Weight-Loss Apocalypse

The second book available in print!!!!! Two down, two more to go..... "In this book, author Robin Phipps Woodall builds on the significant discussion of body image from her first book, Thin Supremacy. Here she expands further to explore the overwhelming—and sometimes traumatic or even tragic—impact that negative body image has on dieting and emotional eating.  From the viewpoint of evolutionary psychology, in Diet Supremacy, Woodall illustrates how fears of social stigma, based on body fat, trigger primitive survival mechanisms that motivate people to seek safety and control through forms of “diet supremacy.” The toxic bond between negative body image and dieting while surrounded by abundance of food, promotes the angst and strain responsible for increasing one’s feeling of deprivation. The result is an increase in cravings, perceived hunger, and the impulsive drive to eat excessively. This is an important topic every weight-loss business, dieter, emotional eater, and eating disor...

EVERY PERSON STRUGGLING TO RECOVERY FROM AN EATING DISORDER NEEDS TO WATCH THIS SESSION: There is a point in the process of escaping thin supremacy when you have no where to go but to either jump into the predictable cycle of suffering, or to surrender and accept the reality of what you don't know. For many people, they'd rather accept a life of suffering because it's what they know, even though it is a life of horrific darkness that they wouldn't wish for their worst enemies. This is why, to the observer, eating disorders seem to be something people will suffer with their entire life. But, when this point of CHOICE is apparent, it's clear people choose suffering over what seems like pain. AGAIN, it's assumed a life with body fat would be painful. IT'S AN ASSUMPTION. For many people, a guarantee of suffering is more appealing than the gamble of life in psychological pain. RECORDED MARCH 2018 #emotionaleating #bodyimage #eatingdisorder #ana #anorexia #bulimia...

THIS IS SUCH A GOOOOOOOOOD SESSION! Watch until the end! In this session I discuss Maslow's hierarchy and survival mode that is discussed in the Thin Supremacy series of books. This client is starting to see the idea of thin supremacy as a belief rather than a truth. This is HUGE in the escape and recovery process from an eating disorder.

This client is seriously struggling. She is realizing she's trying to use the hunger scale as a diet in order to prevent weight gain. Because of this, she is continuing to feel perfectionistic pressure to restrict and consequently, she's over eating. The diet-binge-diet cycle continues over and over and over again. Robin is trying to help her have the grace needed to reduce guilt and shame about it. They also connect the dots to the victim position as a main source promoting the issues she has with her body, with dieting, with food, and with everything.

This client is struggling to forgive herself for bingeing and purging again. After having a period of time in freedom, she is feeling shame because she went back into suffering. The goal is to accept the truth of the process, and to recognize it isn't ALL or NOTHING. The struggle to surrender thin supremacy body image can take time and repeated ins and outs of dieting, suffering, bingeing, suffering, purging, suffering, and dieting again. GIVE YOURSELF GRACE!!!! Do the best you can and refuse to feel sorry for yourself.

She jumped onto another round of Dr. Simeons' hCG protocol impulsively, and she's back suffering and feeling sorry for herself for having to restrict food. The cycle between--- rejecting the body and dieting to be thinner, to rejecting the diet and accepting weight gain in order to eat--- is a pendulum swing that is MISERABLE. This all-or-nothing victim and martyr drama triangle is where many people become depressed and hopeless over time.

She is earnestly working on accepting the truth of her body, and surrendering the concept of thin supremacy. In this session, Robin discusses the problem with hoping the body won't gain weight or that the body will eventually be thinner when eating to hunger. This is a common stepping stone toward eventually letting it all go. Holding onto hope, holds onto continued suffering, worry about food, body checking, and continued focus and effort towards chasing the mirage of a superior body image.

IN the process of separating herself from the culture of thin supremacy, she struggles to understand how she's should relate to her body with respect to exercise, and living in her body. She used to do spin classes to lose weight, but she also really liked the way doing cardio feels. Can she do physical activity without the underlying desire to be thinner and to lose weight?

This client has done the hCG protocol multiple times, and like most people, had an incredible experience the first time around. She has done many rounds since, and reached out to Robin to help recover her mind and body from the insane all-or-nothing roller coaster ride. After a few sessions, she impulsively started another round because she felt "fat."

After having her mind opened, and seeing the cultural beliefs of "thin supremacy", this mom is realizing she might have raised her kids to think the same "supremacy" sort of way. As she's letting that belief system go, she is hoping she can help her kids see they don't have to hold themselves to such unrealistic standards, just to feel good about themselves. As a parent, can you forgive yourself for doing what you thought was the right thing to do, the moment you realize it was more harmful than you thought?

She is struggling to accept the feelings of negativity about her body if she isn't thinner. However, it is very clear to her that she doesn't want to diet ever again. This is a difficult place to sit, because without accepting the truth of the body, the only alternative is to go back into the suffering of having to focus and fixate on food and the condition of your body. This illusion that life with the truth of the body will be in shame and hiding, is a step that all people go through in order to experience the freedom of recovery.

She found Robin searching for help on YouTube. After 4 years, she finally decided to reach out for help. This is our 90 minute consult. We discuss the suffering that is experienced when a person is trapped inside an eating disorder, and the excruciating process of letting it go and escaping. This is a GREAT session for people who are studying this as a syndrome...Robin describes this in the third book of the Thin Supremacy series-- Body Supremacy: Exploring the Torment of Eating Disorders as a Syndrome.

This teenager has suffered with anorexia and exercise bulimia for a couple of years and is seeking help. We discuss the illusion and fantasy body images promoted on Instagram and other social media. She is working on allowing her body to determine when and how much she eats through the use of the hunger and fullness scale. This scale is described in the fourth book in the Thin Supremacy series, Life After Supremacy: Renewing the relationship with Your Body and Food (TO BE PUBLISHED JANURARY 2021).

TRIGGER WARNING: Robin holds up a strong and brutal mirror...an abrupt and harsh reality of telling the truth. This is very difficult for people who suffer with eating disorders to do, and often people want to be enabled--which perpetuates the disorder. When people come to Robin for help, she takes the role of holding a strict NO-LIE and bullshit boundary. This is imperative to escaping the body image and disorder to access recovery. Without strict responsibility to the TRUTH, nothing changes. In order to make change, it is imperative the person suffering is willing to tell themselves the truth, and having a person hold them to it, gives them a sense of freedom and safety to do it for themselves. Often, coaches and therapists are too lenient with lying or aren't aware forms of denial are actually occurring. The result of having a strong rejection of denial by Robin, the client is put in a position to actually make change and ultimately recovery. For this client, after experiencin...

This is an AWESOME session where we discuss what happens when the survival coping mechanisms are removed once a person escapes body image, diet image, and then experiences freedom on the other side. This content is discussed in the third book of the Thin Supremacy series... Body Supremacy: Exploring the Torment of Eating Disorders as a Syndrome. Robin discusses survival mode, the behavioral symptoms of that  mode, and what it feels like when those impulses are removed by changing perspective and witnessing the truth of reality.
