Does the Non-Diet Approach Mean Letting Go of All Control?
It's a common misconception that embracing a non-diet approach means throwing all caution to the wind and losing control over your health and well-being. This myth often stems from the belief that without strict rules and limitations, we'll spiral into chaos.
🚫 Why this myth is unhelpful:
This myth can trigger feelings of anxiety and uncertainty and ultimately stop you from getting the support you need for your binge eating.
For many, the thought of letting go of dieting feels like stepping into the unknown—a place that feels vulnerable. It's normal to worry about what will happen if you no longer have strict rules to follow or a number on the scale to chase.
But this myth will keep you trapped in a cycle of fear and self-doubt, preventing you from a compassionate and sustainable approach to eating.
The truth is, the non-diet approach isn't about losing control; it's about reclaiming autonomy over your health. It's about learning to trust yourself to make nourishing choices without the constant pressure of perfection. It's about promoting a neutral relationship with food and your body, where kindness and self-care take priority over rigid rules, restrictions and numbers.
