This is the lesson that nobody wants and everybody desperately needs. I know a lot of us fear regressing, because we don't want to feel like we're going backwards.

You eat standing at the counter. Or in the car between errands. Or with one hand still on the keyboard. So when someone tells you to slow down and pay attention while you eat, the honest answer is: when? I don’t even have five minutes. I got this exact question four times in one week, so I’m answering it here. Fair warning, this one is a little tough love.

My favorite teacher taught me this one lesson that saved me years of my life. It actually helped me finally get to the gym consistently (I share exactly how in the episode). Toward the end of the episode I'll also share with you how you can practice with food (and with me!) in a new way ... coming October 10!

Listening to this episode will help you gain clarity on what you need and want, simplify your life to get it, and get out of your own way. The longer I do this work, the more I see my blindspots. The more I see them in other people.   In this episode, I'm sharing a few of the areas where I’ve had to get honest and real with myself.  l give you an extra thought experiment at the end of the episode too, which always brings me instant clarity.  ---- Work with me to change your relationship with food completely:⁠⁠ katiepapo.com/programs Get emails from me with deeper expansions on what you're learning here, to make it stick better in your mind: ⁠⁠katiepapo.com/resources⁠ Subscribe to my YouTube Channel to help you create a new chapter with food:  https://www.youtube.com/@katiepapo108 Follow me on social media for more angles to help you reinforce new thinking patterns around food and your success: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/katiepapo108/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katiepapo108 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@katiepapo

I literally made the exact same mistakes with movement and exercise that I did with my eating... and it took me 10 years to realize it. The same pattern that kept me stuck in binge eating was keeping me stuck in pain. Hip, wrist, neck. I tried chiropractors, physical therapy, osteopaths, acupuncture. Still crazy pain. Just a month after I realized my mistake and started changing my mindset, I found my (now) personal trainer, who legit LIVES by this exact philosophy that works AMAZINGLY with food. But she applies it to movement and fitness. Sit down with me and my personal trainer, Katie Potter, as we talk about healing, leaving old habits behind without relying on willpower, staying consistent with healthy habits without it feeling like a drag, and growing into the person you want to be. Even ONE sentence of this convo can change your life. --- Work with me to change your relationship with food completely:⁠⁠ katiepapo.com/programs Get emails from me with deeper expansions on what you're learning here, to make it stick better in your mind: ⁠⁠katiepapo.com/resources⁠ Subscribe to my YouTube Channel to help you create a new chapter with food:  https://www.youtube.com/@katiepapo108 Follow me on social media for more angles to help you reinforce new thinking patterns around food and your success: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/katiepapo108/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katiepapo108 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@katiepapo Where to find the podcast: Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/outgrow-binge-eating/id1543042734 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5y3sCVpguwdby4r16QOPaG

“If I struggle with eating too many chips, which is a better approach: moderation or not eating them at all?” I received this great question, and in this episode, we’re looking at both approaches....plus a third option that I use myself, that you may not have even considered. ....

"I know what to do, I just can't sustain it." I was always extreme, all-or-nothing. Now I can be consistent in whatever I want. It took a new understanding of consistency for me to turn into a serious BEAST. Let's look at this in a new light. ....

You’ve read the books. Listened to the podcasts. Gone to therapy. So why do you still feel out of control around food despite everything you know?  What will it take for how you FEEL around food to actually change? This is an insanely frustrating gap.  To be so smart and self aware, (and usually an exceptional problem solver), it’s soul-sucking to feel stuck in the same problem, even though you know so much.  In this episode, we’re talking about why that gap between knowing and doing exists, and what actually needs to happen for you to start creating a new reality with food, where it actually feels easy … and even effortless. If you feel like despite all your knowledge, you’re still saying ‘screw it’ in the moments that count, this is the piece you’re missing. ---- Work with me to change your relationship with food completely:⁠⁠ katiepapo.com/programs Get free tips via email: katiepapo.com/resources Subscribe to my YouTube Channel to help you create a new chapter with food:  https://www.youtube.com/@katiepapo108 Follow me on social media for more angles to help you reinforce new thinking patterns around food and your success: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/katiepapo108/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katiepapo108 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@katiepapo

What finally made food stop being such a big deal, even after a 40 year eating disorder? Meredith shares the insights that changed everything for her, and what she wishes she'd understood much sooner. ..........

It was so annoying to have a good streak with food, decide to eat ONE damn cookie, and then kick myself AS I watch myself spiral out of control. Let's call me "Person A." After I'd get off track, I'd have to gear myself up to get motivated again. The worst part was I'd literally binge in the process of "starting fresh," because I needed my "one last binge" before going all in yet again. I desperately wanted to be one of those people who maintained healthy habits without even thinking about it. Let's call them "Person B." Person B could eat healthy on autopilot, easily reach for the fruit instead of the ice cream, and be happy about it without a second thought. Meanwhile, deciding if I was going to have chocolate tonight could literally consume an entire afternoon. In this episode, I'm sharing the internal shift that turned me from Person A into Person B. ----- Work with me to change your relationship with food completely: katiepapo.com/programs Join my email list: katiepapo.com/resources Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@katiepapo108
