Overeating, binge eating, or sugar addiction are not "bad habits" that you should fix or control.

What's really driving food perfectionism? They're emotional bonds that are meeting your deepest needs for connection, belonging, and attunement - what's known as attachment.

Some of the most common substitutes are food related - food, sugar, overeating, or a neurotic pursuit of achieving optimum health, the perfect diet or the perfect body.

This is why it can feel impossible to stick to your good intentions to eat more mindfully. It's not because you don't care, are being 'negative,' or aren't trying hard enough. Rather, your attachment needs are unconsciously driving your behaviors with food.

In When Food is Your Mother, you'll learn how to foster true connection with yourself, others and Life.
