Many of us monitor ourselves with food. It becomes an obsession; we monitor if we look fat. We monitor if other people are fat or thin. More scrutinization often ends in exhaustion, leading to “I know I shouldn’t but F@$# it”. In other words, more monitoring is counterproductive. But there is hope, and a way to break this cycle. In this episode, we will grapple with the questions of: How do we get out of this monitoring but not executing cycle? How do we rebalance our body and brain chemistry while also healing the emotional?How do we not restrict, and instead, discern what is right for our physiological design?How do we feel satisfied, satiated, and healthy so that we actually feel great in the skin we are in, not just resigned to a body that we’re not really comfortable in and doesn’t feel healthy because we feel like bad feminists or otherwise shamed by the body positivity movement?To join this round of Truce with Food, visit https://alishapiro.com/truce-with-foodSend me (Ali) a text message.
