Summary: In this episode I have the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Nina Savelle-Rocklin is a psychoanalyst and licensed psychotherapist who specializes in helping people stop dieting and start living their best lives. Dr. Nina's blog Make Peace With Food was named a Best Eating Disorder Blog by Healthline and nominated as Best Health Blog in 2012. Dr, Nina also has a podcast, and you know how I love a good podcast. Her Podcast Win The Diet Wars is on my must listen list. Hi everyone, I'm back.  I know you think I have been on vacation. But that's not true.  I have been working on episode 17 for 4 weeks.  In fact I have recorded 5 episodes.  But I didn't release them because after listening to them they didn't make sense.  There was something off. Things were going well, I was cruising on the Leanness University's Lifestyle 180 program.  I was doing great.  Then a series of life issues made the whole thing come off the tracks. I had 2 potential jobs fall through A relationship relapse, then collapse. There was a part of the Lifestyle 180 program that I deemed restrictive so I just shut down and quit. Yea it was a complete car wreck.  Then it hit me.  I don't know what to do with my feelings. My whole life when ever I had feelings I suppressed them. I suppressed them with food. Guys are not suppose to have feelings. We're tougher than that.  Feelings are for chicks! And when all those feelings started I had no Idea what to do and how to handle them.  I just wanted to eat.  So I thought, I must be a food addict.  There must be something in sugar and wheat that when I eat it, I can't stop eating it.  So I knew that's where I had to focus my efforts.  I was thinking about going to a 12 step program called food addicts anonymous.  I was researching how food addiction and binge eating were different if they were different at all.  The more I researched the more something just didn't feel right.
