Everywhere, April 2011— A nutritionist named Dr. Wayne Andersen has made public his “9 Tips on How to Change Your Relationship with Food.” Obesity is an ongoing issue in the United States. The way you look at food has a lot to do with your diet. In order to lose weight, the good doctor, founding of Take Shape for Life (www.TSFL.com) says you must change your relationship with food and the way you look at yourself. Here they are: 1. Write down your current reality…where you think you are right now in your body and mind. Then look ahead to where you want to be … (examples: more energy, eating healthy, feeling great, metabolically fit? Write these thoughts down in a journal. 2. Examine and challenge your basic beliefs about foods that are holding you back from getting down to your desired weight and health. 3. Redefine yourself as someone who eats healthy and exercises regularly. Imagine a “new you” and begin to “be” that person. 4. Stop using foods for non-nutrient purposes and learn other ways to cope with stress. 5. Allow yourself to grieve over the loss of your unhealthy eating habits and then let it go! 6. Eat only at planned meal times and planned snack times. 7. Don’t focus on the scale and start focusing on healthy behavior and lifestyle. 8. Get away from those “I wish I were thinner” comments and work to make you the best you can be. No comparing allowed! 9. Write down your goals for where you want to be in 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year. Write this down in that journal of yours. Then stick with it. (And if you’ve a child or other loved one in your life, alter this nine-step program for them as well.) To find out more about these issues, visit www.TSFL.com.
