Many people wonder if their extra weight is really just a byproduct of loving food. These people just love watching cooking shows, reading cookbooks, and cooking. Food can feel like a hobby, an interest or even a passion. But does that make "just loving food" a legitimate rationale for overeating? If that's the common reason you hear in your head about why you overeat read the tip of the week.
It's normal to love food. It's normal to be passionate about food. It's normal to want to taste new things and cook different recipes. But that doesn't make it a good excuse for overeating. Here's why: When you hear the voice that says, "I just love food," you can be pretty certain that there is a childlike part of yourself at work. This is nothing to be ashamed of. We all have childlike parts of ourselves. It's a childlike part because the child wants to keep tasting the food despite the long term effects. They can't understand what will happen if they live on pizza alone or eat six chocolate bars a day. Therefore, it's the parents' responsibility to put guidelines on what their children eat. In the same way, we need to tell the childlike part of ourselves that just because we love the taste of something doesn't mean we can eat so much of it or eat it every single day. As you put these limitations on yourself, you will start to feel safer and more in charge, you will lose the weight, and you will actually come to love food even more as you respect how special it really is.
