Changing your Relationship with Food

"If you've ever dieted for more than a few days, you know why diets fail in the long run. They lead to feeling deprived, frustrated, and unsatisfied around food, an unpleasant state of internal imbalance becomes part of daily experiences.

But, if dieting isn't the answer to permanent weight loss, then what is? If you want to find and maintain a healthy weight, you have to stop using food to make yourself feel better. You need to break the habitual response between I feel and I eat, mood and food, feeling and feeding." – www.karenrkoenig.com

My guest is Karen R. Koenig.

She is a psychotherapist with expertise in eating psychology — the how and why, not the what, of eating.

Karen has over 30 years of experience working in this field, is a popular blogger and an award-winning, international author of seven books on eating, weight, and body image.

She views eating "normally" and healthfully as part of self-care, something that we cannot do without having effective life skills, personality traits that support wisdom and success, and resolving intrapsychic issues that may be conscious or unconscious, all of which Karen has devoted books to.
