I Don't Obsess Over Food... I Obsess Over Eating

What if your relationship with food isn't really about the food?

In this episode of Big Man Big Problems, Julio sits down with Yvette and shares a realization that hit him during therapy: he doesn't think he's ever unintentionally eaten anything in his life. He thinks about the meal, the preparation, how he's going to eat it, even the plate and utensils.

And that led to an even bigger realization, he doesn't obsess over food. He obsesses over eating.

Julio and Yvette unpack what intentional eating looks like, where it can actually be helpful, where it becomes exhausting, and why telling someone in a bigger body to simply think of "food as fuel" misses a much bigger conversation.

Because food can be fuel. It can also be something you genuinely enjoy. Both can be true.

Ultimately, this episode comes back to one word, awareness. Understanding how you eat, why you eat, and what food means to you might be more useful than blindly following another set of diet rules.

Watch the full episode and tell us in the comments, are you an intentional eater, or have you never really thought about it?
