Well, I’m here to show you how to step off that tumultuous diet ride and head down the path towards lasting healthy eating habits.
In this journey, we won’t be counting calories or obsessing over scales. Instead, we’ll explore three profound keys – the Inner Critic, the Inner Boss, and the Inner Higher Self. These are the 3 gatekeepers to a healthier relationship with food and your body.
I’m sharing about this because I am a bestselling wellness author of the longevity book Life is Long: 50+ Tips To Live A Little Closer To Forever.
Plus I founded the nutritionist recommended online program The Stop Emotional Eating Course.
I am committed to helping people to live their healthiest lives.
Coming up we will dive deep into each of the 3 keys to getting off the weight loss rollercoaster. We’ll explore how these keys influence your eating habits, body image, and overall relationship with yourself.
Imagine a tiny, overzealous editor living inside your head, armed with a red pen, ready to underline every so-called ‘flaw’ or ‘mistake’ you make. This is your Inner Critic. It’s the voice that chides you for having that extra slice of pizza or for not fitting into jeans from a decade ago. This critic isn’t just nitpicky. It’s relentless and often bases its judgments on unrealistic, socially constructed ideals.
The Inner Critic doesn’t just whisper in your ear; it shouts, impacting how you see food and your body. It turns meals into moral dilemmas – is this ‘good’ or ‘bad’? This dichotomous thinking is psychologically taxing. It can lead to a strained relationship with food, where eating becomes a source of stress rather than nourishment and joy.
When it comes to body image, the Inner Critic can be a real bully. It distorts your self-perception, often leading to a negative body image. This isn’t just about feeling uncomfortable in your skin. It’s a deep-seated issue that can affect your overall mental health, leading to anxiety, depression, and unhealthy eating patterns.
It’s time to put this critic in its place.
Now, meet the Inner Boss – the part of you that’s confident, decisive, and rooted in self-respect. This is the voice that says, “I choose what’s best for me.” Unlike the Inner Critic, the Inner Boss is empowering, helping you to make choices that align with your well-being.
The Inner Boss is pivotal in sustainable lifestyle changes. It’s not swayed by fad diets or societal pressures. Instead, it helps you make choices based on what truly nourishes your body and soul. This is about long-term health, not just short-term appearances.
How do you empower this boss?
Your Inner Higher Self is the guru part of your mind. It’s the part of you that embodies wisdom, compassion, and a deep connection to your core values. It sees beyond temporary cravings or societal standards to what truly matters – your overall well-being.
The Inner Higher Self understands that your relationship with food and your body is about more than just aesthetics. It’s a reflection of your relationship with yourself. This wisdom helps in creating a balanced, fulfilling approach to eating and self-care.
To tap into this wisdom, start with introspection.
Breaking free from the diet roller coaster isn’t about silencing one voice in favor of another. It’s about creating a harmonious choir. The Inner Critic, Boss, and Higher Self each play a vital role in this symphony of self-discovery.
You’re at a party, eyeing the dessert table.
It’s this triad of voices, each contributing its unique perspective, that guides you towards a balanced, guilt-free decision.
Consider my coaching client Sarah, a chronic yo-yo dieter.
Or take Alex, who struggled with body image.
Addressing our relationship with food and our bodies through these three keys isn’t just a diet strategy. It’s a life strategy. The Inner Critic, Boss, and Higher Self are not just voices in our heads. They are guides on our journey to wholeness.
Remember, this journey isn’t about reaching a destination of perfect eating habits or an ideal body. It’s about ongoing learning, growing, and evolving. It’s about finding joy in nourishment, respect in choices, and peace in being.
You now have these 3 keys to getting off the diet rollercoaster. Now, it’s time for you to unlock the door to your transformation.
