Hi Everyone,
Does this picture look delicious, comforting, greedy or dangerous to you?
Or does it do absolutely nothing for you?
Your answer to those questions will help me assess your relationship to food.
Understanding our relationship to food and addressing our weight issues, is such a simple equation- eat less, exercise more, right?
If being slim was that easy, why is the global weight loss industry, according to the Global Wellness Institute, worth between $574 and $647 billion US Dollars?
The truth is that it’s not just about what you eat or how active you are. For most of us, food represents so much more. It has become an emotional crutch, an anti-depressant, a social lubricant, a friend and a drug. When it comes to our relationship with food, there are many layers of dependency, many habits and many coping mechanisms that we need to release before we can create a right relationship with food and our bodies.
When I work with clients on Conscious Weight Loss, the first thing I have to do, is diagnose whether they are a:
Normal Eater;
Dysfunctional Eater; or
Food Addict.
Once I diagnose, I can then recommend the appropriate treatment. This step is vital and usually, if not always, missing in the weight loss industry. This leaves most people, who have weight issues, feeling terrible about themselves, when the real problem was that they were either misdiagnosed or not diagnosed at all.
If you have found success in other areas of your life and have struggled in this one, please don’t judge yourself harshly – you may have underlying issues blocking your success. This is my area of expertise, I’ve lived it and I’ve trained in it. I know this really is a difficult area for many of us and we need support and guidance, not just diet programs.
