Eating Anxiety

Do you feel you are thinking about food all the time? Are you ever worried that the last meal you ate was too big, and you start beating up on yourself? Do you have a list of safe foods that you like to eat when you feel fat?

Eating Anxiety can be overwhelming as you feel that all you do is think about food, eating, your weight and how others see you. You might be feeling quite exhausted and tired of the ongoing thoughts in your mind.

There may be times when you become distracted, and the day feels like a good day because you thought less about food. You may have certain behaviours or rituals, which are a secret and nobody else knows about.

You may get anxious when socialising with friends. Will there be pressure to eat, will you break a food rule during a meal?

Missing an exercise session may create anxiety for you, and you react by cutting back heavily on the food you eat that day. You may weigh yourself often and fear putting on weight.

You may be very conscious of your body image, and worry how clothes look on you.

Treatment

Our Eating Therapists will help you look at the big picture of your thoughts and eating behaviour, and create a path to calm and relax your mind.

We will help you create optimal blood sugar and brain chemistry levels through the food you are eating. This will help to level your moods, calm your mind, give you more energy and allow you to see things more positively.

We will explore your food rules and beliefs around eating. We will show you how to create new ways of thinking that create new positive feelings. In time, you will notice your anxiety start to disappear, a bit like sunshine breaking up a cloudy sky.

Your feelings about the way you look will start to change as you start to see life through this new positive perspective. You will notice that you are able to make decisions about food, eating and exercise that only take up a little time in your day, leaving you to really enjoy life.
