173: You Are Not Broken

Thrive Beyond Size

Hello friends, welcome to another episode of Thrive Beyond Size. I’ve been going through a real transition period this Fall and it’s prompted me to continually remind myself “You’re not broken”. All the changes from dropping half my shifts at work to spend more time with my husband and clients and shifting my priorities on how I spend my time, all of the things I’m working on have made me more in tune with my body. But it’s also caused me to freak out sometimes. And when the stress freak-out happens, my relationship with my body tanks and I blame it for everything wrong. So I keep saying “You are not broken”. And that’s what we’re talking about today: that you are not broken.

If you have ever struggled with your relationship with food or your body, it’s not your fault. You are not broken. Your body is not broken. But I want to explore deeper and explain the biology of what happens when food restriction occurs. I want to talk about why the solution isn’t more restriction. I’m going to talk about how we were hard-wired to eat and how we eat now, what fasting does, why hunger ramps up, and how cravings work. We’re going to get into it all so that we can understand exactly what’s going on biologically when we’re stressed out and our bodies are stressed out. The pressures that lead us to binges aren’t a sign of us being broken. There are ways we can alter the biology, ways to reconnect with our bodies, and we’ll talk about those. But most importantly we will say, together, “You are not broken”.
