Why Don’t I Stick To The Rules of My Diet? | CWM EP 336

Do you unconsciously sabotage your own health goals? In this episode, Matty examines why we often rebel against diet rules and how it relates back to our inner child that wants to resist external control and oppression. This is what we covered in this episode:Diet rules come from an authoritative perspective which can trigger rebellion in our inner child. We want to rebel against external control and exert our own agency - this often plays out through food choices.Why having and letting go of control is integral to our relationship with foodShift away from the parent/child dynamic to a mutual adult respect for your own health and wellbeing. View healthy living not as a set of oppressive rules, but a lifelong choice to honor yourself.***PROGRAM ENQUIRIES: Tired of yo-yo dieting and feeling stuck with food?
