Healing your relationship with food doesn't mean giving up. It means letting yourself win. It means allowing compassion to drive your choices. It means recognising that the hard thing and the right thing are usually the same thing.
Client Monica, an attorney from the USA, opens up about her journey to lose 100 pounds. It has been anything but smooth. But those conflicting feelings are normal. And she wanted to share them with you. We talk about shame, self-love, the fear of being the bigger person eating food. Everything.

If you're sick of counting calories and exhausting diet rules because you press the f*ck it button whenever you stop, this is for you. Your body has a wonderful system that sends signals, but gets blunted over time the more you rely on external metrics.
Let's explore the difference between trying to force yourself to eat less versus changing how you relate to food. Changing the desire for how much you want. Changing your whole perspective.

Many people don't just want to lose weight. They unknowingly use their weight, shape and appearance as a measure of their worth, confidence and success. A bad photo, a fluctuation on the scale or a moment of self-consciousness can have an enormous impact on mood and behaviour.
We'll discuss how to reduce the importance of weight and shape without pretending appearance doesn't matter. Topics include body checking, tying self-worth to appearance, the subconcious fears beneath weight gain, and why constantly monitoring your body keeps it at the centre of your life. - My No.1 bestselling book, FULL: THE EMPTINESS OF OVEREATING, is available here.
Body image doesn't improve by trying to think about it less or forcing confidence.
For most people, it is not a thinking problem, but an attention problem. When most of your mental space is taken up by weight, shape, and appearance, body image naturally feels all-consuming.
In part 1, we discuss how to increase the importance of other things in life so that body image takes up less space in your mind.
