Abuse and eating may be linked but steps toward healing can be taken

  Many studies have linked physical, sexual and emotional abuse in childhood to an increased risk of obesity, binge eating and other eating disorders in adulthood. This connection seems particularly strong in women. Today I read a study (1), and corresponding press release (2), which found that women who experienced severe physical or sexual abuse [...]

When we slip back into body criticism how can we recover?

  Yesterday my friend and mentor, Lisa Lister, wrote a beautiful blog post, Every body has a story, which touched me deeply. In the post Lisa writes: “I’m a size 18/20 and I’m hot. I have a gorgeous friend who is a size 8, she’s hot too. Society would like to label us ‘fat’ and [...]

Practise wise compassion, rather than idiot compassion

  Today I read a fantastic blog post by Lisa Clark, of Sassyology.com, about “showing up” and not just concentrating on self love.  The post got me thinking, self love, self nurturance, self care, compassion – these are vitally important things.  I go on and on about them  BUT there does also have to be [...]

Letting go of mentally beating yourself up about your eating

What would it be like to let go of the mental torture associated with your emotional eating? I am not asking you to think about letting go of the eating behaviour itself (you can take this one step at a time!), just to think about what goes with the behaviour.   You eat to cope [...]

Love and accept your whole, precious self

You don’t need the approval of anyone in order to learn to love yourself deeply and completely.  It took me a long time to figure that out!!!  I thought I had to be the ‘do, do do-er’ and the ‘give, give giver’ in order to be worthy of receiving love.  I didn’t realise I was [...]
