The Somatic Reasons It's Terrifying to Eat With Friends and Family

Happy Satiated Saturday! 

How do you feel about eating around others?

I remember in my years of struggling with food how scary it would feel to eat with others. There was a constant inner dialogue about eating the "right" things in the "right" amount. 

I would find myself consistently undereating when going out and then overeating or binge eating when I would get home, as I felt starving and dysregulated. 

Eating around other people can be filled with anxiety, overwhelm, and fear, where you may find yourself engaging in food behaviors afterward. 

If you grew up constantly criticized for your food choices, how much you ate, and your appearance, it can feel terrifying to eat around others.

In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat about: 

• Fear of Negative Evaluation (FNE)
• Why binge eating can increase after eating with others 
• Somatic practices to try before, during, and after eating with others
