Let Go of Diet Fantasy

Nourish and Nurture

Episode #: 69. Letting Go of the Diet Fantasy
This episode starts with the exercise of taking an inventory of how dieting has interfered with my life. If I wasn’t already convinced of the need to let go of dieting, the further exercises - the different costs of dieting and exploring how has dieting affected my mind and mood - cemented that thought. Part 2 of these workbook exercises, comparing “Fantasy Thoughts” with my history brought about interesting introspection and reflection. The answer to one of the questions just took my breath away - make sure to listen to find out which one.
The episode goes on to explore the tools of dieting and the hidden forms of dieting - all very interesting. Personally, I have a belief system revolving around both of these and I didn't even realize how strong and deep-rooted this belief system is - no wonder I am having a heck of a time letting go!
I am going to share with you, right in the show notes, what this week's actionable coaching advice is, because it is that important: This week write down a few of the dieting tools that you can’t let go of. Is it measuring your food? Is it being strict with a “no” list? Is it ordering only diet foods when you go to a restaurant? Is it preemptive eating so you won’t eat so much in a social situation? I am sure you can come up with many of your own. Pick one or two and work on letting them go this week.
Make sure you tune in next week to continue our Intuitive Eating journey.
