Show Notes: 

One of the biggest reasons the current diet culture doesn't work longterm is that fad diets don't address your ability to manage emotions. 

Your ability to sit in discomfort or uncomfortable emotions is a SUPERPOWER.

Learn to ride the waves of discomfort versus escaping with sugar, food, or other numbing agent. 

Learn to befriend your inner critic(s) and nurture your inner child(ren) 

When you're hit with an impulse to escape/numb/feel better: 

• Pause
• Breathe 
• Relax Your Body 
• Check in + Compassion for self
