Fear

After Halloween, many of us find ourselves surrounded by candy, and eating it can trigger feelings of guilt and shame, like we’ve done something wrong. If you’ve ever hidden food wrappers or tried to “erase” what you ate, you’re not alone—and it’s time to break free from that cycle. In today’s episode, we’ll talk about how to release the shame around food, rebuild trust with your body, and start enjoying what you eat without guilt.

Let’s step back and think about why you’re sneaking the food in the first place. It’s about the shame we feel about eating it. If you didn’t feel any shame, there would be no reason to sneak it. You’d just eat it out in the open, without worrying who saw you.

You know that moment when you’re eating, and you realize you are comfortably full and satisfied, but there are only a couple of bites of food left on your plate, and you think, “I might as well finish it.” 

Perhaps you’ve been at an expensive restaurant, and the food is so good, and you’re full, but you want to keep eating because it won’t be as delicious as leftovers, and heck, you paid good money for it.
