Friends,
It is totally understandable feeling lost when you are wanting to end the looping of joining one more program to “fix” your body and eating but don’t know what else to do.
“Programs” have been the only offered choice for decades when you don’t feel comfortable in your own skin, don’t know what to do to stop restricting and binging, don’t know how to eat supportively for a health condition without turning it into another diet or how to stop the judgment towards yourself or others regarding health, etc….
Here is another option.
Learn how to slow down, see if your emotions and beliefs about food and weight are congruent to your NOW time self’s values and become a compassionate witness to the function of:
Restricting
Binging
Over or under moving
Believing you are a better person if you are thin/healthy/given compliments, etc
Agreeing with thoughts:
— that your body is bad
—- that you must avoid rejection at all costs
—- that you will never get freedom from all of this
—- that the world needs to change so you can feel safer to recover
—- that a quick fix is the only way to deal with the pain and frustration of not being seen or cared for correctly
All of the above will hijack your efforts towards freedom because the internal chaos distracts us from consistent, simple actions that improve health.
I know this is deep stuff but these and hundreds of other thoughts, beliefs and behaviors put barriers in between people and their health goals and the peace they want with food and body.
We think the body and health will make everything inside go away. That’s why we reach for programs and quick fixes.
But this note to you is to make sure you know you have other options if your insides are screaming for something lasting that makes space and time to tend to the body so that supportive eating and self-care doesn’t feel like a burden.
We keep the deep simple.
Reach out if you want to go at the pace necessary to get somewhere.
