THE RELATIONSHIP YOU have with your food can be a joy or it can be a source of pain and frustration, of love or hate. “Why can't I lose weight? Why can't I stop eating foods I know are not good for me?”, you may lament. It’s human nature to want to make sense of a situation, to understand and assign fault, to apportion blame when something isn't working or how you expect it to be. This can include self-image: your shape, weight and overall appearance.
Often, women blame themselves for having no self-discipline or willpower, or they assign blame to their poor metabolism or lack of motivation. Perhapstowards the very things you are trying to give up. Comfort eating creeps in even more as you feel a deep sense of shame and frustration at not being able to turn down or avoid foods you might be trying hard to give up.
