Deep dives
Recognizing Feelings of Guilt After Eating
One common sign that your relationship with food may need improvement is feeling guilty every time you eat something deemed 'bad.' This guilt often stems from judgment and can lead to further negative eating patterns like overeating or binging, creating a cycle that impacts your mental and physical well-being.
Discrepancy in Eating Habits Based on Setting
Another key indication of an unhealthy relationship with food is the difference in your food choices when alone versus with others. You may opt for healthier foods in social settings but indulge in 'bad' foods in private, driven by a fear of judgment or a desire to maintain a certain image, resulting in shame and inconsistent eating patterns.
Engaging in Last Supper Mentality
A common behavior signaling an unbalanced relationship with food is the 'last supper mentality,' where you indulge excessively before a planned period of restrictive eating. This mindset often leads to binge eating, driven by the belief that you won't have access to certain foods in the future, perpetuating a cycle of extremes and unhealthy eating habits throughout the week.
