Ep. #219: Overcoming the Negotiation with Food

Have you ever felt food noise in your head “I want this, I need to have this, I have the urge to eat this” is constant.

It can be overwhelming, and you just want it to stop. Maybe you tell yourself that you are going to do everything right today, but halfway through the day, you start thinking thoughts or having the urge to eat something you didn’t want to eat.

Maybe you’ve done this cycle like me. I had done this cycle for so long that I was sick of it and I just wanted the food noise to quiet.

I didn’t want to have the feeling of being hungrier or the urge to eat or think about food.

It was a constant negotiation in my head.

The constant record of noise and negotiation is a way that we sell ourselves on something that our best self doesn’t want.

Diet culture gives us extreme measures and it just keeps us suffering.

In today’s episode, I give you my take on how to stop the negotiations, take control, and do the things that your best self wants.

In this episode…

≫[6:40] Diet culture keeps us suffering in a way that is not for our best selves.

≫[9:02] My take on it.
