There wasn’t going to be an episode this week but I was inspired by a conversation around difficult relationships with food and so here we are.
Here is what ai makes of it all -
Combating Food Addiction: My Journey from Alcohol to Sugar and Finding Balance
In this special Christmas podcast episode, I open up about my struggles with food addiction and binge eating, particularly during the holiday season. Inspired by a conversation in my online community, I discuss how my difficult relationship with food began when I quit drinking 12.5 years ago, and how it replaced alcohol as a comfort mechanism. I delve into the cycles of binge eating and calorie counting, and how both have affected my body image and self-esteem. I also share how I found a way to manage my food addiction through abstinence from refined sugar, resulting in significant positive changes in my life. Join me as I speak from the heart about overcoming addiction and striving for a healthier relationship with food.
