episode 5: E205 - Letting Go of Weight Gain Anxiety
In today’s episode of The Mindful Balance, we’re stepping into the heart of our relationship with food, challenging the chains of overeating, emotional eating, and binge eating. It’s an invitation to those who’ve ever found themselves promising, “I’ll start a diet on Monday,” only to feel trapped in a cycle of doubt and self-sabotage. We confront the daunting “elephant in the room”—the inner voices that whisper of inevitable failure and lure us back to the familiarity of dieting. This episode is for anyone ready to break free from this cycle, offering insights into the psychological effects of diet culture, the duality of our brain’s now and future parts, and the fears that keep us from embracing change. As we navigate the complex relationship between food, self-worth, and the illusion of control, we uncover strategies for facing fears head-on, letting go of harmful food rules, and stepping confidently into food freedom. Join me as we dismantle old beliefs and foster a more compassionate, understanding approach to eating and self-care. It’s time to let go of fear, embrace change, and discover a balanced, healthy relationship with food.
