Turning to food becomes a convenient coping mechanism because of the availability and social acceptance of this substance. What makes it even harder is that we have to eat food to live (we can’t avoid it).
The problem seems obvious…but is it?
Even though
it would appear that food is to blame for our eating problems, it’s not. Severe food restriction, overeating, binging,
purging, over exercising, or a preoccupation with body weight are not the
causes of our weight issues.
These are merely the symptoms OF a
problem.
These behavioral
patterns associated with food are what we’ve imprinted to cope with life’s
difficulties and memories that are too hard to face.
So where do we start?
Behavioral
change is about changing negative patterns of behavior by changing your
relationship with yourself.
Personal awareness brings forth
personal transformation.
You must
understand the personal manifestations of emotions to understand the coping
mechanisms we have attached to the emotions. Our attachments to food (not the
food itself) are the underlying cause of our pain and suffering when it comes
to our weight.
The good
news is that food has no power other than the power we give it.
Know thyselfPersonal awareness is an awakening. It’s a true realization/recognition of who we are and why we do what we do.
