Part 3 of 3: The Answer Was in Front of Me All Along

(Did you miss Part 1 or Part 2? Click here to read them.)

People with weight problems have denial problems, and I was no exception. I was blinded to my eating behaviors, convinced it was bad genes, my body getting back to a set-point, or other reasons outside my control.

The answer to stepping off the weight loss roller coaster, easing the food noise, and finding a healthier relationship with food was straightforward yet incredibly difficult: eat more.

I know that eating more might seem like a dream come true for those of us who are chronic dieters, but it sent me into a panic.

I felt like I just couldn't eat more.

  • Eating more meant weight gain.
  • Eating more meant less calories/points later for when I really needed them, like at night before bed.
  • Eating more was for other people, not me, with my broken metabolism. I was destined for a life of food misery.

But I also knew I couldn't keep going like I was, so I was willing to try. (I had tried everything else, so why not prove this strategy wrong?)

This wasn't an instant solution.

Instead, it required a gradual shift of eating more during the day, and less at night before bed or on the weekends.

I moved from the wild roller coaster of food restriction and binges to my food intake looking more like a rolling river, with a few ups and downs, but mostly steady.

  • I ate bigger, healthier breakfasts.
  • I started eating real lunches - no more skimpy turkey sandwiches on diet bread.
  • I got to splurge on a real dessert sometimes instead of a diet fudge bar.

I went back to therapy to work on my bitterness. I learned that my high food interest and awareness are likely genetic, and there's nothing wrong with me.

I've come to accept that I need firm boundaries around food, and that's not a sign of weakness. It's a sign of strength.

Last year, I became a certified Binge Eating Recovery Coach. I was shocked when the teacher told us that most women need at least 2,000 calories per day, and more if they exercise.

I gained deep knowledge on how to recognize undereating, which later leads to overeating and binges.

I grieved the fact that in a land of plenty, so many of us are starving ourselves...and this can be true even if you are overweight.

Women tell me they lack self-control or willpower, but often the opposite is true.

Overweight women have SO MUCH self-control that they manage to live hungry for days, weeks, or years, until their body's primal hunger takes over.

The cycle continues, and the shame increases...but a solution is right there for the taking.

As a weight loss coach, the ultimate irony is that undereating is the biggest weight loss mistake I see, and I see it daily.

Our food supply, which is rich with addictive, ultra-processed foods, plus our lonely yet busy lifestyle, makes it incredibly easy to fall into unhealthy food patterns.

Weight loss shots like GLP-1s are one possible solution to the food noise, but they aren't the only way. Weight loss meds are one tool in the weight loss toolbox, but whether you choose to use them or not, fixing your food habits is still necessary.

If you've felt stuck, overwhelmed, or like a weight loss failure, this is a solution you won't want to miss:
