Summary

In this episode, Marc David, founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating, speaks with 38-year-old Juliana who has faced challenges around body weight and image since she was mocked for being a "chubby" kid. Originally from Brazil, Juliana now lives in Bonn Germany, where she finds the cultural attitudes on weight and body image are significantly different.

Despite there being a decidedly less stringent idea of beauty in Germany, Juliana is finding it hard to let go of beauty concepts she grew up with in Brazil. She often worries about food and whether she's getting the whole experience of eating "right" - whether that's eating the "right" foods or eating the "right" amount of calories each day.

Marc coaches Juliana and the rest of us trying to lose weight to see that, while weight loss is a fine goal for many, it becomes problematic when it becomes paramount to everything else in our life. When weight loss is more important than almost anything else, it's very likely we hold the toxic nutritional belief that we'll be happier when we're thinner.

In their conversation, Marc speaks to this rampant belief, why it causes so many of us to suffer unnecessarily, and how to begin to forge a new path.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Psychology of Eating podcast, where food and body challenges are the doorway into a happier, healthier life.
0:11.4	Now, here's your host, eating psychology expert and founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating, Mark David.
0:23.8	Welcome, everybody. I'm Mark David, founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating.
0:28.7	Here we are in the Psychology of Eating podcast, and I'm with Juliana today. Welcome,
0:33.5	Juliana. Thank you. Thanks for having me. I'm glad we're here. Where are you geographically or where are you from?
0:40.3	I'm from Brazil originally, but I'm now in Germany in the city of Bonn, the former capital
0:46.3	of Germany.
0:47.3	That must be a fascinating change.
0:50.3	It was, I can tell you.
0:53.3	Well, I'm glad we're doing this.
0:55.9	And one of my favorite questions to ask is if you can wave your magic wand and have
1:00.7	whatever you wanted with food and body, what would that be for you?
1:05.5	Peace of mind around food, be able to enjoy it without thinking about it.
1:11.3	So what does it look like or what does it look like when you don't have peace of mind around
1:17.2	food? How does that show up for you? It's like my everyday for many years. I wake up thinking
1:24.9	what I'm going to have for breakfast, if I should have breakfast or not.
1:28.8	Then I think about lunch, what I'm allowed or not allowed to eat,
1:32.6	and the same goes for every meal in the day.
1:35.9	And if I eat something that I consider not to be adequate enough,
1:39.6	then I have guilt around it, and then I plan the next day.
1:42.7	So it's a constant worry about what I should or not be eating and the consequences it has
