DOES TRACKING CALORIES AND NUTRIENTS FEEL LIKE IT IS CONTROLLING YOUR LIFE?
​
Perhaps you started calorie counting to support your weight change goals, perhaps it was to learn more about what is in your food or perhaps it was just out of curiosity; and now you can't seem to stop tracking, no matter how hard you try? Like any behaviour that feels compulsive, tracking is serving a function (even if it doesn't feel like it is right now). This course gives you the tools to gently, with self compassion and non judgement, unearth what that function is, how to overcome the urge to tot up numbers on an app or in your mind and cope with the emotions that come up (usually anxiety) in the messy middle of ceasing tracking.
DO YOU FEEL THAT NO MATTER WHAT YOU TRY YOU:
​
-
Experience anxiety at the thought of not being able to track your food intake or follow a set meal plan.
​
-
Always look at the menu before going out to eat or avoid going out altogether.
​
-
Revert back to tracking intake even if you tell yourself that you won't.
​
-
Spend a lot of time and energy planning meals and snacks and mentally adding you numbers in your mind.
TAKE A BREATH AND VISUALISE THIS:
​
-
You feel free to go out to eat and be cooked for; as well as eating freshly baked foods that don't show their energy content.
​
-
You are learning to tune into your body's hunger and satiety signals and feed it adequately and regularly. You offer yourself compassion if you mis-read the signals at any point.
​
-
You understand your triggers to tracking and have a tool box of coping skills and practises to turn to if you feel an urge to track.
​
-
You dedicate a small amount of time to preparing nourishing foods and have more capacity to explore new hobbies, perform self care and build a supportive community.
