Episode 57: Q+A: I’m giving myself permission to eat, why am I still binging?

<p>This week we have a question that came up with one of Gillian’s clients!</p> <p>In this episode we discuss some reasons why it feels SO hard to eat just one portion of peanut butter or one square of chocolate.. even if you’re no longer dieting.</p> <p>If it feels like there is still that ONE food that you just cannot have around, this episode is going to be so helpful for you!</p> <p>We discuss how food rules might appear in some sneaky ways, why some foods are a harder to moderate than others, and how to start unraveling the fear around specific foods. You’ll learn about the three types of food rules that you might still be following without realising it, and how to start working towards letting them go.</p> <p>Olivia and Holly also share their personal experiences with peanut butter, and how they’ve gone from taking down a whole jar to being able to take it or leave it.</p> <p>As always, if you’re enjoying the podcast, please go ahead and share your favourite episode, and don’t forget to leave us a rating and/or review wherever you’re listening!</p> <p><strong>Mentioned in this episode:</strong></p> <p>Matthew Walker: Why we sleep</p> <p>Armchair Expert podcast</p> <p>Episode 30 Binge Eating/Overeating: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/63Dd7pvAqqzp49EFnPC2nC?si=8c384164acb64c89">https://open.spotify.com/episode/63Dd7pvAqqzp49EFnPC2nC?si=8c384164acb64c89</a></p> <p>Episode 31: Actionable tips for emotional eating: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/4D0lRQb9uldeKMtTCaRLRA?si=7a3d8eff2f364ad1">https://open.spotify.com/episode/4D0lRQb9uldeKMtTCaRLRA?si=7a3d8eff2f364ad1</a></p> <p>Mindful eating raisin exercise: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2Eo56BLMjM">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2Eo56BLMjM</a></p> <p>Holly's Behavior Analysis Chain doc: <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZskStF0jK1UmVQFiyED2uwQhiPBI8c5H12L5zN6UpKc/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZskStF0jK1UmVQFiyED2uwQhiPBI8c5H12L5zN6UpKc/edit?usp=sharing</a></p> --- Sen
