128: Diet Mentality Ick - A Rant

Too Much on Her Plate with Dr. Melissa McCreery

Whether you choose to or not, it’s difficult to be a woman and not be continually exposed to the assumptions and stresses of diet mentality and deprivation thinking. Recently I experienced a few instances when I was surprised by diet thinking and beliefs and the stress that goes along with them. These experiences, that I’ll share with you, definitely highlight the difference between pursuing freedom from overeating vs. working to get “in control” of it. This episode also covers the difference between advice and support and the way that requests for support might be eliciting the opposite of what you need to end struggles with overeating.

In this episode:

• Going out to lunch with someone - and the stories they were telling themselves about me
• When weight loss “support” completely misses the mark
• Advice vs. support
• The role of compassion in healing that so many experts miss
