I know, as a busy woman, you’re often pulled in many different directions; career, relationships, kids, school, your own self-care, etc., all require your time and attention. It’s hard to stay balanced. When stress becomes too great we look for comfort. When we look to food for comfort our relationship with ourselves and our bodies can become unbalanced. Fortunately, you can restore balance and live in harmony!
Do you feel out of out of control with food?
· Eating until stuffed most of the time
· Eating very fast and unable to slow down
· Can’t get your mind off of food
· Constantly grazing
Do you struggle with emotional eating?
· Eating/not eating whenever you feel bad
· Eating/not eating is your only coping skill
· Eating when you’re not hungry or fasting when you are and
you don’t know why
Feeling out of control with food is very tiring. It affects your relationships and can, in one out of control moment, erase any positive feelings, accomplishments, and pride you have in yourself.
My passion in my work is to help people relieve the stress in their lives that leads to an unhealthy relationship with food. We are bombarded with messages about what to do with food, how to eat, what’s healthy and what’s not, what to avoid or get more of, how much we should weigh, how much we should exercise, what your body should look like, and what to teach our kids about how to take care of their bodies.
The constant focus…found in the supermarket, on TV and radio, on the internet, in your doctor’s waiting room, from your kid’s sports organizations, book stores, etc. can lead to a preoccupation with food and body image.
When the focus becomes a problem and you find yourself thinking about, planning, and organizing your life around your relationship with food, it is very painful. You may find that you miss events or not enjoy those you attend because of how you feel about your body or what food may be served. You may feel very lonely, that no one understands that it’s more than just, “wanting to look a little better,” that it’s taken over a big part of your life.
This is when treatment can be very helpful. Specialized treatment for eating disorders is highly effective in reducing and eliminating the food related behaviors and healing the pain that lead to them.
Stop the food fight & live in harmony!
