Until we deal with why we do these behaviors, we may be able to white knuckle our way through for a while, but there's going to be something that's going to tip us back over the edge.
Ever felt like food is more than just fuel? In this episode of 'The Therapeutic Poet', host Jacky Power sits down with Leslie Davies to chat about the tricky subject of emotional eating. Leslie, author of 'You Can’t Eat Love', opens up about her personal journey and how she discovered that her struggles with food were tied to a deeper relationship with herself.
They dive into why so many of us feel we're 'too' something—too fat, too thin, too anything—and how these feelings can lead to unhealthy eating habits. Jacky and Leslie explore the idea that while changing our bodies can be tough, changing our mindset and how we treat ourselves is within reach. Leslie shares practical tips from her book, offering a fresh perspective on how to break free from the cycle of emotional eating.
They discuss the importance of self-compassion, celebrating small victories, and using written conversations with oneself as a tool for healing. The conversation also touches on the role of therapy and support groups, like Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACA), in helping individuals navigate their emotional eating habits. Leslie's insights remind us that it's not just about what we eat, but why we eat the way we do.
This episode is a heartfelt look at how understanding our emotions can lead to healthier relationships with food and ourselves. If you've ever found yourself reaching for a snack when you're not hungry or felt guilty after eating, this episode offers both empathy and practical advice. Tune in to hear Jacky and Leslie’s candid discussion and learn how you can start changing your relationship with food today.
