Yes!

Because… Where is the pleasure of eating?

Where is the freedom of making food preferences?

If you eat in order to lose weight…

If you use food very often to reduce negative thoughts or feelings…

If you have a negative body image…

(Negative body image can lead to dieting or Emotional Eating)

In fact…

1- Dieting is not the solution: You can’t follow food rules all the time!

2- Exclusive Emotional Eating is not the solution: You can’t find comfort in food all the time!

3- Your body becomes the enemy: You start to hate your body – body depreciation

So…

You feel lost

You lose control

You eat “forbidden” fatty/sugary foods

You eat too fast, not mindfully

You end up over eating

You feel guilty

You fear putting on weight

You feel bad about yourself

You Start over

Vicious Circles….
