Everybody is "stressed", but we don't always understand exactly what that means. We believe that not all stress is bad. It is a protective mechanism that helps us survive situations in life. It also allows us to be challenged and have meaningful experiences. At the same time, if we are stacking stress on top of itself without coming back to baselin…

"I'll get started... after a snack." "This is so overwhelming... I need candy." Life contains onerous tasks, and they can cause dread and anxiety even when we haven't begun them. Because avoiding a chore presents its own drawn out emotional torture, binge eating or procrastineating entices us to escape BOTH the task and the heavy guilt we feel for …

"Now's my chance." "I'll be better tomorrow." "One last time." Thoughts like these can make you feel just a little more reactive, a little more tense, a little less settled.

The following sequence of events may be all too familiar: You want to push yourself to do something different with food - maybe order a carb, eat the dressing, or enjoy dessert out in the open instead of in secret. So you gather your strength, recite a mantra or two, take the leap... and then feel mega guilty afterwards. What gives? This is what yo…

Making a list of alternatives to turn to instead of food is an important step. (Don't count on yourself to be creative when you are in a moment of distress.) But what if you have a list and keep ignoring it? Let's ensure that your list is done right, and look for the stories or thoughts you might be telling yourself that are keeping you from changi…

Does any type of food guideline, rule, or limit "set you off?" You're not alone. As a person's relationship with food heals, this type of food limit reactivity goes down. In other words, it becomes tolerable, then comfortable to experiment with waiting to eat for a short time, or choosing some foods more often than others... without alarms going of…

In this episode we map out a plan for Julie to finally end the hiding and break out of the shame that has plagued her since her chi…
