My most surprising moment occurred a few days ago in the library when a lady asked me, very specifically, “What does it mean when you crave chocolate?”
I was surprised because normally people don’t ask about my cravings. To make sure I heard her question right, I checked with her. Yes, she was asking about my cravings. Specifically, my cravings for chocolate.
“What does it mean when you crave chocolate?”
I knew the question represented something bigger. This woman wasn’t just asking about my thoughts about chocolate, she asking about her body.
She wasn’t sure she could trust her body. She was asking about feeling confused in her body and not knowing what to do.
Fortunately, I just interviewed Deborah from MyMindMyBody.net.
Deborah comes from the ‘Almost Anorexic’ side of things. Back years ago, Deborah wasn’t eating enough. She was controlling her emotions, in part, by controlling her food. If she ate less, she could give herself permission to feel better.
But deep down, Deborah knew her body was screaming for something different.
This is where Deborah’s book ‘The Beginning of the End of My Eating Disorder’ starts.
She details her journey from disorder eating to healing her emotional eating and making peace with food.
I have downloaded the book on Kindle and started reading it and it’s great! Her book is a collection of essays which makes things very personal and accessible. To get her book on Amazon, you can visit this affiliate link: https://amzn.to/2D7TxNL
Have you ever felt the same way, that your approach to ‘health’ is making your body scream?
If so, you are definitely going to want to contact Deborah, or at least check out her website, message and content. She has a ton of videos, ebooks, and blog articles on this topic! Plus, she’s from Silicon Valley!
I was so delighted to hear that she Silicon Valley nerd like me! I really enjoyed our interview together. Below is a snippet of our conversation along.
