This episode contains some trigger talk about food insecurity,
and my experience with weight and body perception

You want to listen if you EVER wonder: do I have a bad relationship to food?

Save it for later, so you can write down the TOP FIVE QUESTIONS to ask yourself about your food relationship!

Besides the TOP FIVE QUESTIONS, I share 4 personal reasons why ditched dieting and started healing my relationship with food.

Mentioned in this episode:

• Intuitive Eating, by Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch

• The Ellen Satter Institute

We don’t always think about our relationship to food.

We just ask, “Why can’t I stick to a diet?” or “Why don’t I have any willpower?”

I always ask women in The Fullness Method how they rate their relationship to food on a scale of 1-10.

If they don’t understand the concept, I direct them to this podcast episode.

For those of us who have been dieting for a long time, our food relationship can be messed up. Then we hit perimenopause.

Both Perimenopause and Menopause are conflicting times, as our bodies change and transition, and health problems may arise.

We experience health issues that our licensed care providers target with weight loss as a first solution. This is how they are taught, and it is with good intention.

HOWEVER, the relationship a person has to food does not get discussed, and this plays in to:

• how you eat.

• how you feel about yourself and your menopausal body!

I am not a licensed physician, or psychologist, and this episode is for education and information only.

Looking to change your relationship to food and don’t know where to start? Consider a Cravings Consultation as an introduction to the Non Diet approach!

As always, I welcome your comments and reviews on iTunes!
