Are you Anti-compassion, Anti-Praise, or...

Georgie Fear and the Confident Eaters Team
About this episode

This is our 100th episode of the Breaking up With Binge Eating Podcast! Thank you, listeners, for the love and support of this podcast. We are glad you are here and thankful to be a small part of your healing journey to food freedom.

Does encouraging yourself feel weird? If so, then this episode is for you. In fact, the "weirder" it feels to give yourself praise and encouragement, the more you probably need to do it. 

As coaches at Confident Eaters, Maryclaire, Christina, and I have noticed many people express what we'd call anti compassion, anti praise, and anti encouragement. Some of the people we work with aren't just low on expressing compassion, praise, and encouragement, they're actively against it. 

Join Georgie as she explains some of the most important work we get to to with clients. We love getting to help people morph out of these unhelpful thinking patterns and begin to learn to be nicer to themselves, try to encourage themselves rather than put themselves down, and begin to use positive reinforcement like a powerful tool which keeps them going. 

These three elements can help you to become more confident and feel more positive emotions around the healthy behaviors you have spent much of your life trying to establish. If you need support unraveling any of your barriers against health, fitness, or weight loss, send us a message at confidenteaters.com.
