Episode #106: What is Overeating?

I got this question from a friend and I knew it was time to go back to basics. I use the term “overeating” so often, but it’s important that you have a clear understanding of what overeating is and why you may be doing it. 

On the podcast, I share why we’ve been conditioned to believe that overeating is wrong and bad. We don’t worry if we haven’t had enough water to drink or if we’ve over-hydrated!  

I offer a concrete way to know if you’ve eaten past a comfortable fullness, as opposed to believing you’ve overeaten if you eat more than a portion size that’s been determined by a diet. I also offer four reasons why people typically overeat. It’s not surprising that three of these reasons have to do with dieting!

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.
