Libby Crow: Why Emotional Eating isn't Bad, Working Out Without Sweating and Getting Naked

Episode 92: Libby Crow escaped after being trapped inside The Food and Fitness Frenzy Cycle [that's what Libby calls the cycle of dieting and exercising to lose or maintain weight to finally feel good about your body]. Now she creates programs and workshops to help women relax around food and love their bodies in the field of Eating Psychology. Libby believes in the marrying of physical, emotional, cerebral, and spiritual approaches to body love. She’s a scale smasher, a carrot cake connoisseur, and a dog mom living in sunny Santa Monica, California.Show notes:

  • How her father's passing brought about feelings of fear and the need to control

  • Her shower epiphany about her body shame (and also liberation)

  • How she copes with stress today (and yes, sometimes that includes food!)

  • Mindful Eating

  • Emotional eating is not bad. In fact, we are always emotionally eating!

  • How to escape the Food and Fitness Frenzy Cycle

  • Taking responsibility for how you see your body instead of just blaming the media

  • Why you should give up the "stop comparing yourself to others" goal

  • Why you don't need to sweat in order to have a "workout"

  • A challenge to skip the gym and instead just go outside!

  • Libby's experience with The Naked Truth

  • My podcast with Alexi Panos (found HERE)

  • How standing up in front of 30+ people absolutely naked showed Libby that she has more body love "work" to do

  • The definition of Whole Body Love

  • Her new program, A Greater Love, can be found HERE

  • (and then we go through the funniest quick fire round ever)
