“If I only could have a normal relationship to food!”
How many times have you caught yourself saying this after spooning heaps of peanut butter straight from the jar minutes after dusting off that brand new bag of organic granola that was suppose to last the whole week?
The numbers (calories, grams of fat, grocery bills) are enough to make your head spin. But you know, nothing sits as hard as the shame of another broken promise.
If you’ve been following all the diet rules year after year and feel even more out of control and stressed around food and your body size, you know how frustrating it is.
Despite your best efforts, it just seems to be a never-ending struggle…
What’s the deal?
You watch other people have a normal relationship to food…like eat at restaurants without obsessing over the bread basket the whole time or simply eat a cookie (or two) without summoning the binge beast. They have a relaxed state around food as if it’s not that big of a deal. At this point you’re probably wondering if that could ever happen to you.
It soooo can! Imagine if…
…You finally stopped eating frantically straight from the fridge, paranoid someone is going to catch you any second.
…You no longer felt like you’re constantly letting yourself down and disappointing others with the secrets and lies.
…You stopped struggling with your weight going up and down like a teeter-totter (stability please!).
….You felt confident in your body and treated it like the sacred temple it was built to be.
Yes, you can have a normal relationship to food that fuels your mind, body and heart. Not to mention, the amount of mental space you’ll free up is HUGE. You’ll be able to create space for the things that truly make you happy and fulfilled like a loving relationship, a career your crazy passionate about, or actually following through on those big travel plans around the world. It’s not the number on the scale and food that’s holding you back…it’s your approach to them that is.
FoodBodyLove™ pulls together the knowledge and insights of the world’s best experts and activists into one powerful system of support and mentorship. I created FoodBodyLove™ to share the EXACT principles and strategies I used to face my food and body challenges head on like a warrior.
I haven’t always had the whole food and body thing mastered. In fact, over 11 years ago I wanted to die. No joke, I felt like the suffering would never end and no one would miss me when I was gone. Needless to say, I was in a super dark and hopeless place. Although I was a talented athlete and top of my college class, I felt alone, exhausted, and trapped by a vicious cycle of dieting and bingeing. No matter how hard I tried, I felt like a failure. One thing I’m eternally grateful for is….I didn’t give up on myself because deep down in my heart I knew that there was more to life…that I had more to offer life.
At this point I’d tried all the diets and cleanses — read all the magazines promising magical meal plans and workouts — and thought that maybe, just maybe I was wasting my time on methods that didn’t work.
I decided to try out a new approach I weaved together from the advice of experienced mentors and treatment professionals. And month by month, things changed.
Year by year, things REALLY changed. Now over a decade later, I’ve never felt better about my body and who I am. I effortlessly maintain my weight and no longer feel held back at all in this area of my life. I exercise because I want to, not because I have to and feel stronger than ever. Foods I use to binge on without fail like cereal and granola can sit around my house for weeks without being finished. This would have sounded surreal over a decade ago, but it’s so real. Food is no longer a big deal.
Here are a couple reasons why changing your relationship to food and body should be your top priority:
1. You’ve lost way too many years of your life already being at war with your body and confused over having a conflicted love hate relationship with food. Frustrating = Understatement. (And how exciting to know that with the right mindset shifts, you could be on your way to ridding yourself from the binge beast for good).
2. Straight up, there are reasons why your relationship to food is so chaotic and stressful. No diet will ever solve these underlying issues and it is your responsibility to do the “real” work that leads to real results.
But with the knowledge of what to focus on and what to steer clear of you can start to make decisions that are in alignment with where you want to be. So, even if someone close says a completely hurtful and totally unnecessary remark, you won’t find yourself reaching to food.
No, there isn’t a “magic pill” you can take that will give you results overnight (that ole 1 pound/week x 10 weeks crap math has gotta go). BUT getting to where you want to be is easier than you’d think and literally ANYONE can do it. It’s a marathon, not a sprint.
