In this podcast episode, the hosts explore the complex relationship between food and emotional needs. The conversation begins with a reflection on Stef's Instagram post suggesting that food serves as a portal to solitude, comfort, pleasure, and escape, making the idea of changing one’s relationship with food seem like a sacrifice of essential coping mechanisms. The discussion delves into personal anecdotes and reflections on how food has occupied significant mental and emotional real estate, offering a sense of engagement or distraction during times of discomfort or emptiness.
The conversation shifts to the concept of "spoon theory" as a metaphor for energy and capacity management, illustrating how individuals have limited resources to cope with daily demands. This leads to a broader discussion on the importance of recognizing one’s own limits and allowing oneself the grace to rest without self-judgment. The episode emphasizes the significance of self-awareness and giving oneself permission to meet needs in more diverse and healthy ways, including acknowledging the importance of physical touch and emotional support.
Throughout, the hosts engage with their live community, incorporating questions and comments that enrich the conversation.
One of the greatest gifts of this podcast is the recognition that we're not alone.
Wait until you’re old and alone and have nothing to do all day. I’m on a fixed income, partially disabled, have only public transportation(which is hard to use). I do have other interests but it’s overwhelming to make those things happen.
Call IN! NY!!
Hi! Thank you so much for your work! I’ve now listened to the back to basics series and a couple of the podcasts. Anyway, I’m chiming in now to support Stefanie (sp?) in ‘calling out sick’. Definitely the wording for NJ, PA, and NY.
I appreciate your support!!
Such a strong relate to transitions creating a need to binge, esp going from being around people to being alone. It's such a specific feeling I'm so glad to learn that others experience it! I love being alone so I've always framed it as relief / decompression from being around people, but then why the need to binge...?!
Australians call in sick OR "chuck a sicky" hahaha
I've only listened to the first 10 minutes of this so far. This week I'm thinking about the role attachment (in the attachment theory sense) plays in my relationship to food and the ways I use it to self-soothe. Stefanie's description of the discomfort of unstructured time and Sarah's talking about transitioning between being with people and not being with people both resonate for me. Additionally, for me there's something about wanting and not trusting others' approval. The thread I see through all of this right now lies in attachment theory, and I'm feeling the urge to dig back into Bowlby and Ainsworth to see what keys I can find there.
Yeah I'm into attachment theory and childhood traumas too. When I was digging deep into my childhood I've linked being in incubator for 2 months and my wound of rejection which is affecting me BIG time. It's the pain in my heart that I have been feeling all my life but didnt know what it is. Now I am healing it by self-havening soothing touch while imagening adult myself and other people or animals stroking and looking at my inner child compassionately while she is re-experiencing some traumatic events. My job is to feel her grief and speak the pain out loud. I do it especially when I get triggered by some situation wherein the wound gets activated or you can recall one.
1. I don't think laziness is real. I think there's always an underlying reason we can't or should not be productive when we're inclined to label ourselves lazy. 2. "Laziness" is a revolutionary act against the false narrative that we have no value unless we're being productive, a la capitalism.
I've lived all over the US - call OUT sick. LOL.
Hi Sarah & Steph. I've found this discussion really helpful. Food equals safety, pleasure, entertainment... an answer to most tricky situations.
I would like to find out what I really need when the easy answer is "my old pal" food.
I live in the UK and have always "called in sick".
I also never knew that people can ask for hugs.
I have very few spoons on most days & do have Fibro myalgia.
I like the "portal" chat. I also love the freedom of eating what I want.
In Chicago, we call OFF sick!
I procrastinate. I SHOULD be doing artwork, I SHOULD be playing music. Then, I feel overwhelmed and I don’t do anything.
So common!
I call out sick 😂
In Australia we say “call in sick” but more common “chuck a sickie” or “diving”
We (Sarah/UK) would say 'throw' a sickie if faking it ...
@@lifeafterdietspodcast4229 ahhh in Australia that’s always assumed
We call OFF sick!
