Show Notes

Key Points:

• Who is a normal eater? Especially these days, our culture’s typical normal eating is disordered, rigid, and pathological. There is a way through!
• It is normal to emotionally eat sometimes. Unless you are a robot.
• Sometimes it hurts more than helps and it’s a great first step when recognize this.
• Want normal eating = want peacefulness
• Tracy Brown RD uses her experiences on farm to the rewiring brain process:
  • Dad never mowed shoulder-high pasture around pond.
  • A faint path would go down when drove over it and it would be tough to go over.
  • Becomes path of least resistance over time and easier.
  • Food behaviors can become path of least resistance.
  • What if made new path?? Will feel foreign or illegal at first yet over time you will get the hang of it.
  • Be sure to pause to help you recognize what’s going on.
• Create a pause to create something new. This is the first step!
• Progress comes from permission and the pause.
• I feel fat may = I feel uncomfortable.
• Making new pathways is messy and honor the old path’s functionality.
• Get to the story of what makes it uncomfortable. What else could you be hungry for?
• Doing this work will make your eating normal in your definition yet abnormal within our current eating culture.
