from 2022-02-24T00:00
Could the way you feel about your body and attractiveness, be negatively impacting your love life? In this episode, Lyn talks to Cassie Christopher, a dietician and health coach, about the ways in which we can learn to love ourselves and feel better, so we can attract and enjoy healthier, loving relationships.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Quite often any unhealthy relationship with food is connected to our emotional state, and may even be a trauma response.
- We either restrict eating, binge eat or over eat, usually because we want to feel safe, be in control and to numb our feelings, in an effort to try to make ourselves feel better.
- Many women believe that in order to be successful in the dating world, they must be more beautiful and conform to unrealistic 'social standards' regarding their body size and image.
- In the process of healing emotional eating, we must first accept how we feel about ourselves.
- To combat our bad eating habits and enter a place of empowement, we must work on being fully present and aware of how we feel.
- An easy exercise to ground ourselves in the moment, is to focus on our breathing and spend a minute taking some slow deep breaths.
