“Do not starve yourself. You don't have to have huge meals, but just like eat breakfast or have a snack. And if you even hear the narrative of, I'm going to be eating a lot later, so I'm not going to eat now, that's where we want to create the disassociation. That's where you want to say, oh, that's silly. That actually doesn't work. And so if I'm hungry, I'll eat. And if I'm not, I won't. And even creating that awareness and that narrative around giving yourself the allowance to follow a hunger cue if you are hungry is actually going to take a lot of the pressure off.”
