Welcome to Episode 65 where we start to uncover the connection between self-worth, self-esteem and recovery. There are many closely related “self-” words including self-worth, self-esteem, self-respect, self-value, but two appear to mean virtually the same thing: self-worth and self-esteem. So, what exactly then is the difference between the two? Let’s break it down and then understand more about feelings of self-worth and self-esteem, including how they can help you live a happy and fulfilling life.

Something happened in the culture zeitgeist recently that Paige and Jamie felt compelled to address.  Oprah Winfrey aired a “special” titled, “Shame, Blame and the Weight Loss Revolution”. Her premise to invite viewers in was built around reducing shame and blame for those struggling with obesity. We agree that no blame or shame should ever be levied on those of us who struggle with food obsession, addiction or abuse. It truly is not our fault because we all are inundated by the environment of over-stimulating, hyper-palatable ultra-processed foods. And what seals the fate for most of us are the other lifestyle choices we make on top of the food. 
 
Unfortunately, though, Oprah and her team did not ever discuss these factors. They simply stated that Obesity is now a disease and implied that its best treatments must include medical and surgical intervention. No talk of food or our hyper-palatable food environment was ever made! We believe that true healing from the effects of the food environment we live in can only come from addressing the root cause, and focusing on skills to deal with the triggers in our environment.  Listen in as we present and dissect the whole story behind this uber-anticipated and controversial primetime special.

Today we are discussing a topic that you might be surprised by: Self-Pity. Did you know that Self-pity is more than just an emotion…it actually acts like a poison and is directly tied to the use of processed foods? Self-pity creates a cascade of neurotransmitters and hormones in our body that can become as addictive as some narcotics! It acts like a drug, giving us the momentary pleasure of victimhood. But, ultimately, it becomes a dysfunctional and harmful way of developing emotional bonds with ourselves and others. And, what’s even worse, it can separate us from reality.
