Ep. #72: Overeating Does Not Equal Failure
So, I used to be all in or all out. If you’ve been listening to my podcasts, you have heard me talk about it. We are either all in, restricting, being on the diet, and doing all the things. Or we are all out, overeating, bingeing, eating all the things.
And then whenever I overate or was in the pantry eating all the Oreos, I thought I was a failure, which then led to more thoughts of “I was always going to be overweight.” I would have all kinds of thoughts rattling around in my brain and I would feel frustrated and overwhelmed. And these thoughts just kept me stuck. Stuck in this cycle of either all in or all out.
Listen in ladies, as I teach you to challenge these thoughts and what overeating really is. I will show you how overeating is just a trigger and how our overeats are just data, and what all this really means. How to be more curious when we overeat. How to listen to the little girl in all of us wanting us to hear her. And telling ourselves we are a failure or we are fat, does not make it true, it is not a fact. Failure is not a fact.
And here are this week’s transformational questions:
- When is the last time you overate, and why did you do it? What are the facts?
- What conversation have you been having with yourself after the overeat?
What You’ll Discover:
- How failure is not a fact, it is just data
- What overeating actually means
- What to do when you overeat
