Sabotage:

  • Things could actually be going well but you either feel uncomfortable with that or unworthy of that, so you sabotage it.
  • Trauma triggered within us that occurred at the weight we were at before..such as sexual assault, post traumatic stress, eating to hide or cover up the shame.

Self Sabotage Tips:

If you have suffered some sort of a trauma: Seeking out counseling, talk Therapy, a holistic health coach, and or a naturopath can be healing in these situations.

Half the battle is recognizing when you have a problem.

Dropping the stigma around needing help and taking the necessary steps to get it.

Letting Go of Food Guilt:

  • Shifting the way we think and feel about food.
  • Being able to go into eating food with a healthy mindset
  • Setting yourself free from a deprivation mind-set.
  • Letting go of judgement around food.
  • Looking at food as food neither good nor bad.
  • Savoring your food.
  • Planning a treat or cheat.
  • Crowd out unhealthy choices by eating more healthy filling foods.
  • Educating yourself in the kitchen.
  • Having fun around food.
  • Self Acceptance.
  • Hiring someone to help you navigate.

Cravings

  • Cravings are the gate-keepers to what your body really needs
  • When your craving something sweet it might mean you need less stress, more sleep, balance, maybe less red meat. Nutrients you may need are fresh berries and more leafy greens
  • When craving caffeine you may need energy and need to incorporate it through the foods you eat.
  • When feeling overly stressed  you may need to start including foods that are grounding like turnips, sweet potatoes, or carrots.
  • Lindsey breaks cravings down in her new book Eat Your Feelings be sure to check it out anywhere books are sold.
