In this episdoe, we talk about what to do when you notice any changes or backslides with your eating. 

This could happen after the honey moon wears off after WLS, or it could be when all was going well, you were eating well, feeling good, and then it feels like out of the blue, your eating changed.

You're eating everything and everything in site (so it feels like) or those old V1,0 habits have started to creep back in.

In this episode I share my 4 steps to get started.

We all have a part of us that wants to change - the part of you that decided to get WLS, the part of you that exercises, the part of you that’s here listening to this podcast. 

And then we have  a part of us that doesn’t want to change.  It’s the part of us that eats in the moment, is consumed by food.

Let's dig deeper and understand the part of that is eating, how she might be trying to help you.

The last night that we were in Tasmania for school holidays, I started to have this bingey feeling.  I just wanted to get food in.  I had about 5 chocolates, 2 glasses of wine that I guzzled and half an icecream over a short period of time.  

I recognised that old feeling of just wanting to shovell anything into my mouth.

During it, I didn’t use any of my tools. Afterwards, I didn’t use any of my tools.

I basically went to bed feeling pretty crappy and beating myself up - I know better etc.

You can't hate your way skinny! Trust me, I tried it and gained more and more weight. 

How can I accept something that I hate?

If I accept my body now, does it mean I've resigned myself to being like this forever?

Here's where to start and a powerful exercise to stop using your body as a scapegoat and start to treat it like you're on the same team.

When things are predictable you feel like you have some control right?

This is where it got me thinking, this perhaps might just be more of a control issue than a fear issue.  I used to think this block was more about the fear of the unknown.

Rather than the issue being fear…..I feel like this issue could be about a loss of control….

HOW TO REWIRE YOUR BRAIN AROUND YOUR #1 MOST PROBLEMATIC EATING HABIT

Are you stuck in a comfort cycle that is preventing you from stepping into your V2.0 self. 

 

Let’s talk about comfort levels. 

 

Women say _ I want to change. I want peace, I want freedom. I want to trust myself around food, I want to thrive. 

But they get stuck in a comfort cycle. 

Maybe this might be where you are stuck as well.

Psychology 101 tells us our thoughts leads to our feelings, our feelings lead to our behaviour. 

We have a thought that we are a failure with our eating/weight > this leads to a feeling of feeling helpless, ashamed or disappointed > behav - lead to more eating.

We get stuck in a v1.0 cycle.  Same thinking gets the same results. 

V2.0 thinking can get v2.0 outcomes, because when we choose an empowering thought we feel more empowered and we typically make empowered choices with our eating.

Ella like most of the women I work with, struggled with her eating since a young age. She had WLS approx 4 years ago, released weight, regained weight and identified a reoccuring trigger for weight gain which was the  feeling of loss of control.     The main difference with this guest today is that she is actually a dietitan!   You are going to hear the journey of a dietitan who has gone through all of the ups and downs after WLS...showing that that all of the knowledge in the world, doesn't fix the problem.    She shares the inner work that she did to clear the emotional baggage that she had been carrying around for years.    This is a long episode so I have divided this up into 2 parts.   This is part 2.   Trigger Warning: Mention of sexual abuse.
