You’ve set the intention to improve your eating habits.  Weather that’s to lose weight, feel better, have more energy. Whatever the reason you’ve decided to dedicate yourself to this effort.  Great!  But often what comes with that is overwhelming focus on food.  It’s like it can take over your thoughts and even become stressful.  Today lets talk about how this over obsessing about food is unhelpful and I’ll give you some tips on how to handle this.

Is thinner always better? This question came up in a conversation with my 15 year old daughter recently.  And without hesitating, she answered yes.  

I pressed her a little, and she wavered and changed her answer but deep in her core, her immediate response was the same as probably all of us listening-that yes, being thinner is always more desirable. 

That idea comes from a lifetime of conditioning.  

Let's talk about this more today!

Imagine if your predominant thought was:

"I’m not good enough."

"I’m doing it wrong. I am wrong. Something about my life is wrong."

"I’ll never be as ___ as her. I’m unlovable."

"I’m undesirable."

"I need to change."

If this is your mind chatter, what type of decisions do you think you will make?

Most likely, you’ll emotionally eat, snack on comfort foods, and quite possibly overeat.  And if this is consistently the action you take, obviously it will make weight loss and maintaining weight loss very difficult.  

Though you can never completely get rid of these thoughts, by figuring out how to deal with them, you can stop turning to food to quiet your inner critic.

Women I talk to often say things like: I just need to have more willpower.  Or I don’t know why I don’t have the willpower or motivation to lose weight.

As women we’ve been lead to believe that willpower is the key to achieving their weight loss goals, but it doesn’t work, leads to frustration, guilt and shame when we fail again.  

You want lasting habits so simply focusing on willing yourself to a goal only results in short term results.  If you want to make lasting changes that resulting in long term sustained weight loss, you need more than just to buckle down with a burst of willpower.

So what is willpower? Willpower is control exerted to do something or restrain impulses.  It’s really about making yourself do something that you don’t truly want to do.

It requires you to use a lot of energy because you are forcing your way into a goal that you may not really want.  And this can leave you exhausted.

It’s that time of year!  When we start gearing up for resolutions and we plan for weight loss, eating, and exercise plans.  

I’m all for a fresh start and improving ourselves and health but most of us go about it in a very diet culture centric way.  

In fact, the term resolution actually means:

A firm decision to do or not to do something.

And making a resolution means the act of resolving or determining upon an action, course of action, method, procedure, etc. a resolve; a decision or determination: to make a firm resolution to do something.  

Which in itself feels like very black or white thinking

Do something or don’t

Diet vs. don’t diet

Good food or bad food

And that is not what the anti-diet approach to weight loss is about.  

New Year's resolutions often leave us feeling down, discouraged and frustrated.

Instead I suggest your resolution be this: NO RESOLUTION

Because it is not a winning weight loss strategy.
