Podcast Recap

I ponder how we can easily fall prey to self-imposed rules, even when we are trying to practice intuitive eating. New brave companion, Helen, supports another listener and shares some of her own story. Stephanie from Germany asks a compelling question about how trying to stop a binge might make a binge compulsion worse. Cheryl and Sue have an interesting comment conversation about letting go of our food compulsion identities. Shout-outs to Canadian iTunes listeners for a new record, Alen Standish for his help in our last show, and to new Stitcher listeners who’ve added Compulsive Overeating Diary to their playlists.

Are you Creating Boundaries or Self-Imposed Limitations?
a really wonderful article by Katrina Pfannkuch on her blog, Creative Katrina, about the difference between the two, especially in the realm of creative work. Well worth the read!
