Many of the clients I work with in The Anchor Program have told me that they’ve finally given up on dieting as the solution to the food and body image issues and come to realize that their food addiction, binge eating and emotional eating will not be solved by losing weight, dieting or focusing on the number on the scale.

Unconscious core beliefs can stand between you and your goal to put an end to your food, body image. When first formed, usually when you were younger and during times of transition, trauma, or emotional upheaval, core beliefs are solutions to problems you couldn’t solve—perhaps because you didn’t have the resources at the time.

The New Year is usually a time when we make resolutions, express our hope for the future and shake off our past troubles to make a new start at whatever we want to change. We see the New Year as a fulcrum for change. Whether or not our New Year's resolutions come true (and most don't), we don't let that bother us as we power through our lives with the hope that just having made a resolution will eventually enable it to come true. But 2020 was a much different and more challenging year!!
