001 ⎮ Control

inatf podcast Aug 29, 2018

Control manifests itself in so many ways, but can also show up in our behaviors around food and too often, they represent an area of our life where we feel out of control. 

There are two common areas where people generally feel out of control.

  1. Ambiguous standard: Places where "right and wrong" are subject to interpretation. Think English class vs. Math Class... or a football game vs. a dance competition.  
  2. Other people: Most commonly people we have a relationship with...spouse, parents, children, and friends. 

Often times the control we place over food can be a clue as to where we lack control in our own lives. 

Do you...

        Control the times of day that you eat? Perhaps you subconsciously are wanting control over your schedule. 

        Fast from foods? Perhaps you are wanting a break from something or someone who is causing you stress in your life.

        Eat foods on a consistent schedule? i.e. do you eat every two-three hours? Perhaps you are longing for pleasure and are setting yourself up to have snacks or meals that you can look forward to throughout your day.

       Do you think of food as "good" or "bad"? This is typically a morality issues and can often be indicative of something you did in  your personal life that is immoral. 

Do you see how each of the above examples symbolizes something deeper...do you see that in the above examples, that it's not really about the food but about a deeper issue that is going unnoticed.

In this podcast episode, I dive into this idea of control and I give you some homework to do to help work through some of these issues you may be struggling with. 

Diet culture so often breeds shame, guilt and doubt. It's so very common, but those feelings are not normal and I want to help you live a better life that is free from clutches of rules and obsessions over your size, food, and exercise. 

Listen to the episode below and if you have any questions at all regarding control, or any other topic, please ask your question HERE. My hand is extended and I am here to help.
