Have you ever been on a diet? Are you still ‘on a diet’? Given that the average woman spends up to 17 years of her life dieting, and that most only manage to stick to a diet for 4 days, it’s time to realise that you’ve wasted far to many days of your life thinking a diet is the answer to fixing your confidence, health and happiness! Jenny McDonald, also known as The Food Freedom Fairy®, joins me in this powerful episode to discuss the impact of diets and our relationship with food on ourselves and our happiness. She shares her personal journey of struggling with food and how she built her career in the diet industry. But Jenny realised it was time to challenge the traditional narrative of diets after realising why so many women were stuck dieting, never reaching their goal of health and happiness. We explore the impact of emotional eating, the influence of the food and diet industry, and the importance of self-worth and energy alignment in healing our relationship with food. Our conversation supports you to develop a healthy relationship with food, which we recognise for many women is incredibly hard when we’re part of a society that promotes dieting and unhealthy eating habits. In our conversation we talk about: What the diet industry doesn’t want you to know! The impact that diets can have on your relationship with food and yourself. The role of healthy habits and self-care in achieving food freedom. Changing beliefs around what healthy living really means. Reframing your relationship with food for long-term release from dieting. The freedom that you get from changing your mindset around food, your body shape and size, and dieting. How deep-rooted beliefs and attachments to food can influence your eating habits. Creating your own version of healthy living and why shifting your mindset is key of success. Why self-worth and energy alignment play a crucial role in healing your relationship with food.
