It really works!
I have been coaching a middle-aged woman, “Susan” (not her real name), for six months to help her overcome a binge eating. I use a strategy of focusing on health and wellness, not weight loss.
I developed this program over the last three years to help people struggling with eating disorders (like anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder). In this program, we address disordered eating by incorporating a wellness program into treatment, concentrating on physical, spiritual, social, emotional, occupational, and financial aspects of wellness.
Patients are asked complete wellness logs every week and only complete food logs once a month. Most individuals who struggle with their eating behaviors or patterns have been logging their food daily for years, so this is quite a change in focus.
