Today is episode 150 of The Diet Diaries. Seems like an important milestone but I honestly didn’t realize it until I was recording!

One of the MOST common fears I hear from people around food is the “I can’t have that in the house” story. So with Halloween and the holidays coming up, we needed an episode to address how to stop feeling controlled by food.

And how do you do that? By giving yourself unconditional permission to eat what you want.

I think that statement strikes fear into the heart of a lot of people—fear of binging, of feeling out of control, of not being able to stop, of gaining weight.

I get it. 10000%.

That’s why I did today’s episode. To address all of those fears and why they are valid. And also to talk through what unconditional permission means (it’s not what you think) and the skills to take action on it.

Here are some of the skills I talk through in today’s episode:

—Why unconditional permission is the only way to feel at ease around food
—Guidelines for how to eat foods that make you feel stressed
—The challenge with hyperpalatable foods and how to include them in your day to day diet stress free
—Exactly how to stop feeling like you “can’t have that in the house”

This blog post offers more skills for how to get started with binge eating recovery. And episodes 126 and 144 of The Diet Diaries dive into the all or nothing thinking we have around food and how that impacts binge eating recovery as well.
