Daily insights on how to heal your relationship with food

You might think that binge eating is a flaw, or a failure. But what if I told you it's here for a reason?

You might be so ashamed of your eating that you never want to face it. But if you want to really feel good about your eating you need to sit with the stuff that binge eating brings up.

Shame, feeling less-than, not good enough. These are what bingeing is here to teach you about and you can't 'fix' these by eating differently.

'Everything is fine. I'll eat better on Monday and

'Everything is fine. I'll eat better on Monday and everything will be just fine.'

I know you've said those words after eating in a way that has made you uncomfortable. I have too. It's like Monday is a magic eraser to get rid of all your mistakes today.

Unfortunately, and I hate to be the one to break it to ya, but what led you to eat the way you have today is still going to be there no matter what well meaning plan you've set for yourself on Monday.

Because changing the way you eat doesn't change who you are... Or what's going on for you deep down.

If you're in pain about living with yourself then eating salad is not going to help you heal those hurts of rejection and shame.

It's not easy to sit with who you are. But you don't have to do it all in one go.
Take one minute or one breath and allow yourself to feel what might be going on for you.

If you have deep wounds, what you likely need is therapy not a low-Calorie no mayo wrap.

If you're up for it, journaling can be very helpful in allowing feelings to be expressed. Again, counselling or therapy can help make this process easier.

Be slow. Be here now. Allow yourself to eventually come to hold all the hurt parts of you.

'Did I do it right?' 'Have I screwed up?' 'OK, I can do better than this.'

If this is your self-talk around food then you need to know that your worries about your eating are coming from a place of rocky self-worth.

Which is to say that you are likely :
• judging yourself harshly
• criticising yourself daily
• never feel good enough

And it's this last point you need to zone in on, because I can tell you that even if you nail your diet or slim down... That hurt inner part of you is still going to be there and it will feel so shitty to do a makeup job on your exterior and for you to feel as worthless as you did before it.

I'm going to be talking about beliefs and mindset in my Break Free from Binge Eating workshop this Sunday and I think you might find it super useful.

I used to believe that I was addicted to chocolate

I used to believe that I was addicted to chocolate and other sugary things. If I was to binge on any food, it was 90% of the time some form of sugar, which just hardened the belief that sugar is something you can’t have any control over.

🍫 Yup, I definitely saw myself as a chocoholic.

Yet, now I think about it, I haven’t used that word to describe myself for a very long time.
But I still eat chocolate and love it above all other sugary foods. If I want something sweet, I go for chocolate. If I want a dessert or something comforting, I go for chocolate.
But I no longer see myself as addicted to it or weak to its call.

What had changed was my mindset and my whole relationship with food.
I came to see, over time, and by living my eat happy practice that I could indeed be moderate with chocolate and other forms of sweet or sugary foods.

It’s simple, but if you make something off-limits and naughty and forbidden and you tell yourself over and over again you must not eat it, and you think about NOT eating it all the time – you will feel absolutely drawn to it.
It’s a bit like that whole manifestation saying isn’t it: Where your thoughts go your energy flows.
And I think it’s true – the more I thought about it, the more it was attractive to me.

It takes time to open to that knowledge of what you want to eat, but that information is there and it’s fun to tap into it.
Learn to have faith in yourself, by allowing yourself to eat without restriction, and not control it and you will find balance. It’s always there for you. And you get to decide when you want it.

If you're feeling uncomfortable in your body right

If you're feeling uncomfortable in your body right now - the chances are you're doing that thing of zooming out of yourself and looking back at your body from an outsider's perspective and imagining the judgement and criticism.

🍄 If that's the case - I highly recommend you come back to the senses that your body is experiencing.

Not only does this connect you to the present moment, as sensations can only be felt in the here and now - it stops you from shooting off into imagined future worries.

🌼 Connecting to the feeling of the breeze on your face, or the smell of cut grass, or listening to the bird song around you - it gives you something to focus on and reminds you that this is what your body allows you to experience.

☀️ Being in the moment may not completely eradicate the negativity you may feel towards your body, but it can be very difficult in that precise moment to not only pay attention to sensations AND say mean things to yourself.

It's a bit like when you practice gratitude, you can't feel angry.

Try it today - whenever you say something mean about your body, or have a strong negative feeling towards it - notice what is going on around you and what senses your body is using.

Stop trying to fix your food.
Your energy needs to go towards YOU and finding that place of inner contentment where you feel truly at peace with who you are.

❎ Right now you are going outside of yourself to make yourself 'better'. But no matter how you eat, or how you look, you're not going to have that feeling of "Aaah - all is well" because you are rejecting yourself right now.

👉 You can't find happiness through self-rejection - and dieting is all about REJECTION!

🔥Hot tip:
Inner-peace starts with accepting who you are right now, including what you look like, how you show up in the world - the whole shebang - it needs accepting right now.

❓Do you think this is something you can do or does it sound impossible?
🌼 Have you ever worked on self-acceptance before?

You're not broken.
You're not flawed.

Once you truly grasp this, you can turn towards your eating and heal what needs to be healed.

Number 1:
You are questioning whether dieting is really working and if it's something you should continue to do.

If you have at least a sliver of doubt over WW, or Slimming World or lifestyle diets out there - then that is a really brilliant sign that you are starting to heal your relationship with food. Once you have the thought that painful food restriction and control might be hurting you, you've started on the path to discover what is going to be healing for you.

Number 2:
You don't want to count calories.

Yes! If you feel reluctant to count food numbers or tap what you've eaten in a fitness tracker app or jot it down in a journal, you are listening to a part of you that is saying "I don't want to do this anymore!" - you might feel confused about that, and you may have labelled it as weak-willed, but that's not it at all. In fact, it's a sign that you are tired of engaging in something that is exhausting and unsustainable.

Number 3:
You've heard of 'anti-dieting' and 'intuitive eating'.

As well as body positivity, body acceptance or body neutrality. You are aware of these concepts and ideas - you might feel pretty new to them, but there's awareness there that there's something out there that is telling you that rigid food control is not healthy and that there is a way of BEING around food that is way kinder.

-
So these three things might feel small, or new - but don't knock them. You may still be controlling food, you may still be bingeing or cycling between eating styles - and that's okay. Quitting dieting is a process that can take some time (that's why I do the coaching work I do, to support people through this!)
But if you are aware that things aren't quite right, then that actually can be enough to send you towards what is going to heal you. I don't know what that road is going to look like for you, but I'm glad you're here reading this.
I've learned a lot in my own journey with quitting dieting AND being a coach, and my work has changed over the last couple of years too.

So let's keep learning how to be kind and supportive of ourselves and others, and call out dieting bull whenever we see it.

Thanks for being here!
