Can't Stop Thinking About Food. And the same goes for food thoughts Instead of trying not to think about food try. How about an hour later.
As the Clinical Director of an eating disorder treatment center I meet people every day who say they cannot stop thinking about food. Then the food demon takes over and makes you overeat and gain back all the weight. It takes time to feel comfortable allowing forbidden foods back into our life particularly if youve immersed in diet culture for many years.
The fear that comes up when you start to think about changing your eating patterns.
Awhile back I wrote a piece about how the only way to deal with emotional eating is to stop worrying about ending it and start worrying about developing new coping mechanisms. It is a preoccupation with food weight numbers etc. Food restriction alone can also play a. Its not about training yourself to eat less or finding more distraction from eating.
