This blog post introduces the two extremes of my clients’ journey from food obsession to food freedom. The starting point for many of them is food obsession, constant dieting or yo-yo dieting. This state is represented by Dieting Diana.
The goal state is food freedom, which although can be defined in many ways, is simply the opposite of the above. This is what my clients reach after working with me and it’s represented by Balanced Bianca.
NOTE: I taught an entire class on Diana’s and Bianca’s case study (a.k.a. from food obsession to food freedom) and you can watch the replay HERE if you want to know how to become Balanced Bianka.
In this 1-hour class, I talked about 5 of the most common mistakes that dieters (e.g. Dieting Diana) make that drive them to overeat and how to fix these issues (what Balanced Bianca does). Change these and you are on your way to food freedom.
It’s not the same content that you can read here.
Let’s see how these ladies eat, exercise, think, what they believe and how they relate to food and themselves.
Let me introduce you to Dieting Diana
Diana really wants to have a better relationship with food. She would like to look at food as something just to feed her body and get some pleasure from. She doesn’t want it to be her main source of joy, comfort and reward.
She wants to be able to enjoy food and have fun with her friends and family without thinking about what she’s eating or shouldn’t be eating all the time.
She doesn’t want to think about food as something evil that makes her become out of control.
Sometimes it feels like a monster takes over her body, and she can’t stop eating. She doesn’t even enjoy the food anymore but she just keeps eating.
She knows it’s possible to have a healthy relationship with food while also being at a healthy weight, but it seems really far away.
