Mordechai Wiener: Life-changing Conversations about Weight Loss and Self Love

Episode Summary

In this episode, Ilana and Mordechai discuss intuitive eating and how understanding your emotions can help manage your cravings and help avoid negative self-feelings. They delve into their own emotions and go on a journey of understanding what shapes their reactions. 

Highlights

  • Ilana believes that mindfulness is critical to understanding the difference between a craving and a need.
  • Sometimes submitting to a craving is not about the food. It’s about the act of numbing an emotion.
  • If you dig deep enough into why an emotion exists, you will sometimes find that it is because of something that will never happen or that it is just a story that you are telling yourself.
  • If you allow yourself to feel, then you can learn to process the feelings and understand how to manage your emotions better.
  • Most people are not eating things that look like products from the earth.
  • There can be some negative social interactions when you are making healthy choices and others see it as different or lacking fun. 
  • Trying to eat healthily can make it difficult to socialize since food is such a cultural staple.
  • There are other ways to connect with people than food.
  • Constant consumption of perfection on social media and commercials is a reminder that we are not good enough.
  • Meditation can be helpful. You can find the time. Nothing says that you have to meditate for a specific time.
  • Breakaway from screens and go out into the world and move and find a way to experience the earth.
  • Going after a goal with too much rigor can cause you to fail. Find ways to make it fun and start simple.
  • Start with self-love and acceptance. Then take the next step.
