Stay tuned! Before we get started, what do you think, and be honest, about the red lipstick? I really don’t know. It’s an adjustment. I don’t ever wear red lipstick but my step mom got me this lipstick and I’m giving it a shot, even though it’s a little uncomfortable. I don’t know why red lipstick is a little uncomfortable when you’re not used to it. I’m just gonna roll with it! When I was struggling with my weight and self image, I had a terrible relationship with food. To call it dysfunctional is an understatement. It was something that I rewarded myself with. It was something that I disciplined myself with. It was merely a number when I was a huge calorie counter. It was something that just made me fat! That’s all that food was for me for the longest period of time. end_emotional_eating Our first step to healing yourself from emotional eating is figuring out what food really means to you and teaching you how to start uncovering that so we can start healing. If we go back to our very first experience with food, yes when we were infants, what was it like? How did we feel? We were warm, wrapped up in our mother’s arms. We were getting nourishing milk. We were feeling love, right? It was an experience of love. Its not like as infants we could disassociate the two and say, “Well this is food, and this is love.” It was one experience of food and love together. Then, as we grow up, what happens? We have more and more experiences of food and love together at weddings, birthday parties, graduations, family functions, when you’re sitting around the table with the people you love the most. It’s food and love together. When you start to accept the idea that food and love can be in the same experience and there’s nothing wrong with that, you actually start to make food choices automatically, that come from a source of love. What does that mean? Choosing foods from a source of love is choosing foods that are nourished by the soil, by the sun, by the rain, by somebody else preparing it. If you eat meat, this means choosing meats that are organic meats, or on the label, sometimes it will talk about the ethical standards and how they treat their animals. You can see that when you’re choosing foods from a source of love, you’re choosing foods that will love you back. In turn, we won’t want to choose foods that are chemically made, that are made in some plant, that are made to hurt our children and our loved ones that cause unhealthy addictions. We just wouldn’t want to do that anymore because we really start to understand and accept that food is love and we want foods that love us back. Food is not the problem. Stop denying it. Stop looking at it like something that you discipline yourself with. It is something that nourishes you and makes you feel good, gives you energy, and helps you show up to be the woman you’ve always wanted to be. Your action tip is really easy this week. All I want you to do, is start looking at food as love. When you’re choosing foods to eat, I want you to remember this conversation we had, about how I talked about how food is love and choosing foods that love you back because you deserve love. In our video next week, we’re going to talk about how not emotionally eating, is like having emotionless sex. It’s almost impossible. I’m going to teach you how to really welcome your emotions to the table. Before you go, I want to hear from you.
