It’s definitely not only your body that changes following significant weight loss! In fact, most areas of your life are affected when you lose weight. Think about it… in addition to improvements in physical health, people who lose weight get out and participate in more of what life has to offer. They become more engaged in community activities, travel on trains, planes, and…a lot of cruise ships, attend concerts and go to amusement parks. Their relationships often change as well. This includes friendships, relationships with co-workers, immediate and extended family members, and often… with romantic partners. Reasons for changes in romantic relationships following weight loss are varied and will be discussed in this episode, along with how dating after weight loss is different than dating prior to weight loss. Be sure to listen to the anecdote about a post-op who decided to have a minimum of 50 first dates! Let’s get going!

In today’s episode, I’m talking about we start developing our relationship with food during our first days of life! By the time we’re three years old, our belief in our ability to trust ourselves has already begun. Trusting ourselves with food is an issue many people struggle with in their adult lives … do I really trust myself to make healthy choices most of the time? Do I trust myself to stop eating when I am satisfied? Do I trust myself to stick to my grocery list when I go to the store? Do I trust myself enough to have trigger foods in my house? Each stage of our development is critical in determining how we act as adults, not just with food but in our relationships with others and how we feel about ourselves. Today I’ll explain one prominent theory about social and emotional development and of course, will tie it all back into our relationship with food! Let’s go!

In today’s 200th episode, I pick up where we left off last week and clearly define and describe the remaining 8 principles of Intuitive Eating as outlined in the book Intuitive Eating: A Revolutionary Anti-Diet Approach, 4th edition, by Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch. Last week I spent a lot of time on the first two principles in great detail as they lay the foundation for the remaining principles. There is a lot of great information in this book and as I have said, I like the theory of Intuitive Eating and for those who have not had a surgical procedure to treat their obesity and for people who don’t have a complicated mess of a relationship with food … however few in number they may be… intuitive eating is a great way to have a healthy relationship with food! Listen in… take what you like – and leave the rest! Let’s get started!
