In this week's Sober on Purpose Podcast, I'll discuss how Dr. Livingston's Never Binge Again (Part 2) program helped me understand what my body is asking and not just eat in response to positive and negative emotions.

Wisdom words

“This is not a diet, this is a lifestyle and a shift for how you want to think about yourself and food.”

 

“The emotions are like a roaring fire, and you could have a roaring fire in the living room which should be an asset and not a liability if it’s well-contained with the fireplace.”

 

“If you have a craving and you indulge that craving, the craving’s gonna be stronger tomorrow. If you have a thought and you reward that thought with sugar, that thought will be stronger tomorrow also.”
