I’ll never forget the first time working with a client when I heard these words uttered:
“But… but… but…. Audra…. You don’t understand….
I. LOVE. FOOD.
The reason I can’t stop eating it is because I LOVE it!”
Her fear was legitimate.
She came to me holding onto about 80 pounds of excess weight (give or take), and while she saw me a mentor and coach who could help her along her journey, she also saw me as the person who was about to take away this love affair.
And in that moment… instead of trying to soothe her and make it all okay… I told her the truth:
“You don’t love food.”
If you are:
- eating in the car…
- eating standing up…
- eating in front of the fridge…
- sneaking food…
- shoving the spoon into the container…
- mindlessly noshing away in front of the TV…
- going unconscious and over-stuffing yourself…
- obsessing over food to the point where it consumes you…
- craving it all the time…
- thinking about your next meal while you’re eating this one…
- thinking about dessert while you’re eating your meal…
THIS IS NOT LOVE.
If you truly LOVED food… you would have a completely different relationship towards food.
In today’s video I teach you actual strategies that will start to bring you into a deeper, more meaningful and yes…. even LOVING relationship with food.
If you struggle with your weight, with cravings, with obsessing about food, or any form of emotional eating (binge eating, stress eating, mindless eating…), then you won’t want to miss these practical tools I offer in this vid!
