Do you see yourself or your loved one in what I just shared?

If you said yes, likely, these behaviors have been going on for awhile.

Often, the focus becomes on the food or the weight, rather than getting to the heart of the matter to the deeper problems going on underneath.

Dieting Culture

“How  would  you  feel  if  you  failed  at  something  over  and  over  again  and  the  experts  kept  prescribing  a  treatment  with  a  95%  failure  rate,  then  blamed  you  when  it  didn’t  work?    How  would  you  feel?”

 (Dana  Armstrong,  RD,CDE,  Moving  Away  From  Diets)

The Truth about Diets

Monday, March 18, 13

Eating is a microcosm of one’s internal experience

Our eating is a microcosm of our internal world

Begin noticing & asking....Be honest about what is going on

Reflect for a moment what is the connection between the eating and your life?

Start noticing the binge cycle

3 Immediate Interventions

Keep a food journal ~ record all of your food + feelings

Create an “intervention” for the time that you typically binge~ develop new structures

Stop eating in front of the TV~ eat at the table with no distractions

Longer-Term Strategies

Create lifestyle changes which include understanding how the eating behaviors serve as a coping skill for you

Use support: a therapist, a nutritionist, a group, loved-ones

Tips to Loved One’s

Educate yourself through available resources

Attend a therapy session

Ask them what they need from you

Focus on feelings not on food or weight

You cannot make your loved one do anything~ the best help you can provide is to love them where they are every step of the way.
