Sneaky Celebrity Food Secrets And 3 Ways They Block Self-Trust

I remember watching an episode of Oprah that changed my relationship with food forever…

The Goop queen herself was promoting a new cookbook, teaching everyone how to make her world-famous healthy chocolate chip cookies.

I vividly remember GP explaining that “cookies are great! If you want a cookie EAT THEM!…just make them yourself so that you can cut out all of the toxic processed ingredients”.

My mind: “Got it. Homemade cookies = safe. Store-bought = bad.”

Here’s the thing though- I HATE baking.

And after hearing this comment, anytime I wanted a cookie, I’d feel guilty for not making them.

I was so scared about what would happen if I ate store-bought cookies & so pissed at myself for not baking them on my own that I’d usually say “screw it” & binge on an entire box of Newman O’s.

Truth: These sneaky little food rules are EVERYWHERE.

We hear casual diet messages like the cookie one from our favorite celebrities, tuck them away in our mind & wonder WHY we’re so stressed out about what we’re eating all of the time.

So here’s why celebrity food secrets are problematic:

1. They erode our natural ability to effortlessly listen & trust our body & strip away our natural ability to respond to our hunger & fullness cues.

2. They create ALL kinds of mental & emotional discomfort. Food guilt, shame & preoccupation is not uncommon.

3. They make the idea of satisfaction feel like something that we have to earn rather than enjoy with ease.

I know that making peace with food feels like an impossible task…

But I want you to know that eating with ease is not only possible, it’s your right.

I’ve created that freedom in my own life. Today I can finally eat cookies of any kind without bingeing, guilt, or stress.

Something that I NEVER thought I’d be able to say! A type of body trust that I can’t remember ever having.
