Ep074: Are You Addicted to Food? Sep 12, 2017

Show notes

There may have been times when you declared to your friends, “I think I’m addicted to food.” You may have been simply joking, or you may have real fears about your dependence on food. Food addiction is real. It includes the same classic symptoms as other addictions like alcoholism and drug addiction. And yet we do tend to joke about it and keep on eating. Because we don’t drop dead after a few trips to McDonald’s, we don’t realize how destructive our emotional relationship with food can be. In this episode, find out if you’re an emotional eater, or actually addicted to food? Learn the difference between the two and where you are on the spectrum…

Ep071: Do You Eat to Please? Sep 05, 2017

Show notes

Eating food that you don’t want, or that triggers you, because someone urges you to is a real trap for emotional eaters. We want to please others, but when it’s at our own expense, it’s a bad idea. In this episode I talk about the various scenarios where people might urge us to eat, and how we can choose self-care over people pleasing.

Ep069: Food Thoughts: Why We Have Them and How to Heal Them Aug 29, 2017

Show notes

One of the hardest aspects of emotional eating is the obsession with food. Incessant food thoughts take control our mind, making it difficult to think about anything else. Food thoughts distract us from our work, our families, and even our relationship with God. They make us feel ashamed and disconnected from those we love. In this episode I explore the lessons that can be learned from our obsession with food, and practical steps you can take to break free.

Show notes

Today’s show is about FEAR, that bugger that often stops us in our tracks and calls the shots. Fear makes us do things we don’t want to do, and NOT do things we want to do. After seeing the movie High Noon, a classic American Western, the lessons were so powerful, I simply had share them with you here.

I recently had the privilege of interviewing the Director and Producer of The Last Dalai Lama, a movie that reveals the deepest thoughts and spiritual hurdles the Dalai Lama has faced. Mickey Lemle was the first to make a movie about the Dalai Lama in 1992, and 25 years later he has once again spent time with the Dalai Lama to learn about his thoughts and life experiences.

Ep064: Control: Why We Do It and How It Hurts Us Aug 15, 2017

Show notes

As emotional eaters, we have a tendency to be controlling of people and circumstances around us. It goes with the territory. We developed this coping skill as children, in response to tough situations where we had no control. But this personality trait is one of the main drivers of disordered eating, so it’s time to take a look and turn over a new leaf.
