36. How to heal your relationship with food in the New Year

Jan 9, 2022

It’s officially 2022, and while you may be feeling brand new, there are probably people in your life who are also starting brand new things, like new diets or new food-based resolutions. Now this year might be different for you! You aren’t focused on trying to adopt a new diet, but it can be hard to maintain that mindset when your whole circle seems a bit more food-obsessed than normal.  

 

In today’s episode, we talk about what to do when every single person in your life is starting a new diet or engaging in certain food-related New Year’s resolutions. During our conversation, we discuss why it’s okay to feel overwhelmed by this, and remind you that you are not alone. We speak on the invisible cost of diets, the importance of reflection in everything we do in life, and normalizing thoughts of envy and despair around weight loss. 

 

In this episode we cover:

• Has there been an uptick in diet talk and ads?  [1:28]
• Diet talk can feel isolating when it’s no longer part of your journey [3:00]
• Being able to focus on what brings you joy and why  and what triggers you and why [7:24]
• It’s okay to feel jealous! [10:07]
