Does managing your weight feel like a stressful, full-time job?
We’ve been programmed to believe that controlling our inner fat slob requires willpower.
So we count calories, avoid entire food groups and shame ourselves for overeating.
But willpower requires focus. And the more distracted and stressed we are, the less control we have.
Which makes it even harder to deal with urges and cravings. And that makes us more distracted and stressed. It’s a downward spiral.
For some of us, the obsession with diet leads to full blown food addiction. We get so in our heads that we don’t even remember what it feels like to be normal around food.
Habits of self-abuse and neglect lead to isolation, binge eating and the loss of physical and mental vitality.
