Wanting a healthy relationship
with food and your body?
Have you tried to change, but found yourself falling into old habits, such as:
Constantly fighting with your weight
Feeling guilty when you eat
Focusing too much on what you eat
Inflexible rules about food
If so, you’re not alone; many people struggle with disordered eating (e.g. Anorexia, Bulimia, Binge Eating, Emotional Eating, Overeating). Although eating issues come in different forms, what they have in common is that they negatively impact your quality of life.
You’ve likely made numerous attempts to change, but for reasons that may not be clear to you, something keeps getting in the way.
Why you feel stuck
We understand that there are good reasons why you are stuck in a cycle of disordered eating.
Your current issues with eating might be related to having neglected your own needs: you’ve put so much energy into caring for others that you are last on the list of priorities.
Your attempts to control your food or weight might be related to pushing away difficult feelings or to seeking comfort when you feel lonely or bored.
Your success at controlling your weight initially makes you feel better about yourself. Unfortunately, while it might start as a way of gaining confidence, over time it can become a source of anxiety.
You feel desperate to lose weight but find that common, extreme measures inadvertently set you up for failure.
Given that people often experience both costs and benefits from the same behaviors, it’s normal to sometimes feel ambivalent about change. This may be a source of tension with people in your life; they may only see the costs of the behavior and get frustrated when change is slow or doesn’t happen or when you slip back into old habits.
We provide effective psychological and dietary treatment to help you make lasting changes.
