(Relationship with food)
If you've struggled with your weight, you may be struggling with other things too, like your relationship with food and your relationship with yourself.
Feeling stuck?
If you aren't currently the healthiest and happiest version
of yourself, it can feel like you are carrying a huge burden around
with you. Your self esteem takes a hit and it's easy to feel hopeless
and overwhelmed and like something has stolen the joy out of your life.
Sadly, because most of us are familiar with the old energy
balance equation "energy in = energy out" or have been told by more than one health authority to "eat less and move more" in simple terms; most people trying to lose weight turn to a "diet".
It's no wonder that most people who have weight problems
have been on at least one unhealthy fad diet and most likely have tried a few things that didn't work. Unfortunately research shows us that a history of dieting, deprivation or over-restriction will only make weight control matters worse and can actually lead to weight gain.
That's why finding something that works and lasts in more important than ever.
Your Current Weight tells a story, it's part of your identity. It says
something about who you are, something about your past, something about
your present, the environment you live in and whether it is toxic or
nourishing, it gives clues about what's important to you and the hurts
you are holding onto... now.
Your relationship with food gives hints about some of the
coping mechanisms you have in place to soothe, protect, compensate for
or distract yourself from pain, dissatisfaction, boredom or feeling
unfulfilled, misunderstood or lonely. The best way to move forward with
yourself is with curiosity, kindness and acceptance...
So that's why I'm wondering, when you imagine the best version of yourself, do you imagine:
freedom from emotional eating, loving nutritious food, more confidence, being more comfortable in your skin, more adventures (feeling uncomfortable or insecure is no longer a reason to miss out), a sense of success and self assuredness (I can do anything), popularity (being so comfortable in your own skin that you become your own leader and an inspiration to others), more control (being able to say yes or no to yourself and others and make better decisions in line with your values), more choices (you suddenly realise you have more options than you ever knew existed), better health (you have more energy, vitality and hope of longevity than ever), a new identity (that you love)?
What if you could change your patterns, what if you could stop your "dieting|relapse" cycle in its tracks by getting to the bottom of what is
driving your behavior? What if you could start eating healthily again, and feel normal. What if you could heal your relationship with food and eating didn't scare you? What if you could eat for the right reasons ... what if you could feel hungry and full again... and you learnt to listen to your body?
Imagine what it would be like to heal your relationship with food, eat to nourish, recover your self esteem, feel more powerful and in control of and love with yourself.
