#199 Self Compassion (Don't Roll Your Ey...

Elena Kunicki
About this episode

DON’T SKIP THIS ONE!

 

I know self-compassion can seem woo-woo and spark a lot of eye-rolling from my high achieving, perfectionistic peeps but guess what…

 

…you need it the most.

 

Especially if you’re struggling with binge eating or constant anxiety around food and your weight.

 

Most issues with food go back to body image.

 

And most issues with body image go back to a lack of self-compassion.

 

Self-compassion is not about telling yourself lies about how beautiful and successful you are even when you don’t believe them.

 

It’s about having a HEALTHY vs TOXIC relationship with yourself.

 

It literally makes everything in your life better - from your mental and physical health outcomes, to your relationship with yourself, to your ability to reach health and fitness goals in sustainable and life-enhancing ways.

 

There’s tons of research to back it up.

 

I’m no expert on self-compassion, but it’s something I’ve studied a bit over my years as a disordered eating/eating disorders dietitian.

 

In this episode of The Binge Eating Dietitian podcast I share more about self-compassion, what it is, why it matters, and practical tips on how to grow this skill so you can have a better relationship with food, your body and exercise.

 

Enjoy and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
