED), she is passionate about the medical care of adolescents and adults who have a complicated relationship with food and their body. Board Certified in Internal Medicine, she completed her undergraduate degree at Harvard, medical school at Boston University School of Medicine, and her internal medicine residency and chief residency at Yale, where she won numerous clinical awards. Dr. Gaudiani moved to Denver in 2007, choosing Colorado with her husband because its emphasis on the outdoors, the incorporation of nature into daily life, and the importance of family activity time as it offered a great way to foster work-life balance. In 2008, she was one of the founding team members of the ACUTE Center for Eating Disorders at Denver Health. After seven great years there, she left as its Medical Director to pursue her vision of outpatient care, founding the Gaudiani Clinic. During her years at ACUTE, Dr. Gaudiani became a nationally recognized internist for her work on the medical complications of eating disorders. Dr. Gaudiani’s book, Sick Enough: A Guide to the Medical Complications of Eating Disorders, was released in October 2018. She has lectured nationally and internationally and is widely published in the scientific literature as well as on blogs. She is a current member of the editorial board of the International Journal of Eating Disorders and and the Academy for Eating Disorders Medical Care Standards Committee and is a former board member of iaedp (International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals). Dr. Gaudiani is one of the only outpatient internists in the US who carries the Certified Eating Disorder Specialist designation and has received the honorable designation of Fellow from the international organization Academy for Eating Disorders. In founding the Gaudiani Clinic, she has established a nationally unique outpatient medical setting, not dictated by restraints on visit time or insurance rules, where strong, supportive, and healing relationships with patients help them achieve wellness while remaining in their communities. Through lectures and consulting work, she continues to improve the quality of medical care for patients with eating disorders in treatment programs around the country. Check out Dr. Gaudiani’s book Sick Enough. We talk about:  Dr. Gaudiani’s motivation for working with those struggling with eating disorders Her own relationship with food and her body and how this affects her work The false ideology that there’s a relationship between our weight and our worthiness The fact that recovery is possible but complicated and that it often takes a village The truth that every single wonderful human has their own story and their own unique desires and fears that must be taken into consideration during treatment How individuals are being harmed by the medical system Weight-inclusive healthcare How the brain tries to save us from starvation Why she would never prescribe weight loss Why and how HAES works medically Why and how diet culture doesn’t work The study that suggests that cardiovascular death and cancer death are significantly elevated over time in patients’ following a very low carb diet What to do when you feel like you absolutely cannot accept your body and still hold on to needing to lose weight Why you cannot fight the genetics of your body Dr. Gaudiani’s book “Sick Enough: A Guide to the Medical Complications of Eating Disorders“ How to stop being scared of sugar or other foods you demonized Intuitive Eating Why anything else is healthier than restriction Working with allergies, IBS and more How we can do better for the next generation and so much more!

Sexuality, Intimacy and Recovery with Jennifer Rollin

The Holiday Season is here. The Christmas music is all around, cookies are being baked, holiday parties are being planned, the pressure to create the perfect holiday is rising. For some, the holidays are the most beautiful time of the year, for others – especially those who are fighting with their weight and their relationship with food, the holidays are a time full of triggers, shame and guilt. There is SO MUCH to do, SO MANY parties to attend, SO MUCH temptation that feels oh so overwhelming and SO MANY reasons to freak out. It’s sooo easy to reach for perfection during this time. However, the more perfect you try to be, the more likely it is that you’ll snap. Food fears, restriction, too much exercise and a series of binge attacks is almost guaranteed when you don’t allow for imperfection and don’t make your self-care a priority on your Christmas to-do list. What about your self-care tools? Even if you feel it might be too early, now’s the time to prepare and create self-care strategies that you can benefit from in the weeks to come. Now’s the time to take note of your triggers and ask yourself what makes you want to go on a diet, restrict, binge or run away? What are the situations, the words, the memes or the bodies you see that trigger current or old eating destructive eating behaviors? Now’s the time to DO. THE. WORK. and to use your tools heavily. Be open to change and implement the self-care strategies that we share in this episode of the Escape Diet Prison Podcast and beyond. Check out Deb’s blog “We are more than good enough” here.

Self-Care Strategies for the Holiday Season

In this episode of the Escape Diet Prison Podcast, I talk about the concept of letting yourself go and the shame that comes with gaining weight when giving up dieting and beginning to eat more intuitively. When we begin to understand that dieting is a concept that was manufactured to keep us women “in line” and small, we can liberate ourselves from the chains that keep us stuck in counting calories and fat grams. We can slowly move into an understanding of our own power and the truth that life can – and should – be fun, which it isn’t when you are always dizzy from hunger or exhausted from an inhumane workout regime. Once you realize and truly get in your cells that your value as a person, as a woman, as a mother, wife, friend, boss, client, co-worker, daughter, sister, aunt, or whatever else you consider yourself to be does not lie in your weight and shape, you will be free. You’ll feel it, you’ll see it, you’ll hear it and you’ll taste it – the freedom to suddenly be who you’ve always wanted to be; anyone far beyond the limits of that hyped up lifestyle diet. So yeah, let yourself go. Set yourself free. Grab the opportunity to leave all weight loss schemes behind and focus on your true power instead. Listen to this episode of the Escape Diet Prison Podcast or watch the video here.  Let’s escape diet prison together. Book your 30-minute Breakthrough Session and begin choosing yourself over and over and over again. No more body hatred. No more obsession with being thin. No more pain. You can turn it around. Starting now.  Love and light,    Want more support? Join the free Escape Diet Prison Facebook group to engage with others who are on the same path as you. We can only grow if we surround ourselves with like-minded people. If you don’t, you’ll stay stuck and that is a promise. Enjoyed this episode? Share it with others in your life who MUST listen to it right now. YOU are a change maker in this world and your voice needs to be heard.

She’s Really Let Herself Go & Other BS

I’ve been thinking about the connection between breaking free from an obsession with food and being willing to make sacrifices. I have this belief that you can have absolutely everything in life that you truly want to have. If others can have it, why not you, right? You can have a yummy relationship with your body. You can be completely free around food. You can have so much fun in your daily life. You can have a soul-nourishing relationship with your soulmate. You can have a circle of friends that feels like family. You can have it all. Of course. AND you also have to make sacrifices to get there. Of course. Sacrifices in the form of un-learning painful beliefs, un-knowing long-held “truths”, digging deep and going where you have been scared to go for decades. Sacrifices in the form of doing the inner work. But also sacrifices in the form of time, money, resources, sometimes even comfort. The level of healing, the level of freedom you’ll achieve directly correlates with your willingness to make these sacrifices. That’s a tough one to hear, isn’t it? Especially since most of us are still secretly searching for the quick fixes. The quick and easy road to weight loss. The super fast track to freedom from food. The 2-minute a day magical pill to loving your body. You’ve been avoiding all the sacrifices, haven’t you? If you’re really honest with yourself, you aren’t ready to let go of comfort and step into healing, to stop making excuses and start taking action, are you? Be honest, but without shaming yourself, without beating yourself up, without getting angry and feeling even more guilty than you already do. You really do feel like you’re not ready to sacrifice what you’ve got going on right now in order to get what you really want. And I get it. But I also know what happens when you finally do make the sacrifice and walk towards the uncomfortable, leaving the “easy” behind. I could’ve bought a car (or two) with the money I invested in my healing. I could’ve read a hundred novels in the time that I invested in my path to freedom. I could’ve saved a million tears had I not chosen to go where it hurt. I could’ve had it easier had I stayed the same. And of course I was often scared shitless. Of course I was often jealous of my friends who got to buy cute clothes, new cars, tons of scented candles, jewellery and do all kinds of things I couldn’t afford. I sacrificed. But really, it wasn’t a sacrifice AT ALL. It was the path I had to take in order to get to where I am today. These were simply actions that were necessary for me to break the chains of my past, to let go of all that had been holding me down and then move into the here and now with confidence, self-love and a complete detachment from any moral around food. And it feels GREAT to know that those “sacrifices” led me to a life beyond my wildest dreams. I see it in here. Those of you who are investing in themselves are those who are breaking free. Those who are allowing their fears to hold them back, stay stuck. It’s your fear, of course, that’s keeping you stuck. It’s also our culture that tells us that you deserve everything NOW. And you do. But could you handle all the good now? With all your fears? With all your restrictions? With all your unresolved emotional pain? Probably not. And you know that. That’s why you continue to waste money on programs that promise you a quick fix – you know deep down that you’re sabotaging yourself and that is what you want, what a part of you wants, because you’re unwilling to heal, you’re unwilling to get the good stuff – out of a deep fear and the belief that you don’t deserve it anyway. But you do. Oh how you do. You deserve the greatness that life has to offer. And you have to get to a point where you can actually allow yourself to receive the magnificence that is waiting for you. You won’t get there by lying to yourself. You won’t get there by looking for the quick fixes. And you won’t get there if you turn around and walk the other way every time it gets hard. So, make some time today to journal on how you are unwilling to make sacrifices. Are you continuously spending money on things you do not need instead of investing in your healing? Are you saying that you don’t have the time for what really matters but then sit in front of the TV for entire afternoons? Are you consciously refusing to journal/think about/meditate on what’s really going on? Are you still yearning for the super quick fix that’ll save you and turn your life around? Call yourself out – lovingly and gently – on how you’re avoiding true freedom and true healing. And then ask yourself: what am I willing to do about it? Sweetness, you deserve a life that is about more than food and your body but you also have to be willing to face your fears and limiting beliefs and go GET that life. &lt;3 Speaking of deserving, I have something uber cool for you: an idea that came to me and that hasn’t allowed me to think about anything else because I know in my heart of hearts that this is the shift you need in order to surrender to true body-acceptance.

[REPLAY] Shifting from weight to wellbeing with Linda Bacon

When healthy eating meets emotional eating or even bingeing, all hell breaks lose. After all, emotional eating is the WORST, isn’t it? One is never supposed to eat emotionally. Where’s the control in that? Where’s the healthy in that? Where’s the diet in that? But what if emotional eating was normal, the thing to do, totally, utterly healthy? And what if the need to eat healthy ALL THE TIME actually caused you to eat out of control? Which, to be clear, is NOT emotional eating, but a bingeing experience. What if all our talk of being what we eat is the reason you eat until you feel sick? These are just some of the questions that Deb and I answer in the latest episode of the Escape Diet Prison Podcast. Deb and I share our experiences with Emotional Eating, Healthy Eating and Bingeing and why one of those three is more dangerous than the others. We also talk about fat shaming, stigma and why children need to be our role models. Your relationship with your body and with food can change! You might be thinking that your situation is hopeless, that you’ll always have to fight your body, log calories, exercise your body to the ground, stay hungry and unsatisfied. You might be thinking that you’re the exception, that you’re different than those who did break free. However, those thoughts aren’t true. Your relationship with food and your body can change. It will change if you take the right steps, if you learn the right skills and if you transform your mindset – lovingly, of course. It might not happen overnight, but it can happen for sure. Check out Deb’s new blog “We are more than good enough” here. ✍️ When you journal, magic ensues. 🖋 You begin to hear yourself, feel yourself and trust yourself more and more.

Traci Mann

In this episode of the Escape Diet Prison Podcast, I am joined by professor and author Traci Mann. Traci is a Professor of Social and Health Psychology at the University of Minnesota. Her research aims to identify and understand the behaviors associated with eating regulation and body image as well as the process of self-control during health behavior changes.

We talk about:  Traci’s journey to researching “food regulation” and body image What blew her mind when she learned about the real science of weight loss Her experience with dieting The myth of willpower Why doctors still prescribe weight loss What to do instead of dieting The many reasons why lasting weight loss does not work and so much more.   When you journal, magic ensues.  You begin to hear yourself, feel yourself and trust yourself more and more.

Re-gaining the Freedom of Choice with Lina Salazar

“All I want to eat at all times are all the things I am not allowed to eat.” “I am just not one of those people who likes to eat the “healthy” foods.” “Of course, there are good foods and bad foods. Are you kidding me?” “Food IS totally moral and I can never get it right.” “I always have to watch out, otherwise I’d never stop eating all the foods I shouldn’t eat.” And on and on and on we go. One judgmental thought chasing the other. We hear these comments everywhere, we think them, we feel them, we live by them,. We believe we know these food judgments to be true, don’t we? And because we believe them with every fiber of our beings, we act accordingly. We feel guilty and ashamed for eating “pleasure foods”. We hate on ourselves for having “broken our diets”. And, of course, we get obsessed with the exact nutrient contents of a single item of food and we live in extreme fear of doing it wrong. Of messing it up, which we always end up doing, because, hey, there are too many rules to ever comply with all of them. These fears create the obsession with a certain food group. They create the feeling of needing to “cheat” (which you don’t ever have to because you can have all foods at all times, unless you have an allergy or have other medical reasons), which is always followed by a spiral of shame. These fears, rules and lies keep you from experiencing food in all its glorious forms and they certainly keep you from having the revelation I share in this recording. Curious what I’m talking about?

Change the Health & Justice Conversation with Lucy Aphramor

It’s been 8 years since I started my healing from several eating disorders and a severe depression. It’s been 8 years of carving my way to a more liveable, wholesome, worthwile life. It’s been 8 years since that little girl I used to be took one of the most important steps of her life and allowed herself to break free from the monsters roaring inside. The monsters telling her that she wasn’t good enough, thin enough, smart enough, pretty enough, unworthy of being alive. It’s been 8 years since that little girl took a deep breath and just went for it. Stumbling and falling along the way. Kicking and screaming for months. Scared as she had never been scared before. But she pushed herself along, gently, sometimes harsher, full of love, often solely driven by desperation. She went for it because she knew that something had to change, that the mere existance, the daily chaos of calories, workouts, macros, BMI tables, points and grams coundn’t be all. She went for it and for the first time in her life, she did it all for herself. These past 8 years have been a constant stream of growth, of shedding layer after layer of pain, of ridiculous beliefs, of conditioning. These past 8 years have created a fire that has burnt away all the despicable truths the girl was told by those trying to tear her down. These past 8 years have been nothing short of miraculous. And they’ve been as ordinary as life can be. There was happiness, there was pain, there was joy and there was angst. I’ve fallen in love, I’ve been broken up with, I’ve had a child, I’ve struggled with my parenting, I’ve had lots of successes and I’ve failed. I’ve been healthy, I’ve been sick, I’ve been on top of the mountain and at the bottom of the sea, I’ve gained friends, I’ve lost friends, I’ve sometimes even lost myself. It’s been a life with all the challenges that life has to offer, but it’s been a life without the nagging, painful calorie-counter and weight-checker in my head. It’s been 8 years… wow. The little girl has grown until a strong, independent woman on a mission to serve the women of this world. I’ll tell you about my takeaways and the reality of healing in this episode of the Escape Diet Prison. Enjoy! When you journal, magic ensues. You begin to hear yourself, feel yourself and trust yourself more and more.  Check out my Email Series 365 Journaling Prompts for more Body-Confidence, Self-Love &amp; Happiness.

The Truth about Life After Self-Destructive Dieting

(Post 5/5 – read post #1 here, post #2 here,post #3 here and #4 here) When Teresa stumbled over FALLing into Body-Love, she had an instant hit of “knowing” this was “it”.

FALLing into Body-Love

In this episode of the Escape Diet Prison Podcast, Deb and I explore the concept of “enough“. Many ex-dieters have a hard time connecting with their body’s signals of hunger and fullness. It takes a while for them to re-learn what it means to have had enough food. When do you eat and when do you stop? How do you stop eating before you’re super stuffed but also give yourself and your body enough pleasure to sustain you and keep you full of energy? There are no black and white answers to this question and the feeling of what is “enough” will vary from day to day. It’s different for every person as every body is unique. And that’s exactly where most have a slight freak out, right? After all, we’re so used to not having any grey zones when it comes to our diet. There are good foods and bad foods, depending on which expert we follow. We are supposed to eat what is deemed healthy and should feel guilty for eating anything else. We eat exactly how much our weight loss expert told us to eat – whether we’re (still) hungry or not. That’s not how it works, though. That’s not how reality is. That’s definitely not what having a healthy and balanced relationship with food looks like. Exploring the concept of “enough” means building a deep relationship with yourself and rebuilding the trust that you’ve once had. There are certain guidelines (for example that regaining trust in your body and rebuilding the sense of what is enough can’t exist at the same time as managing your weight) you can build your foundation on and there are definitely many parameters that show you you’ve not eaten enough (fatigue, dizziness, constant hunger, hellloooo?!). This – and more – is what you’ll learn by listening to this week’s show. Enjoy! Check out Deb’s blog “We are more than good enough” here. Love and light,    Enjoyed this episode?
