b) That weird questionnaire : this really starts you thinking about behavioural flexibility as discussed by Ben Fletcher. According to Fletcher the more flexible or open minded you are, the more effective you are in food and weight management. Changing all sorts of (bizarre) stuff opens up the possibility that you are in charge of change!
C) the seated mindfulness exercise This approaches weight issues from the perspective of previous trauma or accumulated allostatic( stress) load. This sets out a crucial drill to persuade your primitive brain you are safe. From Widen the Window by Elizabeth Stanley. Please practice this every day, as I’ll need you to own it as a place of safety for a drill we will do later on during the week!!
D) Eat regularly
This is an all too common reflection
“I was working long hours in a demanding position, and I was always putting work first. I’d skip breakfast entirely in my rush to get to the office, and I wouldn’t stop for lunch until early afternoon. By the time I got home in the evenings, I was exhausted and ravenous. Dinner would almost always be a binge, because it felt like the first opportunity I’d had all day not just to eat, but to relax. Those two things became so connected to me. Food was my number-one way to relax.”
This results in the blood sugar level falling very low, and cravings will occur. Persistent overeating can make your insulin response so sensitive that you could be suffering from low blood sugar all the time, leading to fatigue, depression, mood swings, and easy weight gain. Control over blood sugar is an important factor influencing food cravings and weight control.
By eating 6 times daily, starting right at the beginning of the day, you should not get too hungry, your blood sugar level should stabilise, and many of your cravings could be gone.
