What would you need to change in your relationships in order to heal your relationship with food?

It’s generally not about food.  It’s your relationships that may be out of balance.  You then turn to or away from food or other addictive substances to deal with these painful emotions that surface when you have to face these negative relationships.  In order to change your relationship with food, you have to address the core issues.  For many, it is their relationship with people, money or the need to have “things” as a substitute for dealing with the issue at hand.  What do you need to change?

Your Relationship with Food Parallels Every Other Relationship in Your Life.

How is your relationship with food similar to your relationship with people, things, money, sexuality, drugs, alcohol and other addictive substances?  Do you over work or over spend?  When was the last time you treated yourself to something special because you felt you deserved it? Do you binge on people..and then find that you do not want anyone near you?  Is one drink not enough?
