episode 113: why breaking up with dieting can feel so scary
In episode 113 of The Diet Diaries I’m sharing a personal story about my son Ben and how it directly relates to the work we’re doing here, together, to move away from dieting, learn how to change eating habits and find ease around food and our bodies.
In today’s episode you’ll hear:
The struggle Ben has been having on his basketball team this year and how he started to overcome it
The significance of focusing on effort instead of outcome
Why it’s so hard to figure out how to change eating habits
Why breaking up with dieting can feel so scary and what to do about it
How to measure progress in terms of effort
The framework that will help guide you when you feel afraid to make a change
Why we continue to do things that we know aren’t good for us
I dive into all of the skills you need to change eating habits and lose fat without dieting in this blog post. And episode 116 talks about how these skills will help you find your best weight for life.
