Last week, the episode on grief was oddly perfectly timed with Thanksgiving. Ironically, the new one I just posted is also perfectly timed. It's an episode on binge eating....the day after Thanksgiving weekend. I swear I didn't plan it. I love serendipitous things like this. Makes me feel a certain way. It feels good. Like things are rolling as they should.

The new episode is a follow-up to Episode #018: Binge eating - the cycle of restricting, binging & shame. After the realization I came to in that episode, I practiced mindfulness around eating and paid attention to my other behaviors and habits (that I could notice) around food.

If you listen to the end of the new episode, I discuss the possibility of completing a radical sacrifice when it comes to food. I envision this sacrifice as a step that may propel me toward who I envision myself to be. What would life look like without constantly living for/chasing the cravings? What would my experiences look like? How much space would I clear up in my mind for other things? Who would I be? What would I do? What would I create?

Real-time update: I'm partaking in the above-mentioned sacrifice as I type this out (4 days in). I will probably follow up with another episode debriefing how I feel in about 4-5 weeks (or later, depending on how many episodes I record before then). Stay tuned!
