Consistency trumps intensity and novelty. What does that mean? I hear over and over how my patients are able to stick with a new (novel) eating plan, exercise routine, or (fill in the blank) for only a short time then they are off to something new (novel). Many tend to gravitate towards dramatic or intense new ways of eating or being physically active (ex. CrossFit). They feel pumped up by a new diet or by a new way to “lose belly fat,” for example.
In childhood, life experiences AND life stresses (when coupled with family support) help the brain develop pathways that allow the child to better respond to stress in the future. The most important life experience for children is how their parents and other adults interact with them.
“If you are never tested, you won’t be prepared.”
Health, particularly behavioral health, has become bound up in morality. The term for this is “healthism” based on a philosophy that everyone is responsible for their health but in a way that makes “healthy behaviors” seem to be more morally superior. This is particularly a problem when it comes to body size. There is a feeling that if health is under your control, then that means you must be “choosing” to be obese (as defined by body mass index).

Food shame is common in individuals with binge eating, food addiction, emotional or stress eating. Certain foods are more prone to being a source of shame and can lead to overeating and binging. How do the keto diet, paleo diet or intermittent fasting lead to food shame? Stress can also contribute to or result in food shame. Learn how to overcome food shame.
The past few weeks have been difficult for many people, myself included. I’m reaching out to you now because I also know that if you have binge eating disorder, food addiction or you are an emotional or stress eater, this may be a particularly difficult time to manage your eating behaviors.
If you are an emotional overeater, this problem probably began early in your life. As a child, if you were not taught to manage your emotions, you may be at higher risk for engaging in emotional eating as an adult. The goal is to be able to experience a normal range of emotions without feeling so uncomfortable with those emotions that you use food to avoid dealing with them.
In this episode, we discuss a few techniques you can begin to practice to help you end emotional eating.
What would be missing in my life if I no longer could turn to these specific foods to deal with your problems or your emotions?
