You didn’t choose your first relationship with food. Someone handed it to you.

Maybe it was the comments about bodies at the dinner table. The ā€œgoodā€ foods and the ā€œbadā€ foods. The diet your mom was always starting Monday. The sense that you had to earn dessert, or earn your body, or earn the right to take up space.

You absorbed it before you could question it. That’s how this works. Kids don’t learn their relationship with food from what we say about food. They learn it from watching us live it.

Which is the hard part and also the most hopeful part.

Because if it gets passed down, it can also stop. No, not by being perfect around food in front of your kids. Or by saying the right things. But by actually doing your OWN work, so the thing they pick up from you is ā€œeaseā€ instead of fear.

The cycle truly stops with you. This might feel like a lot of pressure; or, you can feel revved by the power of it.

Keepin’ it PG šŸ˜‰

If you’re new here, hey I’m Marissa - been a dietitian for over 16 years in corporate wellness and now in private practice where I help people break out of binge-restrict cycles.

I work with athletes, parents, c-level executives... families - you name it.

I see the same language and pattern with food with folks who struggle with candy and treats, which is that you’ve been ā€œbad to the bone.ā€

And so it’s outta sight outta mind where you can’t do the dirty.

It’s scandalous! šŸ’‹ we even talk about it in those terms:

- irresistible
- cheating
- tempting
- can’t control myself

I want you to feel those things with your partner in your bedroom šŸ˜‰ not with a pack of gummies.

Let me know what you think in the comments ā¬‡ļø

šŸ“Œ Save this one the next time you eat objectively past the point of fullness and the spiral starts.

Quick thing I need to mention: this post is NOT permission to override hunger OR in any way relevant when you are trying to meet adequate nutrition needs.

For those who objectively overeat, binge and overconsume well past the point of fullness and/or use compensatory behaviors as mentioned in this side show, what I wish for you to take is that the discomfort after overeating is temporary.

Your body is remarkably good at metabolizing food. It’s ok it, already handling it, and the worst thing you can do is try to ā€œfixā€ it with compensatory behaviors.

If you do, this will keep you mired in the binge-restrict cycle, which is a painful place to be.

What can you do? Instead of skipping the next meal or punishing yourself at the gym, try the boring, gentle stuff.

Your body knows what to do:

• Wait it out. ā€œThis too shall pass.ā€
• Comfy clothes.
• Watch a show.
• Read.
• A walk (only if it actually feels good and not like penance).
• Text someone.
• Remind yourself ā€œI’m okay.ā€

P.S. this is education, never medical advice. This is not a substitute for individualized care.

If you’re in it with binge-restrict cycles, dis0rdered eating and ED, that’s the work I do with my clients and I can help you.

I’m licensed to see clients in Washington state, and select states based on licensure. I’m also in network with Aetna, Premera, Regence, Lifewise, and BCBS. DM me or tap the link in my bio to set up a consult.

Office hours are back šŸŽ‰

I’ve missed them. You’ve missed them. (I’m assuming. Tell me if I’m wrong).

This summer we’re zero’ing in on one of my specialties: bingeing and emotional eating.

Please know that my office hours are NOT recorded, ever.

Those on the call know that what comes to the zoom, stays on the zoom.

As always:

• You never need to share anything you don’t want to.
• You can come and listen, learn, ask questions.
• It’s very casual.
• As you may or may not know, if you stay silent, I become an entertainment show, and that’s great for everyone 🤪

If this interaction in your head feels familiar, even if not to this extreme, you’ve met your ego states.

This comes from a psychology framework called Transactional Analysis, the idea that we’re all moving between three internal voices all day.

Once you can hear them around food specifically, so much clicks into place.

The Parent = the rules. Every diet, every good food and bad food, every voice that’s ever told you what you should and shouldn’t be eating.

In intuitive eating we call this one the food police. It thinks it’s keeping you safe. Mostly it just turns meals into something you either win or lose.

The Child = what shows up in response to all that. Sometimes it’s the rebel who eats it in the car just because someone said no. Sometimes it’s the scared child who just wants to hide. Either way it’s arguing with the Parent, not actually checking in with your body.

And then there’s the Adult = the one we’re trying to grow. People think this is the logical voice that talks you out of what you want, but no, it’s the opposite. It’s the one that’s actually listening to your body:

• Are you hungry?
• What would genuinely feel good?
• What’s going to hold you till later?

The adult listens, without a lecture.

So much of a rough relationship with food is just the Parent and the Child going at it forever, rules then rebellion then more rules.

And you don’t heal this by picking a side. Instead, you grow the Adult, the one that doesn’t need the fight because it’s paying attention to your body instead of the rules.

As I tell my clients, you don’t get rid of any of these voices. They just get a lot softer the more you grow your inner adult.

Are you looking for an experienced dietitian who sees the nuance? Someone who gets that helpful food guidance and counseling isn’t enacting more rules, but helping you find the voice that’s actually listening to your body? That’s the work I do.

Is intuitive eating right for you? Well, it depends…

I know that’s not the answer you likely want. We’re conditioned to want a yes-or-no. With exact criteria.

But ā€œit dependsā€ IS the honest clinical answer, and the thing it depends on is YOU.

A few questions I’d actually ask if you were my client:

• Do you have reliable, consistent access to enough food?

• Can you feel hunger and fullness right now or have your appetite signals gone away / hard to read?

• Are you in a stable place with food and your body, or in the thick of restriction, an eating dis0rder, or a big life upheaval?

• Are you currently using food to cope with something, and is it the only tool you have for it right now?

• Is there a medical piece, certain conditions or medications, that are changing your hunger and fullness cues?

None of these are pass-or-fail. They just tell us where you’re starting from, and whether this is the right tool for right now (or whether something else needs to come first).

Save this if you’ve ever felt like you ā€œfailedā€ at intuitive eating. I’d put money on the fact that you didn’t. Just wrong place wrong time OR not aligned with your goals.

Watch the reel for the two reasons it usually doesn’t land for people, and why neither of them means you’ve done something wrong. šŸ‘†

I recently reached into my purse to grab my wallet and was met with an avalanche of crushed Goldfish crackers. And my first thought wasn’t actually embarrassment so much as solidarity… this isn’t a forever thing! I’m positive there will not be Goldfish lining the bottom of my bag and car seats when my kids are older. I mean…we can only hope 🤣

But when we call common snack foods, such as Goldfish, ā€œgarbage,ā€ ā€œjunk,ā€ ā€œbad,ā€ or ā€œfake,ā€ we’re teaching people, especially kids, to feel shame, fear, or distrust around eating.

Are Goldfish the most filling snack on their own? Usually no.

Can they be part of a satisfying snack? Absolutely.

Can they be helpful for athletes who need quick carbs? Yep.

Can they be an important safe food for someone with ARFID, sensory sensitivities, or a limited food variety? 100%.

Can parents serve them without guilt? Also yes.

Your goal isn’t to pretend every food does the same thing in the body. Because of course that’s not true.

However, all foods can serve a purpose. Food does not need to be ā€œcleanā€ to belong.

I’ll share more in my newest blog about how you can implement a better snack situation for you and/or your family.

You’ll get my favorite snack basket ideas (including Goldfish) and how they can be useful, enjoyable, and part of a normal dietary eating pattern.

I promise you won’t need to do anything Pinterest-worthy 🤣
