      Chapter 1:

      An Introduction

      “I don’t have to know how to solve a problem in me. I just have to be willing to have a new experience. Practice observing. Practice acceptance. Practice willingness.”

      –Tracy McMillian

      Being a nutrition professional who is struggling with eating sucks. It’s not just about your pants not fitting or the mind games you play with yourself like you can almost feel your arteries slamming shut (true story) or it’s somehow okay because what you’re impulsively eating is fruit and cottage cheese (also a true story). It’s isolating, distracting, and it messes with your confidence, your identity, and your integrity. You don’t turn to friends for support because you’re their go-to for all things nutrition. Outing yourself to colleagues feels like career suicide (not to mention more shame than you could bear right now).

      As your waistline grows, you feel like it’s the elephant in the room. You’re distracted in appointments, wondering if your clients are onto you. The word “fraud” invades your thoughts like that song you can’t stand but can’t get out of your head. Eating trouble is not only costing you your health and eroding your confidence, but it’s beginning to pick away at your sanity too.

      I bet you’ve tried to figure this out. Maybe casually at first when you felt a little off-track. You tightened things up for a while. At some point you thought, “Okay, I better do something about this. Time to get serious.” Perhaps that looked like a highly detailed meal plan and tracking sheet or apps or both. Perhaps you went the route of expertly calculated macros and meal templates (but which ratios to use… hmmm?). Perhaps, even though you know it never works, you said goodbye to bread or chocolate or cheese “forever.”

      What would you give right now to have your eating back on track? To go to bed at night knowing you’ve got this (and your pants will fit in the morning)? To feel sharp and focused at work and enjoy time with your family and friends - free from the weight of this secret you’ve been hauling around?

      This book serves to help you reset and experience what it feels like to get your eating back in alignment with your values and your identity. To put an end to creeping weight and the worry that goes along with watching your waistline grow. To let you
