Ep 17 - Are you killing yourself with food?

Ofentse Tsipa

I know this is a heavy title, but hear me out...

In the upcoming episode of the Perfectionism Podcast, we're diving straight into the heart of a matter that affects many of us: "Are You Killing Yourself with Food?" It's a conversation that's raw, honest, and undeniably important.

When I see someone carrying extra weight, my heart swells with empathy. Why? Because I've walked that path too. It's a journey laden with pain, unprocessed emotions, and a desire for change.

But let's talk about the elephant in the room. Are the foods we're consuming slowly taking a toll on our well-being? Think about it – the sugar that has us trapped, the overly processed flour that lacks nourishment, those deep-fried indulgences, and even alcohol.

There's a deeper layer here: using food to mask feelings we're not willing to confront. It's a pattern many of us recognize – eating our emotions instead of facing them head-on. But here's the thing, this behavior often leaves us consuming 'nonsense' in an attempt to silence the chaos within.

Join me as we unpack these thought-provoking ideas and discuss the root cause of weight gain. Let's explore the link between our food choices and our emotional landscape. We'll also address the resistance that comes with changing our identity – a crucial part of the transformation journey.

This isn't about judgment or finger-pointing. It's about understanding, compassion, and finding a way to break free from harmful cycles. Together, we'll navigate these complex waters and shed light on the path to a healthier relationship with both food and ourselves.

Tune in to the upcoming episode – it's a conversation you won't want to miss. Remember, change starts with awareness and a willingness to embark on a journey of growth. Let's take the first step together.

Stay tuned for an episode that might just reshape the way you think about food and self-care.
