Have you ever felt you were your enemy? If you can just lose weight, everything will be better, and can you eat whatever you want without consequences?
I felt that way for many as a child and teenager when unresolved trauma and low self-esteem led to a long battle with food and my body.
I struggled with bulimia for over 10 years and started at 12. And while I technically “recovered” in my early 20s, I spent years locked up for years in strict food rules and lingering fear of eating “the wrong thing.”
Up until my 30s I finally felt free with food and really comfortable with my own skin.
Many of us struggle with food in ways that have a big impact on our lives.
We eat for paralysis and then limit ourselves to “makeup”. We are obsessed with each bite or check out completely. We feel embarrassed about habits, discomfort in our bodies, and we don’t know how to break the cycle.
And the worst part? It can consume our lives completely.
When food feels like a source of stress, it is difficult to be completely present. It’s difficult to feel confident. It’s difficult to enjoy anything.
However, changing your relationship with food makes your food feel enjoyable, your body feels like home, and you don’t always judge yourself – everything gets better. Your energy, your self-esteem, your daily happiness.
I lived on both sides of this struggle, so I’m passionate about sharing tools and teachers that help people find the same freedom. And that’s why I’m excited to introduce you (or reintroduce) to one of the earliest contributors of Little Buddha (2011) and one of the sponsors of this month, Jules Clancy.
As a health coach who has become a former food scientist dealing with eating himself, Jules understands both the biology and emotional aspects of food struggle. She offers the following 31 minutes of free training:
The secret to eating what you want and feeling good in your clothes
In this short but powerful workshop, Jules shares.
3 important skills for a naturally healthy relationship with food 6 past efforts have not been working well (so you know now, you know that you are working on it now).
Joule’s approach is warm, realistic and supported by both science and experience. And although she also offers paid programs, free training alone is incredibly insightful and practical.
