"You eat when you're hungry not when you're happy, mad, sad, angry."
In this episode of 'Sober on Purpose', Tanya Gioia and Jerry dive into the fascinating world of willpower and self-control with Dr. Glenn Livingston, a clinical psychologist renowned for his 'Never Binge Again' programme. Dr. Livingston shares how understanding the emotional triggers behind binge eating can help individuals break free from unhealthy habits.
He explains the concept of the 'inner pig', a metaphorical creature that represents impulsive eating behaviours, and how recognising its presence can empower you to make healthier choices. With anecdotes from his own life, Dr. Livingston highlights the importance of setting simple, achievable rules to regain control over eating habits. The discussion isn't just about food—it's about taking charge of your life and making conscious decisions that lead to a healthier, happier existence.
You'll learn why it's crucial to distinguish between hunger and emotional cravings, and how self-awareness can be your best ally in the journey to sobriety. So, whether you're battling chocolate cravings or trying to stay on track with your diet, this episode offers valuable insights into mastering self-control and living a purposeful sober life. Are you ready to tame your inner pig and embrace a healthier lifestyle?
