In this episode, Alana shares a personal story that answers one of the most common questions she gets from women in the Sober Eating community, "Can I ever actually enjoy food again?" She takes you through what eating while traveling used to look like for her: the pre-trip restriction, the vacation swings, the shame spirals, and the exhaustion of fighting with herself in places she had dreamed of visiting. And then she shares what her recent trip to Italy looked like instead.
This episode is for the woman who dreads vacation because of how much mental energy food takes. Who restricts before a trip to build a buffer. Who comes home from traveling feeling like she needs to reset and get back on track. Alana explains why freedom with food on vacation does not come from a better strategy at the table and what the deeper work actually looks like that makes any environment feel safe.
