This week, declare your independence from others controlling your body and pretending to know what foods are right for it in what amounts and with what frequency.
How do you declare your independence? You can look in the mirror and say it to yourself. You can write a letter from you to anyone who would tell you what to do to lose weight. You can make a sign about your independence and freedom from others’ demands on your body.
This week, do something to make it clear that your body is yours and that no one can tell you how to eat for weight loss.
As Dr. Jon Robison says:
“Don’t let anyone (that’s right – anyone!) tell you how to eat, what to eat or how much to eat to lose weight. We all have wonderful, intricate mechanisms to help us to know how much to eat to maintain a healthy weight. No set of rules, guidelines or regulations experts can propose comes close to the precision of the complex interactions among hunger, appetite and satiety that naturally help us regulate our food these internal signals by following endless sets of external ones (Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, The Food Pyramid, etc) is likely to result in more rather than less disordered eating. A growing body of research suggests that adults and children who diet are more likely to gain extra weight as they get older than those who don’t.”
