Food and Body Concerns

You’re not alone.  We can help.

 

I think about food morning, noon, and night. The obsession consumes me.

My day is destroyed when I get on the scale, but I need to check.

It’s hard to remember a time I didn’t feel guilty after eating.

The evening is the hardest. I just eat and zone out.

I can be “good” for a while, but then I mess up and throw in the towel.

I’m going to get back on track tomorrow.

My body is unacceptable. I feel like my life is on hold until I lose weight.

These are common refrains we hear from clients.

Food and weight preoccupation can take over your life and sap your vitality.

The number on the scale dictates how your day will go.

Your eating gets off track, and you can’t regain control.

You think you should be able to stop, but you find yourself locked in the same cycle.

Imagine a life where you are free from food and weight concerns.

A life where you eat only when you’re hungry and stop when you’re full.

Where you leave food on your plate because you had enough.

Where you’re lost in conversation at the dinner table and not even thinking about the food.

Where you leave it to someone else to pick the restaurant because you don’t care that much.

You want to quiet your mind.

It’s understandable that you long for freedom.

To be able to eat without guilt.

To feel at peace with your body.

To see food as nourishment and not your everything.
