I used to use the word cheat meal a lot when really all that term did was turned it into something negative. Today I use the term, treat meal because really I'm eating something that I want to enjoy without the added guilt!
Ever felt guilty about enjoying a slice of cake or a burger? In this episode of 'You're Sober! Now What?', Tamar Medford and Lane Kennedy tackle the complex relationship many of us have with food, especially in the context of long-term recovery. Tamar opens up about her own journey, moving from labeling foods as 'cheat meals' to embracing them as 'treat meals'.
This shift, she explains, has been pivotal in her recovery process, helping her view food as both fuel and a source of enjoyment. The conversation isn't just about what we eat but how we think about it. Tamar and Lane dive into the mindset changes necessary to foster a healthier relationship with food. They debunk common misconceptions about addiction and dieting, emphasizing the importance of patience and self-compassion.
Rather than obsessing over weight loss or inches, they encourage listeners to focus on overall well-being. Throughout the episode, Tamar shares personal anecdotes and practical tips that have helped her along the way. Whether it's learning to enjoy a 'treat meal' without guilt or understanding food as a source of energy, her insights are both relatable and inspiring. For anyone navigating the tricky waters of food and recovery, this episode offers a refreshing perspective.
It's not just about what you eat but how you think about it. Tune in for a mix of real-life experiences and actionable advice that can help you build a healthier relationship with food while staying on the path to long-term recovery.
