#123 - Finding Freedom with Food and Peace with Your Body with Marla Mervis-Hartmann
New Year's resolution? Diet? Eat better for a few weeks, then go back to old habits? Well, maybe they aren't resolutions at all but wishful thinking.
Resolution means to be resolved, a firm decision to do something or not. But what if deeper beliefs run contrary to that "resolution" preventing you from getting that better body or better life and not eating emotionally.
Why keep going through that awful cycle of shame and diet, rinse and repeat?
Something deeper is going on.
A perfect podcast to start off the new year.
Today I speak with author Marla Mervis-Hartmann who wrote the best-seller BE-Friend Yourself: Finding Freedom with Food and Peace with Your Body
She is also the Tedx speaker of The Secret Ingredient to Feeling Good in your Body.
We dig into the deeper associations we have with food. When an emotion feels too big, we binge, and for that moment the emotion is met, but no healing has taken place. It can be a black hole of trying to fill this empty feeling. It becomes a pattern, a cycle.
We socialize and celebrate with food, we console loss with food, and we eat food on the couch when we're run down.
But what if we've moved on and don't require food for that? What if you heal those stressors within, healing the wound, healing that emotion that correlates to the eating?
What if a resolution truly meant just that, to treat your body and self with healthy food and self-regulation? Instead, creating a day of eating well to succeed, in your body and in your life.
What if we were free from those crutches and food could be your friend?
This is a deeper conversation about food and emotions. Take a listen and share it with someone who might be struggling with food, feeling alone in this fight.
