Are you struggling to lose weight?
People overeat for a variety of reasons:
Our poor food choices
Emotional hunger
Unmet needs
Repressed feelings
Confusion around self identity
A call for love and help
Self hatred
Our disconnection from the body
Past history of sexual abuse
Being wounded by love
Financial worries
Repressed creativity
Being someone we are not
The need to forgive and move on
The need to earn how to truly nourish and care for oneself
Loneliness
In an article in The Institute for the Psychology of Eating, they say to "listen to your weight". I have not researched this group, so I don't know how science based their research is, but I believe that it is important to look at the reason an overweight person thinks they struggle with weight. Going on a "diet" is never the long term answer to the problem. A 30 day "cleanse fast", or short term low carb diet is not the answer to life long weight management and health.
