“I ate way too much, I feel so fat” or “I shouldn't be eating this” are things we say more often than not when it comes to eating. But what are we trying to achieve when saying these things? Why do others need to know this? Are we looking for validation? For approval? For them to stop us from eating more? What are we looking for? There really is no point. All verbalizing these thoughts does is add to our toxic relationship with food. When we verbalize these thoughts about food, and our body when we eat food, we only trigger ourselves to fall deeper into a negative relationship with food. But, you also make others feel bad about their food choices, too. So that’s why in this episode of Embrace Your Real, I share food commentary you need to drop explain my reasoning as to why it’s toxic.
