Let’s begin.

So really, why do people come to nutrition therapy?  Many people come because they want to be free from feeling out of control around their food and hope they won’t have to gain weight and some have a goal to lose weight.

Recovery from years of dieting and eating disorders starts with taking a risk.  Once we realize that controlling the food (whether literally or having a good/bad food belief system) is the very thing causing so much suffering, we must let go, even a little, to the “weighing less agenda”.  It’s not to say that some people, once they weight stabilize, won’t weigh less after the body has recovered from restricting/dieting or binging. 

Even if you still have weight-loss wishes, it’s okay.  As long as you are willing to get yourself re-nourished and have a bit of flexibility with your weight, you will have taken a huge step forward.

Tweetable:  To fully recover from eating disorders, emotional eating and chronic dieting, we must release the weight-loss agenda to heal

I want to hear from you.  If you are just starting out with changing your relationship with food and weight, what risks do you need to take in terms of fears about weight changes If you have been on your journey a while, please share what risks you took and how’s it going?

You are more powerful than you know.

Much love, Tracy
