I Deconstructed from Diet Cult(ure)

LeAnne — Fri, 28 Oct 2022 19:10:08 +0000

Diet Cult(ure) had me literally beating the shit out of myself.

The frustration of nothing ever working long term.

The heaviness of never being thin enough.

The defeat of numbers going down then up.

The dysmorphia of your reflection changing in every mirror or window.

The confusion of good food/bad food changing at a head spinning rate….

I finally gave up. The madness got to be to much and the years of crying out for help ended when I stopped and learned to just be present….I finally started healing.

I learned how to make peace with food. To not believe the mirror. The scale got tossed. I took self care seriously, deeply, intimately and embraced the help I needed. Learning not only to help myself, but others.

My defeat and disillusionment turned to hope, freedom…then anger and heartache when I realized I am not alone. I know this story is not just mine. The battle within is real but it cannot be won with outside sources. It’s not about the food, it’s not about the scale, it’s not about how much you exercise..it is about learning to extinguish the lies, to heal from the chaotic rules Diet Cult(ure) continues to throw at us. It is about finding a safe place within, trusting ourselves and listening to the still small voice that is ours alone, speaking love, acceptance, freedom and a full life.

Ups & Downs Are Normal

We often need the reminder that weight and size can fluctuated throughout the day, week, month and even year (s).

Feelings and emotions can take us on a wild ride if we agree to it.

It happens to all of us. Especially when weight, body image/dysmorphia and food phobias have plagued us for years ( or decades).

Today was my day. I didn’t sleep well last nite, which does not help!

But I am thankful for the reminder that this happens cuz I want to remain connected to areas I know I needed help with so I can be there to help you.

Ups and downs are normal and to be expected. How we address them can be absolutely transformational.

Our minds and hearts hold amazing power to eliminate our triggers, fears, and limited beliefs and find freedom, wholeness and sincere self love and acceptance.

We all deserve to live life fully and free from the devastating effects of Diet Cult(ure).

Feel free to message me for any questions or inquiries. I appreciate hearing feedback and all your comments!

Protect Your Process

LeAnne — Wed, 12 Oct 2022 18:33:14 +0000

When you are in the midst of learning to love yourself, free yourself of food addictions, or self shame; it is not only OK, but necessary to turn off the outside voices and influences that are not supporting your new narrative.

Unfollow

Block

Silence

Mute

Any and all accounts on social media that cause any disrupt to your mental wellbeing or intentional healing.

It is FOR you, Not AGAINST them.

Setting boundaries with friends and family is another area you most certainly need to address when on your healing, unlearning, relearning and deconstruction journey.

I will talk more about that in another post, but for now, go through your social media feed and honestly cut out all that cause any kind of negative responses in you. You deserve this!

If you have any questions, please reach out to me in my dms, I check regularly.

It’s NOT About The Food

It’s NOT about the food.

You read this and heard this before, but somewhere inside, you don’t believe it, or are completely stuck as to how it can’t be about the food….or exercise.

A lifetime of controlling eating, calories, good/bad foods and energy output has been the “go to”, but it never lasts and requires more and more effort. Will power is exhausted and has left us feeling defeated and/or hopeless.

Real change and freedom is not alone about Mindset; it’s deeper and more profound, it’s a Heartset.

Addressing our limiting beliefs, underlying emotions (fear, anger, shame, grief etc) and elimating them (forever & completely) we can and will experience the freedom life flow we are so desperately longing for.

It is not as far fetched, difficult or impossible as you might think.

There is freedom from Diet Cult(ure).

I have Deconstructed, so can you.
