I was at work today listening to the women talking about their diets. I mention the psychology of not restricting your food intake as it tends to lead to over eating or binge eating. Straight away one woman sat up and said 'thats true'. She had been attending another weight loss class and the information she was being given was that its ok to eat what you want, just balance and be mindful about what and when you eat. She said she felt free of the bindings of a diet and finally she had a good relationship with food.
Listening to her I gathered there was still some work to do , especially with her alcohol intake, but I was impressed about her new relaxedness about her weight. She had lost 10kg in a month. Meanwhile another women said she couldn't go to weight watchers because she new she had lost weight and could not wait the eat some of her favorite food after her weigh in. Sound familiar, food restriction causes binge eating.
So there you go, just a simple example from daily life. Keep your ears open and you will hear women talk about food and diet and body shape alot of the time. Restriction causes conflict and you cannot think about anything else.
