You wish food wasn’t necessary for survival because it’s so anxiety-provoking to manage it all.
Out of control
Alone
Powerless
You feel out of control from trying to control things. You see people happily eating at restaurants and wish you could sit down to a meal like that, but when you sit down to eat, your mind starts racing, “I am going to eat too much? Am I going to lose control? Can other people see that I’ve lost control?”
You look over at the other’s plate to see how much they’ve eaten to make sure you’re still eating like a normal person. You want to eat more, but you won’t allow to food take control of you here. So you decide that when you get home, you will let yourself eat all that you want. You feel terrible for feeling like this.
You find yourself rigidly counting calories and food portions. You detest eating out with others because you want to control all of the ingredients that go into your body. You can’t stand the way it feels in your body or your clothes if you eat more than you planned. When a friend calls you and asks you to eat dinner out, your heart pounds and you think, “Should I bring my own food? Should I look at the menu first? How am I going to manage the calories?”
Looking in a mirror is hell. All you see are your flaws, all the things you hate about yourself. It’s a huge magnifying glass that zeros in all of your unflattering parts. You see your friends on social media and they look so happy, fit, and healthy. Shame fills you to your core.
You don’t have to live in despair anymore.
At Mindful Living Counseling, we will help you change your relationship with food, so it can become a source of nourishment again. We will help you free yourself from the shackles of shame and disdain so that you can stop hiding and start living.
Control
Confidence
Self-Acceptance
