Do thoughts of food and eating (or not eating) rule your life?
Perhaps you constantly feel plagued with obsessive thoughts about diets, calories, fat, carbs, protein, macros, exercise, purging, or whatever the latest good/bad food trends dominate the news and social media.
You can’t remember the last time you ate a meal and felt good about it instead of being riddled with shame or disgust about what you did or didn’t eat.
Perhaps you are stuck in the algorithm of a social media platform that promotes food restriction and unhealthy eating habits, and you know you should “look away” but can’t break the cycle.
To live, you must eat, but you can’t understand how you’ve reached the point where food has become the enemy and continually wonder how to make peace with it.
Staying stuck in the loop of disordered eating isn’t the way out.
Although you can continue your unhealthy relationship with food, it will keep you from living your best life. Not addressing poor eating habits prevents you from living a happy, healthy life where food is nourishment, not the enemy.
Prolonged eating disordered behavior takes a toll on physical and mental health. For some, it can result in hospitalization, possibly a feeding tube, and sometimes even death.
You’ve tried to manage your eating disorder with possibly some success, only to fall back into the same old patterns.
Happiness and freedom from the chains of your disordered eating are possible. It’s time to try something different.
