'Planet Plentiful’, that’s where we live these
days, surrounded by an abundance of food which is unparalleled!
So, how on earth do we survive without gaining weight, when,
for most of us diets and many healthy eating programmes
only make us crave food? Firstly,
let’s get one thing straight a dieting mindset where
we label food as ‘good’, or ‘bad’,
really is a…
The reality is that living with such a
mindset sets up a pattern of behaviour that swings from
comfort eating to guilt and shame. You are definitely
NOT weak willed, undisciplined or a failure. It is human
nature to crave whatever you make scarce in your mind
or life and so, as a means of surviving on ‘Planet
Plentiful’ this ‘Scarcity Mindset’ is
failing us!
|

This ‘Scarcity Mindset’
is therefore clearly not working as a means of preventing
or reducing the problems of long-term weight gain. A complete
mind-shift is needed that links mind, body and spirit in
balance with nature and food – an ‘Abundance’
mindset; in other words a return to healthy eating patterns;
the way we viewed and used food before the days of ‘Planet
Plentiful’ and the emergence of the dieting ‘Scarcity
Mindset’. |

Trapped in this negative mindset of ‘Scarcity’
brought about by the way we see some foods as ‘bad’,
we crave what we restrict and make scarce, losing the ability
to see food as a friend. After all it is just the fuel on
which to run our bodies! Surrounded by so much abundance
it is easy to see why we have switched off our fuel gages
in favour of being ‘good’ or ‘bad’
with food, often allowing the tank to overflow.
When we are in a ‘Scarcity Mindset’,
we actually give away much of our personal power, created
from making our own choices and decisions. We switch off
our link between mind and body, but much more damaging
than all this, we take our focus away from the joy and
beauty of living life to the full in a world of abundance,
and replace it with fear, guilt and shame – the
emotional turmoil of the dieter that further fuels stress
and anxiety. Caught in this trap we eventually rebel against
control and criticism, ending up yet again in that familiar
place of comfort eating, to try and dispel the stresses
caused, more often than not, by the ‘Scarcity Mindset’
itself!
Some time ago I was on holiday with a friend who had never
dieted in her life. As we sat in the hotel restaurant
some fellow guests stopped at our table to discuss the
fantastic spread of food available to us. On extolling
the virtues of the dessert section they asked inquisitively
“Aren’t you having one?” To our reply
of “No, actually we are full”. They retorted
with the much used, “Aren’t you being good!”
My friend was amazed as, believe it or not, this had never
been said to her before. What followed was an interesting
discussion, between the two of us, about the differences
in how food is viewed, by non-dieters as opposed to dieters.

So,
And what do we do when confronted by this somewhat rare
breed of people? We express our jealousy; tell them how
unfair it is; defend our ‘corner’ by talking
about how hard we have to try to loose weight; avoid them
because they make us feel bad, then give up on our diet
or try even harder, only to rebel when the cravings eventually
get to us!
I really think it is time
to do things differently – flip that coin on its
head - and learn from the ‘Abundance’ mindset
of the non-dieter; after all isn’t it easier to
go with the flow of nature instead of against it? When
we open up our choices, really listen to our body and
eat without under or overfilling our ‘tank’,
we discover not only a love of food that is quite surprising
but also how easy it is to loose weight and maintain the
loss, the more we practice ‘Living in Abundance’.
