Imagine a life Not Controlled By Food

Most of my life anything I put my mind to I was able to accomplish through hard work and discipline, but that approach never helped me overcome my eating disorders and food addiction and here is why….

My adult life revolved around trying to excel at my work, taking care of kids and a husband and showing up for everyone but me. Food was the only thing that was giving me “relief“ from the stresses of life.

For years and years, I would make it through many days eating right, but then at the end of the day when everything would wind down and kids were in bed and I finally had some quiet in my day, everything would break down.

My nightly routine for years was bingeing in front of the TV. I was looking for relief and comfort and drug foods were the one consistent thing in my life.

Most of my life, I tried to control what I ate. I tried everything humanly possible, and all the programs and gimmicks that were available - infomercial miracle diet programs, doctor supervised weight loss programs, counting calories, fitness memberships, and fitness equipment that became a place to hang clothing.

Nothing worked. My disordered eating just kept progressing and all the stress of it just kept fueling my need for relief and that kept driving me to eat more.

For people like us, willpower and discipline is not enough. We require a different approach. Recovery forces us to look at the emotions and needs that we’ve been stuffing down our whole life. Because our real needs had not been met, we continued to use food to meet them.

When we finally seek out real solutions to our problems instead of turning to food for everything some amazing things happen!

❤️Our cognitive function improves, and we begin to think more clearly and see things from a healthier perspective.

❤️We are finally able to reach some goals

❤️We have more energy

❤️We finally have the mental wherewithal to become the person we’ve been trying to be

Pursuing food sobriety by first eliminating drug foods starts minimizing the compulsion to eat.

Once we start filling our real needs, we won’t feel as compelled to reach for food every time we feel uncomfortable emotions.

Do you keep trying to tackle this disordered relationship you have with food by counting calories and macros? You’re going to need a lot more than that. You’re going to need more than discipline and willpower. You need the right tools, skills, strategies, and support.
