If you've always been on a diet or off a diet bingeing, then you can relate to this episode's letter writer. Do you yearn for a healthy relationship with food yet can't stop bingeing? Listen now for strategies to ease your mind and promote healing. Subscribe and leave a review here in just seconds. Key Points: Overweight = Over What?? What if no one ever told you your weight was wrong? How would you relate to food and your body? Important questions to consider as working toward healing. Healing can happen by honoring the valid functions and roles food plays in life and coping with life's transitions, stressors, and traumas. Healing also happens when we jump off the diet train instead of focusing on being on or off the wagon. Disembark now! Grief work will find a place in this space and that's ok. What if focused more on a healing relationship with food instead of a healthy relationship with food? Will be less all or nothing and pefectionistic tendencies (which helps no one experience health).
