122 - Managing Emotions without Food and Body Acceptance: Al’s Story

The Power in Motion Podcast

In this episode, our guest Al, a woman I’ve had the pleasure of coaching 1:1 for the past 6 months, shares her personal journey of overcoming lifelong yo-yo dieting using exercise as punishment.

Growing up in a household where dieting was normalized, Al details how she grew up believing that she could not trust herself to make good choices about food and movement, causing her to look for external validation by using tracking apps but never feeling like she was getting it “right”.

After seeking one-on-one coaching, her perspective on food, body image, and self-worth shifted dramatically, as she built up trust in her ability to care for herself.

Throughout the conversation, Al recounts specific moments of learning to navigate emotions without turning to food, developing healthier habits, and ultimately finding freedom from tracking food and movement.

Notably, she discusses how these personal changes have also positively influenced her parenting, enabling her to pass down healthier emotional and eating practices to her children.

Our conversation delves into the challenges and breakthroughs Al experienced, illustrating the profound impact of emotional work and body acceptance on her life and the lives of those around her.
