For many of us food is plentiful. Every few hours there is, a huge collective
of people who turn their attention to the pursuit of consuming food. Each of us decides how much is enough and it
is totally socially acceptable to eat, regardless of whether or not we are
hungry. The clock is our supervisor, and
with socially acceptable impunity, we go alone or in groups to parks,
restaurants, and homes, to eat. Our
clocks more than our bodies dictate when we eat. The clock reminds us it is time for breakfast,
lunch or dinner. We eat each meal as if it is our last rather than with the
pre-knowledge of another meal coming up in a few hours.
We mistakenly accept any feelings
in our bodies as hunger pangs. We use
food to not feel those feelings thereby “stuffing them”. Often we find ourselves in the kitchen
looking around for something to eat due to uncomfortable feelings that we do
not want to feel so we look for something to soothe us, distract us. This often doesn’t work because we are not
satisfied by the food since we weren’t hungry.
And the feeling just comes back.
How many cookies does it take to not feel anxious, lonely, and angry
sad, etc. Food is not the answer. It is a habit. You have acquired the habit of self-soothing
with food.
The only place you feel hunger is
in your stomach. Feelings in your gut,
heart, head, etc. are not about being hungry.
Truth be told you are probably not hungry most of the time that you
reach for food.
It’s time to change your
relationship with food. It is time
to stop using food to feel better that is not what it is about. It is time to stop thinking about food all
the time and what you’re going to eat and where you are going to get it. Relax; take a breath, you live in a place
where you can almost always get food. Food
is not your enemy it is your friend. It
nourishes you and taste good and satisfies real hunger. It is time to stop the Yo-yo dieting and
relax. It is time to get to the source
of the issue. Get to the why of it. What is the story you are telling
yourself? Why are you letting your
weight get in the way of a happy life?
What is this obsession about? It
is not about the food it is about some uncomfortable feelings you are using
food to distract from. It is time to
figure out why you keep doing this. It
is time to get to the bottom of the over-eating, cravings, snacking. Seriously, it is time to learn to love and
respect yourself and feel your feelings and deal effectively and appropriately
with them. Food is not the answer to
everything. It is only the answer to
hunger, real in your stomach, hunger.
