How to know if you're still struggling with food

How does a women really know if she is (still) struggling with eating? You and I both know that there is a vast spectrum that lies between healthy, empowered eater and full blown eating disorder.

You don't need to be eating 500 calories a day or be binge eating every night to "qualify" as having a complicated relationship with food.

Many women feel "okay" about their eating, but still:

• Research diet plans online somewhat compulsively

• Feel shame or anxiety about their body and food

• Eat in ways that make them feel lousy physically

• Control and micromanage their eating excessively

• Don't trust themselves or their body and habitually try and eat "less"

What I teach my clients, helps heal these patterns. Healing means you get to eat well, end reactive eating patterns, feel great physically, and move on with life.

There are a few recurring areas of focus that arise in this work. Practice tending to them over time (and work with exactly gets in the way of doing so) and watch your eating transform.

Here are the pillars to heal your eating:

The practical basics:

- Prepare nourishing, nutritionally balanced meals for yourself

- Learn and understand the medicinal, healing quality of food to support your body

- Develop empowering eating skillsets when on the road, out with friends, over the holidays, or out of your usual routine.

- Get all your questions answers around meal timing, fasting, macronutrients, health trends, etc. to stop overthinking

The body skills:

- Feel sensation in the body, trust the body

- Evoking parasympathetic response when eating

- Regulate over-arousal/overstimulation in the body

The emotional skills:

- Feel & metabolize emotions (especially those that drive your eating habits)

- Unburden shame & perfectionism related to eating, the body

- Tend to your own healthy participation in relationship dynamics in your life (self-responsibility and growth)

Having a loving and confident relationship with food is big work for women. It often shines light on surprising places within ourselves. And paves the way for makes long-lasting change in our lives...
