Behavioral Change


                                             
                                “It’s not what you’re eating… it’s what’s eating you”

 
For many of us, eating issues become problematic between the ages of 10 and 20. This is a time of great change….emotionally, physically, and socially.
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 thyself

Personal awareness is an awakening. It’s a true realization/recognition of who we are and why we do what we do.

Please join me in the greatest journey one could ever partake. The truth is, the journey of self is the path to ultimate freedom….it’s a neurological liberation.
Know yourself and live the life you’ve always wanted…become who you were meant to be…find your unique purpose…fulfill your destiny.
