So, you do realise that diets don’t work, right?!
Well, some do, for a short period of time, but then the weight slowly creeps back on until you eventually end up weighing more than when you started!
So, why do we bother?
We go round and round on the diet merry go round because that’s what we know to be the only thing to do to achieve everything we’re dreaming of, health, happiness, love, attention, you name it, it’s all bound up in the illusion of weightloss!
95% of diets fail, would you buy a car knowing that 95% didn’t work?
If you struggle with any kind of overeating, then chances are you’ve tried most every diet out there in an effort to control your eating. And with each new diet you begin, you’ve likely experienced the promise of a “New You.”
But like most every dieter out there, you’ve likely also experienced the disappointment that comes when you inevitably “fall off the wagon” and return to your overeating behaviours.
So perhaps the answer to end binge eating does not lie in seeking a “New You” but in seeking a NEW APPROACH! This means starting the new year with NO diets, NO fads, NO gimmicks, and NO quick-fixes. Instead, it means starting the new year with a new approach to understanding and truly resolving your emotional and binge eating.
Start by listening to your body, what is she saying to you?
Try eating when you’re hungry, and try stopping when you’re getting full, how does this feel for you?
