Summary

Noelle, 58, recently lost her mother after a three year journey being her primary caregiver. During that time, Noelle started binge eating to deal with her emotions and ended up gaining about 30 pounds. Heartbroken over her mother, Noelle is beginning to realize the impact of her grief on her patterns with food, and would like to somehow let go of the unwanted eating habits she developed over the past few years.

As you'll hear in this episode of The Psychology of Eating Podcast, Noelle's response to the unrelenting grief she's been experiencing is very common. So many of us turn to food when we've experienced loss. While it's normal and natural to regulate our emotions with food, we know it's ultimately not the healthiest response. 

As this session highlights, part of the solution to what we might call "grief eating" is having empathy and compassion for ourselves. As Marc shares – when we bring self-love to the table, we take the first step to unwinding our eating challenges. 

So be sure to tune into this moving episode where we take a special look at the relationship between food, grief, and life.

into a happier, healthier life.

0:18.4

of Eating, Mark David. Welcome, everybody. I'm Mark David,

0:25.5

founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating. We're in the Psychology of Eating podcast.

0:31.1

I'm with Noelle today. Welcome, Noelle. Thank you. I'm glad to hear. It's great to be here.

0:38.2

Oh, good, good, good.

0:39.9

You know, for those of you who are new to the podcast, I haven't met Noel before,

0:44.3

and we're going to have one session and try to do some good work around food and body.

0:50.3

So, Noel, if you could wave your magic wand and get whatever you wanted with food and body,

0:55.6

what would that be for you?

0:57.5

It would be to eat sensibly, not binge, to be able to eat a variety of food and have my body

1:06.9

respond well without binging.

1:09.6

Got it.

1:10.4

So this thing about binging, how, how long has it been a

1:15.6

concern for you? Well, you know, it's been on and off during different periods of my life,

1:22.3

but it's been a bigger concern in the last few years.

1:33.7

One of the things that I've had going on for me since I was 22 years old is food sensitivities.

1:47.6

And there would be long stretches where I would be literally perfect because I would have to be, because I would be in so much pain if I ate foods that were not within,

1:53.5

I had certain foods that I could eat and feel well and other ones that I couldn't.

1:56.3

And so I've done a lot of healing.

2:01.0

And now I'm able to tolerate way more foods. But after all those years of deprivation, I feel like I'm out here and I can eat stuff and I can't control myself and I don't know what to do about it.
