If you find yourself struggling to just have one bite, or keep all foods in the house, or be around food that you don't 'normally' eat or 'make room for' or 'track' then there's a few things you can focus on to begin resolving this behavior

First and foremost, it is an unfair expectation to say that you will just have one bite if every time those turn into overeating or binging. If nothing changes, then nothing changes

Setting intentions, changing your environment, practicing mindful eating at every meal, and connecting with your goals every day is a good start.

Of course, it is not enough to just change behaviors, we also need to change your thought patterns so that the behavior changes are even more effective. Researchers have determined that while behavior modification can make a massive impact in negative patterns and experiences it is even more sustainable when cognitive changes are made as well

With that said, reevaluate your goals, take time to understand where your current behaviors began and why they have continued, be willing to be objective and consider your lifestyle and if it truly is aligned with the way you want to live for years to come or how you want to pursue your fitness or competition goals. 

It can be hard to let go of old ways and embrace new ways of thinking or behaving but it is important to understand that the pressure you face day to day worrying about 'messing up' is so much more intense and painful than working through these patterns

I recommend you get help through this. You may not be able to see the blind spots or know the best way to work through them. Whether or not you choose to work with me, I encourage you to work with someone who understands your goals and lifestyle so you don't feel like you have to give up your passions to improve your relationship with food

I have developed my Food Relationship Healing and Discovery Program specifically to work with competitors, athletes, and women on a mission to live their healthiest lifestyle.

As a competitor myself, I know how important it is to be able to follow through on your program and show up for your goals every day. The last thing I would have you do is give up something you love. But, we will explore your relationship with food using my PTG process and work intensively together 1:1 every day for the 5 weeks of this program.
