Your worth is not attached to your weight *
Perhaps you…
Set out to lose a few pounds but now you can’t stop
Feel terrified of gaining weight
Obsessively weigh yourself, and the way your weight goes, your mood goes
Feel intense guilt after meals
Cannot stop thinking about food
Have lost weight but are still not satisfied with how you look
Avoid eating at restaurants because choosing a meal off a menu causes anxiety
Feel like exercise is less of a choice and more something you must do
In therapy we…
Figure out what feels so scary about weight gain and decrease that fear
Slowly incorporate more food into your daily eating
Identify and change beliefs and behaviors about food and your body that maintain your restriction cycle
Improve self-worth, outside of your weight and food choices
Learn skills to cope with emotions in a healthy way
Try a variety of new food
Explore what underlying need restriction is meeting and find a new way to meet it
