After two decades of yo-yo dieting, I was fed up with the constant cycle of weight loss and weight gain. I knew the "right" things to do, but I couldn't seem to find a balance that I could consistently maintain for a lifetime. I decided to explore my thoughts, expectations, self-talk and assumptions about food. Through this process, I uncovered what I truly believed about food. Finally, I was empowered to establish habits that I could follow for a lifetime. Instead of looking for another diet or another workout plan, it’s time to alter your relationship with food for good. The only way to do this is to establish mindful eating habits that you can carry on for the rest of your life. I did it and, for the first time in my life, I’ve taken weight off its pedestal in my head and replaced it with living! If you have ever felt hopeless about your weight or struggled with the up and down rollercoaster of yo-yo dieting, this book will offer you a new perspective and proactive steps to changing your relationship with food. This book is filled with practical steps and interactive questions to get to the bottom of your food issues, to help you figure out why you do what you do and think what you think when it comes to food. The book includes a 50-day interactive journal; practical steps for developing new food habits; guided practice and personal reflections from my own real-life weight journey.
