<v Speaker 1>I am. Then let's say good day and time did

0:00:31.160 --> 0:00:37.680
<v Speaker 1>you and die out? Happy Saturday? Outweigh Amy here and

0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:41.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna start this episode off with a clip from

0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:44.240
<v Speaker 1>cat defod As Unied Therapy podcasts that went up this week,

0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:50.760
<v Speaker 1>where she processes diet culture and anti diet cultures wildly

0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:57.200
<v Speaker 1>polarizing content that has left many of us very, very confused.

0:00:57.840 --> 0:01:01.160
<v Speaker 1>We don't know what we're doing because, like at one point,

0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:03.960
<v Speaker 1>thin as ideal, and then no, no, no, it's fit

0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:06.560
<v Speaker 1>is ideal, and then it's no, no, no, Being strong

0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:09.640
<v Speaker 1>is ideal. Do what makes your body feel good. But

0:01:09.680 --> 0:01:12.520
<v Speaker 1>by the way, too much cardio is bad for you,

0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:15.360
<v Speaker 1>and lifting weights is the best thing you can do

0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:18.640
<v Speaker 1>for your body. Breakfast is the most important meal of

0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:20.479
<v Speaker 1>the day. We've heard that all our lives, But did

0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:23.520
<v Speaker 1>you know fasting until lunch is better than eating a

0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:26.679
<v Speaker 1>balanced meal before work. You should probably put butter in

0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:30.319
<v Speaker 1>your coffee now and don't use artificial creamers. But remember,

0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:33.160
<v Speaker 1>you should eat and drink foods that bring you joy.

0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:36.679
<v Speaker 1>I want you to wear whatever you want and whatever

0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:38.760
<v Speaker 1>you feel comfortable in. But if you don't want to

0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:41.720
<v Speaker 1>wear a crop top, it's probably because diet culture made

0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:44.080
<v Speaker 1>you hate your body, and you should love your body

0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:47.080
<v Speaker 1>no matter what it looks like at all times. However,

0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:50.000
<v Speaker 1>if you love your body, you will not want to

0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:53.160
<v Speaker 1>eat real ice cream because you can make ice cream

0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:55.840
<v Speaker 1>out of bananas, and ice cream is full of toxins

0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:59.520
<v Speaker 1>that will cause inflammation. Remember, though, you should listen to

0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:02.360
<v Speaker 1>your body and allow it to have what it craves,

0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:06.200
<v Speaker 1>except if you crave an actual banana, then you should

0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:09.440
<v Speaker 1>actually have some nuts because bananas are full of sugar,

0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:12.360
<v Speaker 1>and when you crave sugar, you're not allowing yourself to

0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:15.320
<v Speaker 1>listen to the emotional need underneath. So try and go

0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:17.880
<v Speaker 1>for a walk, but do it because it brings you joy,

0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:21.520
<v Speaker 1>not because it's good and necessary for your health, because

0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:25.120
<v Speaker 1>if you pay attention to your physical health, then you're

0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:28.960
<v Speaker 1>suppressing what it is you really need underneath and allowing

0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:31.760
<v Speaker 1>diet culture to manipulate you into a pawn of their

0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:36.600
<v Speaker 1>multibillion dollar industry. So rebel against it no matter what,

0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:39.600
<v Speaker 1>and do what makes you happy. Accept if it has

0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:42.919
<v Speaker 1>anything to do with what you look like, because you

0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:46.320
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't care. And if you do care, you're hurting other people.

0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:50.040
<v Speaker 1>And smaller is better, but stronger is better than smaller,

0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:53.680
<v Speaker 1>unless stronger it means you become smaller, then you should

0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:56.079
<v Speaker 1>be stronger. And actually I want you to remember you

0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:59.640
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't care about anything except what makes you happy. I

0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:03.120
<v Speaker 1>encourage you to go listen to the full episode. It

0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:06.240
<v Speaker 1>released on Monday, February twenty seven, so that's the date

0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:08.320
<v Speaker 1>you can look for. And then the title is NIT

0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:12.120
<v Speaker 1>a Week Diet Culture versus Anti diet Culture, and NITA

0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:16.320
<v Speaker 1>stands for National Eating Disorder Awareness. We are wrapping up

0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:20.839
<v Speaker 1>NIT a Week this week, and she has a lot

0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:24.960
<v Speaker 1>of amazing episodes up. She's a great resource. She's a

0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:30.079
<v Speaker 1>licensed therapist that specializes in eating disorders. So if you're

0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:35.360
<v Speaker 1>here looking for support, that's amazing. But there are experts

0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:38.880
<v Speaker 1>out there doing really really great things and putting out

0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:41.880
<v Speaker 1>a lot of helpful content. I am not here as

0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:45.000
<v Speaker 1>an expert. I am here as someone that has oh

0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:48.320
<v Speaker 1>Man dealt with an eating disorder for much of my life,

0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:52.360
<v Speaker 1>and thankfully now I'm in recovery. But it's a journey,

0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:55.840
<v Speaker 1>it's a process. So I just share my experiences and

0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:58.720
<v Speaker 1>I bring on others that are in the space but

0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:01.680
<v Speaker 1>know what they're talking about. I really love that clip

0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:04.640
<v Speaker 1>from Kat that I played for you, because it makes

0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:07.800
<v Speaker 1>me feel less crazy that I spent so much of

0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:10.040
<v Speaker 1>my life confused about what the heck to put in

0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:13.880
<v Speaker 1>my body. It was so exhausting for me to keep

0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:17.360
<v Speaker 1>up with all the latest diet trends. And then somewhere

0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:20.440
<v Speaker 1>along the way, well probably because I talked about dieting

0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:24.239
<v Speaker 1>all the time and food and working out and body stuff,

0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:29.000
<v Speaker 1>I became the go to with different friends and family members.

0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:31.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, honestly, now that I think about it,

0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:33.600
<v Speaker 1>if they were really asking or if I was just sharing.

0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:36.640
<v Speaker 1>But I felt as though at times I would get

0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:39.479
<v Speaker 1>asked questions like, oh, what's the latest this or that?

0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:41.240
<v Speaker 1>Or do I need to try this cleanse? Or do

0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:42.800
<v Speaker 1>I need to do that? Or have you read this

0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:46.440
<v Speaker 1>diet book? And of course I was always able to say, yep, yep, yep,

0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:48.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing this, and of course when I was in it,

0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:49.920
<v Speaker 1>it was the best thing ever, and you have to

0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:51.800
<v Speaker 1>try it. And it's because I didn't want to be

0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:55.840
<v Speaker 1>alone in my misery. I wanted others to join me.

0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:58.960
<v Speaker 1>And so what I want to encourage you to do

0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:03.560
<v Speaker 1>right now, without judgment, is to try to take note

0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:07.920
<v Speaker 1>of all the fears that diet culture gave you about food.

0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:10.600
<v Speaker 1>And for each of us it looks really different, but

0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:13.800
<v Speaker 1>I honestly felt every single one that Kat mentioned in

0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:17.240
<v Speaker 1>her little rant. Definitely felt the banana ice cream and

0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:21.080
<v Speaker 1>the butter and the coffee. I felt those ones hard.

0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:23.800
<v Speaker 1>And maybe you're not doing this right now because because

0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:26.000
<v Speaker 1>you're listening, But in a few minutes when this is over,

0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:29.000
<v Speaker 1>if you have time, get out a journal and take

0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:32.919
<v Speaker 1>note of those fears. What has society diet culture, What

0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:35.600
<v Speaker 1>are the messages that you have been receiving, and what

0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:39.520
<v Speaker 1>fears do you have around food? And become curious about

0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:42.400
<v Speaker 1>the feelings that come up with those fears around food

0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:45.960
<v Speaker 1>and your body and sit with them. For me, personally,

0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:49.039
<v Speaker 1>every time I choose to sit with my feelings rather

0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:52.960
<v Speaker 1>than suppress them, which I mean, my eating disorder was

0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:57.320
<v Speaker 1>a lot of suppressing and numbing my feelings. But when

0:05:57.360 --> 0:06:00.960
<v Speaker 1>I sit with my feelings rather than suppressed them, I

0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:04.279
<v Speaker 1>loosen their grip on me. And that would be my

0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:06.960
<v Speaker 1>hope for you. And journaling has been a powerful tool

0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:11.920
<v Speaker 1>for me in processing feelings and fears. So maybe give

0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:14.799
<v Speaker 1>it a try today, just for a few minutes. Set

0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:17.600
<v Speaker 1>a timer for three minutes in journal what it would

0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:21.920
<v Speaker 1>look like to have a drama free relationship with food

0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:25.719
<v Speaker 1>after you make note of some of those fears from

0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:28.200
<v Speaker 1>diet culture and all the space it's taken up in

0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:30.440
<v Speaker 1>your brain right now, and what it would look like

0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:35.080
<v Speaker 1>to have a drama free relationship with food. What would

0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:37.520
<v Speaker 1>you do with all the brain space that you would

0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:41.760
<v Speaker 1>get back if you stopped obsessing about it? It lived

0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:44.320
<v Speaker 1>rent free in my brain for years and years and years.

0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:47.040
<v Speaker 1>It is all I thought about when I went to sleep,

0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:48.880
<v Speaker 1>when I woke up, when I was out to eat

0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:52.760
<v Speaker 1>with people, when I was working. Yeah, it was all

0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:54.919
<v Speaker 1>the time. And if it wasn't about food, it was

0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:57.280
<v Speaker 1>when I'm going to work out. So maybe some of

0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:02.240
<v Speaker 1>your thoughts more so or around the workouts or body

0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:05.279
<v Speaker 1>image things. My desire is for all of us to

0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:10.400
<v Speaker 1>feel more peaceful around food and our bodies. That's the goal.

0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:13.720
<v Speaker 1>That's why outweigh is here. A life without disordered eating.

0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:18.640
<v Speaker 1>Outweighs everything. And my desire is for us to all

0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:23.680
<v Speaker 1>feel that, truly feel that in our lives. Whatever age

0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:27.240
<v Speaker 1>you are, you can get there. If you're sixteen or

0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:31.679
<v Speaker 1>sixty six. There is room for recovery. There is hope,

0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:34.240
<v Speaker 1>and I want people to know that. And there's so

0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:38.600
<v Speaker 1>so many amazing resources out there. If you're you know,

0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:40.720
<v Speaker 1>thinking about your body. I know we were talking about

0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:43.440
<v Speaker 1>food and fears around food and journaling around that and

0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:46.040
<v Speaker 1>what it would look like. But is there an area

0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:49.160
<v Speaker 1>of your body that you pick apart? Can you start

0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:52.880
<v Speaker 1>to have a loving dialogue with it? Can you talk

0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:55.560
<v Speaker 1>to it? Can you look in the mirror and appreciate

0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:58.760
<v Speaker 1>what it does for you? And maybe right a think

0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:01.600
<v Speaker 1>you note to your body and all that it's been

0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:04.360
<v Speaker 1>able to do for you. Are you noticing that writing

0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:07.880
<v Speaker 1>is a theme. I've been writing a lot. Ali Fallon

0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:10.040
<v Speaker 1>is a friend of mine. She's an author and a writer.

0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:12.160
<v Speaker 1>But she was one of the leaders in a self

0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:15.000
<v Speaker 1>care workshop that I went to last Saturday, and it

0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:17.880
<v Speaker 1>was so so good. And when she was on stage,

0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:21.080
<v Speaker 1>she was talking about writing and how powerful it is,

0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:23.640
<v Speaker 1>and she's always been that. She wrote a book called

0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:26.440
<v Speaker 1>The Power of Writing It Down, and she said that

0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:30.840
<v Speaker 1>twenty minutes of writing for four days in a row

0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:35.480
<v Speaker 1>will give you six months of benefits. And in that moment,

0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:37.680
<v Speaker 1>I thought, well, that is doable, and I need six

0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:40.760
<v Speaker 1>months of benefits, like I want the benefits of my

0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:43.839
<v Speaker 1>journaling and my processing of my thoughts and putting pen

0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:49.040
<v Speaker 1>to paper on things. So that was on Saturday, So Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.

0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:51.240
<v Speaker 1>For four days in a row, I journaled for twenty

0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:56.360
<v Speaker 1>minutes and it was amazing. I feel as though on

0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:59.959
<v Speaker 1>day four my thoughts were flowing out so much more

0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:03.199
<v Speaker 1>freely than they were on day one. That twenty minutes

0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:06.920
<v Speaker 1>went by so fast, and I was processing in a

0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:09.360
<v Speaker 1>way that I hadn't processed before. I was using words

0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:11.719
<v Speaker 1>that even surprised me. I was like, oh, well, look

0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:13.880
<v Speaker 1>at that word that just popped into my head and

0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:15.840
<v Speaker 1>now I wrote it down and a look at that

0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:18.640
<v Speaker 1>thought that I just had. And what I'm excited to

0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:20.720
<v Speaker 1>also do is to take the time to go back

0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:24.800
<v Speaker 1>and read everything that I wrote during those twenty minutes

0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:27.320
<v Speaker 1>for four days, because I Honestly, right now, I can't

0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:29.320
<v Speaker 1>tell you what I wrote on Sunday. I don't remember.

0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:32.360
<v Speaker 1>That was day one and my writing was all over

0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:35.240
<v Speaker 1>the place. It wasn't just twenty minutes of a specific topic,

0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:37.320
<v Speaker 1>although you could do that. You could use a writing

0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:41.120
<v Speaker 1>prompt like the prompts that I gave earlier, which Ali

0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:43.840
<v Speaker 1>is big on that, so I know I mentioned earlier,

0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:46.840
<v Speaker 1>also setting a timer for three minutes, but hey, you

0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:51.560
<v Speaker 1>could take Ali's suggestion and try to do twenty minutes.

0:09:52.000 --> 0:09:54.800
<v Speaker 1>The first day, I was a little intimidated by it,

0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:57.360
<v Speaker 1>but like I said, it got easier and easier, and

0:09:57.480 --> 0:09:59.959
<v Speaker 1>maybe you check in with different parts of your body

0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:02.640
<v Speaker 1>and you start writing about your feelings around that, right

0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:05.559
<v Speaker 1>around your feelings about food. Choose an area of your

0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:09.520
<v Speaker 1>body that is holding tension. At the self care workup workshop,

0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:14.439
<v Speaker 1>excuse me, we also went through mindfulness movement and paying

0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:16.960
<v Speaker 1>attention to your body and where things are showing up.

0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:20.960
<v Speaker 1>So can you breathe right now and just feel anywhere

0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:24.400
<v Speaker 1>that your body is holding tension and you can also

0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:27.440
<v Speaker 1>start to have a loving dialogue with that part of

0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:31.280
<v Speaker 1>the body. Sometimes my throat holds it, and my therapist

0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:32.959
<v Speaker 1>always has me to put my hand on my throat

0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:38.160
<v Speaker 1>and breathe through it and have loving dialogue with my voice,

0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:44.040
<v Speaker 1>because what we have determined is that at times I

0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:47.240
<v Speaker 1>may struggle with using my voice or feeling I can

0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:53.560
<v Speaker 1>really express what I'm thinking, and also listening to myself

0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:57.560
<v Speaker 1>and knowing that I can trust myself. That's huge. Something

0:10:57.600 --> 0:11:00.640
<v Speaker 1>I've been working through is paying attention to my body

0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:03.840
<v Speaker 1>and knowing, oh, I don't have to over explain this

0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:07.320
<v Speaker 1>to anyone because I know this to be my truth

0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:10.880
<v Speaker 1>and that is okay. Kind of just went off on

0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:14.520
<v Speaker 1>a little thing there, but it's paying attention to your body.

0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:19.000
<v Speaker 1>So whatever comes through for you, just pay attention to it,

0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:24.520
<v Speaker 1>do some breathwork around it, take a moment to look inward.

0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:29.040
<v Speaker 1>That's all I'm asking. Do some reflection, work through this stuff.

0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:33.400
<v Speaker 1>Write stuff down. If writing is intimidating for you, which

0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:36.280
<v Speaker 1>I get it. It was for me to one hundred

0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:38.920
<v Speaker 1>percent when I started a few years ago. But I

0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:41.160
<v Speaker 1>can't tell you how many experts of talk to me

0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:44.920
<v Speaker 1>about the power of writing it down. You know, earlier

0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:47.640
<v Speaker 1>I mentioned Kat's kneed a week episode from Monday, and

0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:49.320
<v Speaker 1>I also wanted to share that she put up a

0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:52.079
<v Speaker 1>couch Talks episode, which is her bonus episode that comes

0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:53.880
<v Speaker 1>out on Wednesdays, and it's a Kneed a Week Q

0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:58.719
<v Speaker 1>and A, and she addresses the following things. How can

0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:02.200
<v Speaker 1>I handle the ups and downs between good recovery days

0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:04.960
<v Speaker 1>and days I feel obsessed with food? How do I

0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:08.280
<v Speaker 1>express my concern to someone who I think might have

0:12:08.360 --> 0:12:11.440
<v Speaker 1>an eating disorder? And what is the difference between an

0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:15.920
<v Speaker 1>eating disorder and disorder eating? So again, just search Unique

0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:20.560
<v Speaker 1>Therapy Podcasts for those episodes and more awesome content from Kat.

0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:23.880
