Waking Up to a Balanced, Free and Joyful Relationship with Food - With Marie Steenberger

Do you ever get caught up in pain driven emotional eating? Or compulsive overeating? Or unwisely choosing what you eat even when you know better? It’s a rare person who answers no to all of these questions as struggling with food issues touches just about all of our lives.

Most people will overeat and regret it later. Some of us will do this often and be really hard on ourselves afterwards, beating ourselves up. But why do we do this even though we know better?

At times, our overeating is driven by an attempt to soothe or avoid pain or other feelings we don’t want to face; sometimes it serves to avoid situations we fear; and for a lot of people it’s a way to cope with overwhelm in our lives.

Whether we’re taken over by that strong pull toward eating for comfort, or betraying our promise to only eat “just one”, the result of these behaviors is most often feeling worse and worse about ourselves. And that usually drives us to eat even more — a very painful cycle.

In this tender and transformational evening with nutritionist and mentor Marie Steenberger and Bodhi Jeffreys, we’ll explore how to come back into a healthy, natural balance with food. We’ll discover ways in which we can free ourselves of the cycle of:

~~~ Eating or overeating to avoid pain and fear, which leads to…
~~~ Harsh self-judgement, which leads to more pain, resulting in…
~~~ More eating or overeating, which leads to…
~~~ Beating ourselves up and having lower self-esteem, a sense of helplessness, which impacts every area of our lives
