thank you SO much for your insight at 26:00, about feeling like there might be TOO much of a "good thing" with comforting yourself for some folks. It feels a lot like what the media tells us self love is - oh, just order that take out! eat that dessert! stay in bed all day! but as someone who has a past of restriction AND binging and has recently fallen into a pretty depressed state where all i've been able to do is "treat myself" way, way too much with nights in a row of take out, eating past the point of comfort, to the point of discomfort/numbing out, i'm so relieved to hear y'all talk about this side of things rather than just strictly the restriction side. self love is active, hard work, and yes! i need rest, i need comfort (in the form of food, which i don't think is inherently bad), i need to stay in my apartment and veg out sometimes, but i find that when i'm able to break out of that pattern and take care of myself in harder ways, (moving my body, cooking myself healthy meals that excite me, getting outside for fresh air, connecting with people, keeping my space tidy, etc) i feel 10x better. i always have to be careful that it doesn't come at the expense of falling back into restriction again, but right now, addressing binging and compulsive eating/behaviors is my main goal, and i can't explain the comfort it gives me to hear that side of things as well. thank you both
Overjoyed that you posted this episode. Was looking for it on Tuesday😂also 18:00 and 23:28 are both spot on. The question is what do I really need right now. If food and snacking is the only time I give myself time to "relax" and release my stress and there are not any other options I allow myself to take a break without food, than there is a problem. Also the association in our heads and habit of sitting, eating and finally having me-time, but realzing that you can also relax without having to eat. This is mainly an issue I have to work on.
