Episode #108: Want to Avoid Halloween Candy? A Common Sense (and possibly unconventional) Approach

,

With Halloween around the corner, the idea of being around so much candy may be giving you a real fright (sorry, I couldn’t help it). And I get it. There was a time when being around candy felt so conflicting to me. I wanted to eat it, but not eat too much of it. I wanted to enjoy my favorites, but more often than not, when I started to eat one Snickers bar, it would turn into far too many. 

The common advice that we get from diet culture is to not have candy in the house and get rid of it as soon as we can. Or, to just buy the candy we don’t like so we won’t be tempted. Wouldn’t it be nice to just feel relaxed around candy and trust yourself enough to know that you can eat it if you’d like it and leave it when you’re not wanting it? I want to guide you to that place. 

On the podcast, I’m going to share with you why the conventional advice around avoiding Halloween candy doesn’t work. And offer you a common sense approach using intuitive eating principles. I’ll share what to do this year, if you haven’t started practicing intuitive eating yet and what to do if you’ve been practicing intuitive eating for a while but want to feel even more free around all foods, including Halloween Candy.

Episode #104: Is It Time To Give Up Drinking?

,

Something happens when you start your intuitive eating journey. You start to wake up to the signals your body shares with you. Some of those signals are lovely, like the sun on your skin and when your belly hurts because you’ve been laughing so hard. And some are not so lovely, like when you’re tired and have a headache after drinking a couple of glasses of wine the night before. 

We can’t filter out the signals we don’t prefer and just notice the ones we do prefer. Which is why you may be noticing how alcohol may not feel good to you.

On the podcast, Tara shares her own story being alcohol free for the past three years and how she came to that decision. She also shares the common thread between dieting and drinking, which are both a form of deprivation. Tara offers a few suggestions if you’d like to take the next step to examining your relationship with alcohol.

Episode #101: Daring to Not Diet with Glenys Oyston

, ,

Glenys Oyston, RDN shares her history of dieting and being the “5%” that lost weight but feeling so much emotional distress and food preoccupation to be there.

She shared her desire for body currency and desiring the accolades that come from being that person that lost weight and can keep it off. 

We talked about the risk that comes from only deriving our value from our body because we miss other ways to value ourselves.

Glenys shares what body tolerance is: being okay that you don’t like your body, what to do when you’re having a bad body day, the importance of noticing internalized anti-fat phobia, and recognizing the challenges in the workplace around self care.
