Episode 256: Put an End to Diet Perfectionism and the Overeating it Causes
Perfectionism. It plays out in so many facets of our life. Why? Because there is safety in perfection.
If we never mess up, if we never do anything bad, then nothing bad will happen to us.
If we can be perfect at our job we won’t get fired. If we can be perfect in our relationships no one will leave us. If we look perfect no one will reject us. If we’re perfect with our diet, we’ll finally have the body we want.
But it’s interesting, because I think in areas outside of food, we’re sort of forced to...

Do you ever feel out of control around certain foods?
Maybe you can’t keep cookies in the house because you’ll eat the entire box within a day or 2.
Maybe when you do allow dessert into your house you intentionally eat the whole thing just to get rid of it so you don’t have to deal with that nagging voice in the back of your head that’s constantly pushing you to go back for more.
Maybe you only eat certain foods in the car or when no one is home because you know the amount you eat “isn’t...
Episode 248: Making Peace with Food with Mindful Eating
When I say “mindful eating” or “listen to your body” what’s your instinctual response?
I know for a lot of people their knee jerk reaction is, “My body wants cheetos and ice cream at every meal, so I don’t think you want me listening to my body.”

Episode 245: My #1 Tip for Healthy Travel (Sans Deprivation)
I just came back from a 7-day cruise and on the last night my friend Jose asked how disciplined I felt like I was during the trip.

The right word? Mindful. Here’s how this looked in practice…
Mindful of my hunger and satiety cues.

Summary
I forgot what it was like... carrying weight on your body that you don't want to be there.
I remembered it in theory.
I remember pinching my stomach with frustration. I remember folding my arms over my torso every time I sat down to hide the rolls. I remember hating sit ups because it made my pooch more pronounced. I remember working out twice a day hoping it would fix the problem.
