    #185: how someone with a healthy relationship with food handles holiday eating

    How does someone with a genuinely healthy relationship with food eat over the holidays—without obsessing, “saving up,” or spiraling afterward?

    #183: what I'll be doing post partum instead of trying to 'bounce back'

    In this solo episode, I share why I’m not planning to “bounce back” after birth and what I’ll focus on instead: caring for my baby, caring for my body, and letting my recovery unfold with respect, flexibility, and support. We’ll talk about: How bounce-back culture fuels body checking, comparison, and self-objectification What positive body image actually means (it isn’t “loving how you look”) and why it supports healthier eating and movement Embodiment as a practical skill set for pregnancy and postpartum The mindset I’m taking into postpartum: nourishment, movement as possible, and honest communication about needs How I prepared during pregnancy: flexible training, regular eating that includes convenience and pleasure, breathwork/deep core work, and proactive conversations with my partner If you’re pregnant, postpartum, or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a grounded alternative to appearance-focused goals and a permission-based way to recover.

    #181: trying to control your sugar intake? here's what you need to do differently (Part 1)

    Part one of two Have you ever sworn off sugar, only to end up eating more of it once it was “off-limits”? In this first official episode of Trust Yourself with Food, Gillian unpacks why common strategies for controlling sugar - like cutting it out completely, keeping it out of the house, or using rigid food rules....tend to backfire. This conversation is NOT about fear mongering sugar or telling you how much you should be eating- it's about the psychology of scarcity, all-or-nothing thinking, and how hidden weight-loss pressures often drive our desire to quit sugar. You’ll leave this episode with practical reflection prompts to help you decide what a reasonable sugar intake looks like for your life... without rules, guilt, or constant mental chatter. What you’ll learn in this episode: Why past sugar-control attempts haven’t worked long-term How scarcity and “screw it” thinking fuel cravings and overeating The link between sugar restriction and hidden weight-loss goals 3 reflection prompts to reset your relationship with sweets 🎁 Free Self-Trust Starter Kit: https://bitesize.kit.com/selftrust🧠 1:1 Coaching with Gillian: https://bitesize.es/coaching-2/ Send me a DM on Instagram and let me know how you liked this episode: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/bitesizenutri⁠⁠
