Episode 73: Feelings and Diet Thoughts with Special Guest Sarah Kirby

It's Not About Food Podcast with Laurelee Roark - A podcast by Laurelee Roark - Fridays

Diet thoughts are the kind of thoughts we’re having when we think we “should” only eat certain kinds or qualities of foods, count calories and carbs or fat grams, or other eating rules that are restrictive and based on losing weight. These thoughts are learned from our diet culture. Dieting is an obsession that allows us to focus on something very tangible and concrete, giving us the feeling that we are in control. When we understand that diet thoughts can sometimes be a response to underlying feelings, we can begin to use diet thoughts as a red flag to explore these feelings. Guest name, bio & contact infoSarah KirbySarah is a Bay Area native.
