#143: If Your Nighttime Ice Cream Binge is the Only Thing in Your Life You Look Forward to, Lovingly, We Need to Talk

Rebuilding Trust With Your Body

Ice cream is hands down my favorite food of all time. I often eat it as my snack in the evening before bed (and yes, sometimes I literally eat it in bed).

However, if you find yourself binging on ice cream (or any other food) at night, and if it is basically the only thing you have to look forward to in your life, then (I say this lovingly, because I care about you), we need to have a chit chat - which is what we’re doing in this episode.

If food is the only thing that brings you joy, and if binging every night is your pattern at the end of the day, and you’re feeling stuck, frustrated, ashamed, and worried that things will never get better - I’ve got you covered. We’re going to talk about how to break out of this cycle, so that you can still enjoy food AND your life outside of food, without food having more importance than it should.

Key Takeaways

1. If food is the only thing in your life you look forward to, that’s telling us something really important
2. What your Total Conscious Time (TCT) has to do with your eating
3. How to decrease food obsession by first making sure you’re eating enough
4. The areas of your life to audit to see what’s lacking and what areas need attention outside of food

Decreasing the space that food is taking up will allow you to let LIFE in, which might be really fun and exciting, and it might be really hard and challenging. No matter your experience, I’m here to support you through it. Let’s dig in!

Today’s Wellness Woo is euphemisms like “play food” and “sometimes food.”
