It's human to want. Feeling a desire for a particular food (as in a craving), or simply a strong desire to EAT is a normal challenge to work through on our road to healing from disordered eating. In this episode, we cover some of the pitfalls you can avoid, and how to help yourself reach a place where you connect with and notice your desires, without being bossed around by them. 

Some of the topics we discuss in this episode include: 
  • Why ignoring your wants causes problems 
  • Why you can feel like you really want a particular food, but then be unsatisfied once you have it
  • Why wanting something doesn't mean it's a good idea to eat it (or that it will make you happy) 
  • Why we are poor at predicting how it will feel to have (or not have) something we want
  • What to do when you want conflicting things at the same time
