In this episode I talk about the reasons for over-desire that create overeating. The three reasons for over-desire are: Neurotransmitters are programmed to desire anything that gives up a subtle, let alone dopamine, response. We are all being marketed to by food experts all day, every day. Recommended book: Salt Sugar Fat by Michael Moss. We don’t know how to manage our emotions, so we desire food as an escape. I talk about food science and marketing and, without us being conscious of it, they know how to control OUR brains. Learning consciousness around this is a game changer and can reduce your overeating.

Losing weight is more than just appearance. Once you decide to improve your eating habits, you also become more mindful of your other actions and more present to the people around you.

Here is her letter: I have struggled with weight my entire life (well, since I was 12). I am an over achiever. That means I do really really great losing weight, and I do EVEN BETTER putting it right back on. I’ve refused to diet for the last 6-7 years because I felt as if each rebound became progressively worse. So I decided to stop until I could find something that came naturally and wasn’t forced.
