"...our
relationship to food is an exact microcosm of
our
relationship to life itself".
Geneen Roth states on her website it states that her earliest books
were the
first to make the link between deep personal issues and our habits
around food, dieting, emotional eating and compulsive eating. I
assume she is referring to issue such
as wanting to feel worthy, loved and accepted.
"...that our relationship
to
food, money, love is an exact reflection of our deepest held beliefs
about ourselves and the amount of joy, abundance, pain, scarcity, we
believe we have (or are allowed) to have in our lives".
I was nodding in agreement when I read the next part...
"...our actions and
beliefs make exquisite sense, and that the way to transform our
relationship with food is to be open, curious and kind with
ourselves-instead of punishing, impatient and harsh."
Yes, Yes, Yes! I couldn't agree more. And not just about food but
about all our impulses and behaviors. Be gentle and kind and
forgiving. Treat your inner self like you would a little
child. Give her patience and direction and forgiveness. She
is learning and just trying to feel better.
The last thing our poor little bashed about self/inner child needs is
more ridicule, abuse and rejection. The inner child will make
choices that are not aligned with your conscious desires. Accept
this but delve deeply into the reasons so that you can watch the
patterns and release them rather than add more rubbish on top.
Also, I would add my own personal advice is do not overlook the
physical effects of an inconsistent diet. I have read of people
who are dedicated to having great bodies, and they do, but the also say
the same thing that I notice. That is, if you get too hungry or
thirsty, especially early in the day, then it is almost impossible to
get your blood sugar levels back on an even keel. You MUST have
enough minerals and vitamins early in the day and throughout the day so
your body can stay evenly balanced.
If you get too far down it is impossible in my experience to get back
to even that day...and guess what happens by the late afternoon and
evening? That is when overeating happens and common sense goes
out the window. It happens to everyone regardless of emotional
issues and as I say body builders and athletes know this happens also.
Here are the books and CDs from Geneen Roth, the latest one being
Women, Food and God. Definitely someone with much experience and
can guide you into deeper issues and discovery of your true, authentic
self and experience greater love and self-esteem.
