Many twists and turns convolute the path and the process when healing eating and weight issues. Every one who diets has issues with food or body image. Each person’s journey is unique, but certain behavioral similarities are fundamental at the start for nearly everyone who is affected.
Why?
This may surprise you, but the sociocultural roots of diet and weight issues are hidden deep in plain view. They are found in the often unspoken and generally accepted expectations we hold about the world in which we live. These expectations are primarily determined by the combined attitudes of people who comprise this culture and society.
It is personally surprising to find out how deeply entrenched these sociocultural systems are to each of us. Yet, taking stock of the conscious and unconscious influence these expectations hold on us individually is the first step to freeing ourselves from them forever.
