How’s your relationship with food? Is it “complicated”?
In our weight and image-obsessed culture, it is very easy to feel very overwhelmed about food. This “complicated” relationship can sabotage our very best efforts, leave us feeling down, and simply take the fun out of eating.
Who wants that? I’m here to tell you, it doesn’t have to be this way!
In this episode, I’m going to dive into the 10 signs of an unhealthy relationship with food.
This type of relationship may be considered to be a form of disordered eating.
Many are unaware that they may have disordered eating. Disordered eating is defined as a variety of disturbed, abnormal eating behaviors, and every 3 out of 4 women suffer from it…and most aren’t even aware!
Disordered eating is often ignored, or worse, celebrated or prescribed in our fatphobic, “wellness”-obsessed culture. Are you curious if your “clean eating” might be too clean?
Here are some signs that your relationship status with food is “Complicated”.
I’ll be diving a bit deeper into the following in today’s podcast
You ONLY focus on “CLEAN EATING”
You avoid all the foods you actually WANT when in social settings
You categorize food as either “good” or “bad”
You live according to strict rules and beat yourself up if you break them
You are a portion control freak
You have feelings of guilt around food
You use exercise as a means to “earn” food
You give weight-based compliments
Everything is all about the numbers
You have designated “Cheat” days
What’s the difference between a healthy approach to food versus the above 10 that makes the relationship “complicated”?
FLEXIBILITY???
Let’s talk about this “complicated” relationship and how you can mend it.
