She\u2019d like eating to be fun and lighthearted, and feel satiated after a great meal.  But her dreamy new relationship with food seems so very far away. Jill has an intense desire for food \u2013 so deep that it feels like her desire can never be quenched. No matter what or how much Jil eats, she doesn\u2019t really feel like she ever finds true pleasure and contentment with food. It just never feels like enough \u2013 and Jill has a lot of anxiety that she\u2019ll end up overeating and gaining weight in her pursuit of pleasure. Jill\u2019s experience is one that many of us can relate to.  We secretly \u2013 or not so secretly \u2013 love food. But we don\u2019t trust ourselves with it.  We\u2019re afraid of our own pleasure, and what it might mean if we actually allowed ourselves to fully enjoy food. In this episode, Marc David helps Jill and the rest of us understand why our desire for pleasure isn\u2019t something to be afraid of. Instead, Marc argues that our love of food and pleasure is something that should be fully owned and celebrated. When we honor pleasure, we not only enjoy life so much more \u2013 but often find that weight loss is ironically much easier and more sustainable.  Because when we own our love of food, we\u2019re in our power.  In this episode, you\u2019ll hear Marc share: \u2705 What trusting yourself with food actually requires. Hint: it\u2019s not having a perfect track record with food, or never making a mistake! \u2705 How to invoke your inner voice of wisdom when making food choices. \u2705 The connection between trust and relaxation. \u2705 How to honor our body\u2019s animal nature amidst the very unnatural modern times we live in. \u2705 How to eat from your body instead of your brain. \u2705 And much more! Pleasure is a beautiful aspect of being alive on this planet, but not very many of us have a healthy relationship with it. Instead of fighting desire, we can make it a powerful ally as we learn to live a radiant, embodied life.  So tune in to learn how to deepen your own relationship with food and pleasure! --------------- Learn more about us at The Institute for the Psychology of Eating: https:\/\/psychologyofeating.com\/  Ready to call a ceasefire in your battle with eating, and find peace and freedom with food?
