LADIES!! im gonna keep it funky on this next dieting mistake most of you make..dont kill me now!!! if youre ready to change then inbox me #welcometothegrind Having Emotional Hang-Ups and Judgment Newsflash: Women are, well, different. Anatomy and underwear selection aside, women and men think very differently about food. If a male overindulges hell say whoops and move on. But when a female overindulges, her identity and self-worth go into the toilet until shes able to punish herself and deeply regret what she did. Then her out-of-whack instincts will tell her to compensate for those dietary missteps with further dietary restriction or excess cardio, leading to overindulgence again. Females often find themselves in a constant ebb and flow of overeating and hyper-restriction. If they just moved on in the first place and stopped the self-judgment theyd be able to find stability. Women attach too much meaning to food. During times when theyre eating less, theyre happier with themselves and more confident. When theyre eating more they generally dont feel good about themselves. And theres usually a reason why theyre overeating: Food is their go-to tool for taking the edge off stress, anxiety, sadness, frustration, or any other emotion. Solution If women stopped attaching their self-worth to their eating habits and dealt with emotions in productive ways other than comfort food, theyd be more inclined to eat appropriately. A long walk will clear the head better than a row of cookies. A good bonk in the sack is more stress relieving than a pint of ice cream. And going back to number 4, overindulgence wouldnt be such a big deal if they sought hypertrophy instead of fat loss. Hypertrophy is about growth, not restriction, and that change in thinking frees women from the constant cycle of trying to eat like a supermodel and falling off the wagon.
