	164. But What Are "Anchor Meals"?	04 Sep 2024	00:35:26
Welcome back to another episode, everyone! In today's chat, we are explaining Stef's concept of "anchor meals", their psychological and physiological impacts, and how they fit into our daily routines. We start off with entertaining personal stories—from recording mishaps to culinary adventures in Spain—that segue into a discussion on why knowing when your next meal is coming is important for our mental and physical well-being. We explore how sticking to regular meal times can sync up with our body’s internal hunger cues, providing a sense of security and balance—especially for those recovering from disordered eating patterns. Stef shares insights from her binge recovery course, highlighting the importance of scheduled anchor meals, while Sarah adds personal anecdotes about how meal planning differs for someone living alone versus a family setting. Whether you're someone who likes to plan every bite or prefer a more flexible approach, this episode covers how anchor meals can be adapted to fit various lifestyles—including tips and experiments to see what works best for you. Don't miss this one if you're curious about reshaping your eating patterns, want to understand the principles behind "anchor meals" better, or are just looking for relatable, actionable advice on creating a more balanced relationship with food.

	154. But I Don't Know What to Eat...	26 Jun 2024	00:45:25
How do other people make decisions about what to eat? Have you ever been interested in understanding what makes a person choose the breakfast or lunch or snack that they choose? Sarah and Stef offer their personal decision making processes of the meals they ate the day of recording this podcast. From there, the conversation branches off into topics like practical hunger, interoception (a principle of Intuitive Eating), cravings, habits, and preferences. We also ask ourselves the question: what do you do when nothing sounds good? Finally, we talk about what strategies you might use to make decisions about food if you're still in the middle of disordered thoughts and behaviors around food. Join our growing support community.

	152. But How Do I Deal With a Relapse?	12 Jun 2024	00:42:41
This episode is all about relapse in the context of eating disorder recovery. We cover topics such as shame, self-awareness, boundaries, dopamine regulation, catastrophization, and the impact of life circumstances on relapse. Relapses can be very distressing; it's tempting to think we've failed or that we'll "never really get better." In the second half of this episode, we talk about the idea of "remembering and forgetting" as a muscle that actually builds resilience over time in eating disorder recovery -- even if the "forgetting" is relapsing.

	151. But What Do Attachment Styles Have to Do With Food Boundaries?	05 Jun 2024	00:43:28
This week we are talking about attachment styles. The psychological concepts of anxious attachment, avoidant attachment, and disorganized attachment have been used to understand our relationship dynamics with other people, but can it also be used to understand our relationship dynamics with food? For example, anxious attachment in relationships looks like constantly seeking validation and having porous boundaries with ourselves and others for fear of losing connection. Might this also translate to having porous boundaries with food? Would we consistently seek out and overeat because we have scarcity around that, too? Tune in to see how an understanding of attachment theory might help you understand why Intuitive Eating feels difficult and binge eating, compulsive eating, and/or restricting feels so primal... x Stef & Sarah Join our growing support community.

	34. But What If I'm Just Greedy?	09 Mar 2022	00:36:55
Greed is a word that comes up a lot around binge eating and overeating. What if you believe that your binges aren’t a disorder or a “problem,” but a manifestation of being greedy? In this episode, Sarah and Stef address questions like: Do we want too much food or do we simply want too much? Where does greed come from? Does greed have a reason, or are reasons just an “excuse”? What does greed have to do with emotional discomfort or sensitivity? Is binge eating self-indulgent?
	33. But How Can I Be More Consistent?	02 Mar 2022	00:35:54

	31. But Can I Eat "Healthy" Without Dieting?	16 Feb 2022	00:39:13
The Intuitive Eating approach sometimes gets portrayed as a “junk food free for all.” So does eating nutritious food only happen in the context of a diet, or are there ways to incorporate nutrition intentionally without dieting? In this episode, we explore: What is your definition of “healthy eating”? The role of flexibility in a non-diet world What if you don’t automatically crave nutritious food when you give yourself permission to eat all foods? Adding in versus taking out “Do It For Future You” – is this a diet/fitness culture philosophy? Sarah doesn’t enjoy meal planning and prep!

In this episode, we look at: Guilt induced by food excess How understanding the primal brain’s role in binge eating can help reduce guilt Is “permission to eat” alone enough to reduce guilt?

	150. But Is It Self-Care or Self-Indulgence?	29 May 2024	00:46:33
The world talks a lot about self-care, but many people in this community feel selfish taking care of themselves. It can be seen as indulgent to take the time to tend to our own needs, especially as mothers -- check out the second half of the podcast where Stef addresses this from her perspective as a parent (her take might surprise you). So what's the difference between self care and self indulgence? Speaking of indulgence, we also look at the way we talk about food under this lens. Are the connotations of this word inherently problematic? Are we just gluttons or is there a case for the healthy pursuit of food as pleasure, or even as self-care? Tune in...

	BONUS Guided Meditation to Reset After Overeating	24 Dec 2021	00:14:33
GUIDED MEDITATION TO RESET AFTER OVEREATING, BINGE EATING AND/OR EMOTIONAL EATING – Sarah shares her guided meditation to help you find balance after an episode of out-of-control eating. Compulsive eating is a cycle and sometimes the place to break in the cycle is how we treat ourselves AFTER we have binged by shifting our emotional state and setting an intention that will help to restore balance.
