Restoring Our Relationship With OURSELVES - Self Sabotage - Part 2

One way we know whether or not emotional eating is a problem for us personally is when it becomes self destructive. Self sabotage is a concept that I see happen alot within my client base and have also experienced it's power first hand in my own weight loss journey. In keeping with our theme of FEELING our emotions instead of FEEDING them, sometimes we forget to give ourselves time and space to process our emotions that are specifically involved with our weight loss, health and fitness journey. This journey is a hard one and it's easy for us to focus on the physical transformation that happens to our bodies BUT we need to give our minds and hearts time and space to process and adapt to the physical transformation. Self worth, value, identity and guilt, just to name a few, are some big emotions you may have to navigate through as you make your way toward your health and fitness goals. Your brain is a powerful organ so being on this journey of restoring your relationship with yourself may just help you overcome some of the classic self sabotage markers that many find themselves trapped in. Knowledge is power so being grounded and knowing yourself well can go a long way in preventing self destruction from emotional eating.
