11- Control (Part 2)

Stefani Reinold, MD, MPH, Board Certified Psychiatrist
About this episode

We don't develop eating disorders or start dieting for the sole purpose of losing weight or getting thinner. Sure, the thoughts may start there, but we go down the disordered and dysfunctional rabbit hole because of one thing... Control! We are all closet control freaks and I'm not exception. I struggle with this just like you! 

In this ep, I want to share:

5 Things You Can Control If You Can't or Don't Want to Control Your Food...

In this ep, you'll also hear:

  • How I redefine the word "control" to something more positive... and how it could help you be compassionate with yourself too!
  • Why dieting is truly a cry for more control in our lives
  • What your kids and family have to do with your control issues
  • How you CAN control your appearance
  • Why it's SO hard to change your thoughts
  • How to be healthier... if that's really what you want!
  • and more!
