In the words of Michelle Leath (of Peaceful Relationship with Food) … often the way you relate to food is a reflection of the way we relate to life. So … what’s gets in your way of truly nourishing yourself? Is it that you “don’t have enough time,” or you have “too much on your plate” and you have to attend to everyone else’s needs first? Maybe it’s an old pattern that says “you don’t deserve to eat this or that” and leaves you feeling painfully deprived, maybe even to the point where you finally cave in and eat everything in sight in an act of rebellion. These are some of the most common tensions I see in women who struggle with food … and you know what it reduces down to?
Malnourishment. When you don’t set healthy boundaries and create enough time and space to nourish yourself, you feel deprived … drained … hungry at a deep (soul) level. And when you feel this void-hungry it’s predictable that you’ll reach for food in an attempt to fill up. But you know that doesn’t work in the end, because it’s not food that you are really hungry for!
Personal Power = Metabolic Power. What this means is that when you give your power away through over-giving, over-scheduling, denying yourself adequate rest, replenishment and nourishment, or any other form of power-leakage (think soul-draining job or relationships) the result is physiologic stress to your system which, over time, literally runs your metabolism into the ground and drives you to overeat.
The good news is when you take back your power in ANY life situation, when you remember you are valuable, you feel good. You relax. And that ignites your full healthy metabolism, digestion and even your nutrient absorption! All from simply putting yourself first for a change… pretty cool, huh?
And that’s something you can do right now by simply claiming some attention for yourself. You can change mindsets that not longer serve you right now. Why Wait?

How can individuals overcome common challenges and patterns related to food, such as time constraints, putting others’ needs first, or ingrained beliefs about deservingness, to establish healthier boundaries, create space for self-nourishment, and address the root causes of emotional eating?

Getting YOURSELF onside is an important dimension of the Weightless whole-person approach. Guided therapy helps a client to understand, release & rewrite the notions they have of themselves, their relationships to eating & to others (including obligations & worthiness of self-care). Weightless uses many tools & techniques to achieve this including RTT (Rapid Transformational Therapy) and The Work of Byron Katie. Understanding that ’emotional eating’ is Processed & Refined Food driven … rather than necessarily ’emotionally’ triggered is helpful too. As is having access to a community of like-minded others on a similar path to sanity & self-care around food. For this I would recommend the ARC: at https://www.foodaddictionreset.com/
