Self-criticism, negative self-talk, frustration with yourself, and overeating have a complicated, tangled relationship. The myth that diet culture perpetuates is: if only you could achieve your goal with your eating habits and your weight, your inner critic would finally be satisfied. I think deep down, we all know this is a lie. The truth is, negative thoughts and self-criticism trigger cycles of overeating, bingeing, and emotional eating. I’ll share a bunch of examples of how this works in this podcast episode.
More importantly, I’m covering what you can do to stop fighting with your inner critic and how to stop negative thoughts from triggering overeating. It’s a two-step process, and the steps I’m sharing probably aren’t the steps that you’ve been trying so hard to implement.
Enjoy!
