Weight-Loss Apocalypse

In this session, we discuss the incessant thoughts and focus on achieving a "healthy" body. The pursuit of health and/or thinness is NOT freedom. It is pursuing an idea of freedom, through an image of the body that requires your mind fixate on the means and methods that ultimately take away freedom. If in order to be thinner or "healthy," you must be dedicate your mind to continuous thoughts and focus on what that will take....is your life healthy?

FOR PEOPLE TRYING TO EAT WITHOUT DIET REGULATION After accepting her body (she weighs over 200 pounds) she is learning how to relate to food without dieting and bingeing. Learning to listen to how the body regulates the need for food through hunger is an important guiding mechanism. Robin describes the hunger scale and how important it is when leaving the culture of thin supremacy and diet supremacy. Here are links to the youtube videos Robin references, that describe the hormone leptin that explains how hunger works. https://youtu.be/xiqs4MDFQ2w https://youtu.be/jVCIWZ-WFc4 If you search for titles that include "hunger scale" you will find more content.

IMPORTANT FOR THOSE SEEKING RECOVERY BUT STRUGGLING TO ACCEPT WEIGHT GAIN...This is a deep conversation going step-by-step through letting go of the narcissistic supply that being thinner provides most people who suffer with anorexic leaning eating disorders. I guide her through what it would feel like to be released from having to perform and stand out with the perfect body. She gets a sense of what it feels like to be liberated and free to be less "superior" and to blend into the background as a "normal" person.

How many of you worry about your weight, food, dieting, and not dieting...but feel paralyzed to do anything about it? And do you end up eating more in stress about it all? This client is struggling to see clearly the link between the shame she has about her body fat and her urges to over eat. This session is a great discussion on fear, anxiety, stress about food and dieting, and self-worth. She has come soooooo far!

This is our first session after the 90 minute consult. We are going deeper into how perceived threat with an internal sense of weakness trigger survival mechanisms, and the physical and psychological reaction to fight, freeze, of run and hide in fear. This reaction is why people seek refuge with body image and dieting as part of those mechanisms. Throughout this session we link the steps to escape and recover to facing accepting those fears, accepting the consequences, and not expecting a reward in return...except freedom. By accepting what you fear, there is no reward in escaping and avoiding that result.

She has suffered with an eating disorder for a long time and has been in treatment off and on. While in treatment her disordered behavior shifted between bulimia to anorexia and then back to bulimia. Her obsession with being thin has made her life a living hell and she's reached out hoping to get some relief. This is our initial 90 minute consult, and I describe the real issue with body image and the eating disorder as a consequence. Getting to the root of the problem that isn't about food, dieting, bingeing, etc is important when wanting to get relief from the disorder. You will need to escape the syndrome.

With Covid 19 keeping people in their homes, more people are signing up to do another round of the hCG protocol. Without addressing underlying issues, these people unknowingly are signing up for more emotional eating. ...This Client found me searching for information about Dr. Simeons' hCG protocol and immediately connected to the YouTube videos about emotional eating. This is our initial 90 minute consult and we discuss emotional eating and issues with cheating on the hCG protocol. She reached out for help in the middle of an hCG protocol round, struggling to following the food restrictions. She's had success with the hCG protocol in the past, and has found her emotional eating and spiraled out of control.

Connecting the dots between emotional eating and binge eating to the enabling idea that a future diet will guarantee weight loss is important when understanding your behavior. Without a way to fix the weight gain of over eating, people would spend more time sitting with the emotions they don't want to feel. We discuss the way she positions herself to be a victim, and how that is a big trigger for her to seek refuge with food...especially when she feels insecure with her husband and marriage.

At the start of this session we discuss how this work is very different than what people expect when they reach out for Robin's help...which makes sense when the way they think is the problem, and a new way of thinking is often the solution. We talk about the role that survival mode played in her impulses to binge and eat emotionally, and her desires to diet and lose weight. Letting those coping mechanisms go, means she will need to face the fear and underlying survival threats that seem like the grim reaper.
