Helping You To Improve Your Relationship With Food Through Mindful, Balanced Eating
Do you want to improve your relationship with food? Perhaps you want to lose weight but don’t want to go back to restrictive diet plans. Or maybe you’re a healthy weight but battling with emotional eating.
Whilst weight loss clubs give people plenty of opportunity to focus on and achieve their weight loss goals, it’s not easy to find something that helps an individual to understand why they might overeat in the first place or why they find it hard to eat in a balanced way, which might keep them stuck in a cycle of yo-yo dieting or swinging between binge eating and restrictive eating.
My blog posts provide lots of tips and information about how to feel more in charge of food, strategies to tackle mindless overeating, how to address emotional eating or binge eating and they offer a fresh approach if you want to lose weight and achieve successful long-term weight management. In order to make positive, long-term changes, building self-awareness and self-insight can help an individual to understand why and how they eat, why they might turn to food to ‘cope’, and how to manage the food environment in today’s stressful, fast-paced world. We all have different needs, preferences and challenges, so finding a personalised way of eating that works for the individual can be really helpful.
Food and eating can symbolise different things to different people. For example, eating can be a way of having a break, it can have a calming effect, it can act as a distraction or provide a temporary release from difficult situations or from one’s own state of mind, it can be a way of taking or relinquishing control, and it can even be a means of rebelling or ‘rule breaking’. Food might be used as a way to try and self-soothe or even self-punish.
Throughout my website my aim is to empower you with in-depth knowledge, give you an understanding of mindful eating concepts and provide you with clarity and insight to help you feel hopeful about developing a better relationship with food. My blog posts reflect much of what I cover in my one-to-one sessions and my webinars. I hope they inspire you to begin a journey towards a happier, healthier relationship with food.
