"I wanted it": All about managing desire

Georgie Fear and the Confident Eaters Team
About this episode

Some of the topics we discuss in this episode include: 

  • Why ignoring your wants causes problems 
  • Why you can feel like you really want a particular food, but then be unsatisfied once you have it
  • Why wanting something doesn't mean it's a good idea to eat it (or that it will make you happy) 
  • Why we are poor at predicting how it will feel to have (or not have) something we want
  • What to do when you want conflicting things at the same time
