Read More »Not only are these decisions fueled by feelings that aren’t logical, they can also sometimes be dangerous. We let these thought gremlins squat in our heads and give us hours, days, and even weeks of grumpy, self-loathing, misery. Because the human brain is wired to restore peaceful order, it looks to behaviors that will offer immediate relief of our negative feelings. We eat. We drink. We over exercise. We shop. No sooner do we numb ourselves with these habits, we get hit by a second wave of emotion: guilt, frustration (at not being able to control it), or anger at the realization that we’ve just made things worse, not better. And so the cycle continues. What’s a girl (or boy) to do? Here are 6 ways to get out of that “feeling fat” funk: Fat isn’t a feeling, it’s a thought pattern that’s a smokescreen for other feelings. Take time to think about what the underlying feeling is and think through why you feel this way. Are you feeling guilty? Ashamed? Scared? Vulnerable? Lonely? Why? Accurately identifying and solving these emotional conundrums is an important first step in tackling fat feelings. Stop the fat-talk. When you find yourself talking to your partner or friend about feeling fat, STOP IT. If someone does it to you, refuse to play the game. Acknowledge the feelings, but don’t indulge the wacko conclusions that follow it. Fat-talk is like scratching a mosquito bite. 10 seconds of pleasure for hours of irritation that follows it. It ain’t worth it. Accentuate the positive. Instead of moaning about things you don’t like about your body, switch your focus to things that your body can do (actions) that make you feel kick-ass and strong. As Kristin Mayer of Betty Designs says, “Remember, your body can do Epic Sh*t.” Yeah, focus on that. Know thy fat triggers. A fat trigger is simply the circumstance or event that prompted you to think or feel fat. If you happen to catch yourself in the mirror a certain way which leads to feelings of fatness, then the glance in the mirror would be the trigger. If you sit down in a certain way and notice a muffin top fresh out of the jeans-oven, then sitting down a certain way would be the trigger, and so on. Many triggers are unavoidable, but you can look for patterns and (a) try to reduce your exposure to them (e.g., avoid compulsively weighing yourself), and (b) develop pre-determined mantras that you say to yourself when the trigger hits you. Get armed with alternative thoughts to crowd out the noise. “I do Epic Sh*t.” “I am enough.” Work on self-acceptance skills. Every. Single. Day. Self-acceptance isn’t about pretending you’re a flawless hunk of awesomeness, it’s about recognizing that it’s normal to like certain aspects of ourselves more than other aspects. Importantly, this awareness shouldn’t get in the way of accepting yourself. Here I am, flawed. Just like you. And, you know what? That’s ok! If it’s more serious than that, talk to someone about it. Don’t know what “serious” means? If you’re having distressing thoughts about your body or your eating habits daily (or even more frequently), a trained professional can help you develop healthy ways to work through those issues, resulting in fewer negative thoughts and feelings. There are so now many fantastic therapists trained in body and eating disorders and who understand an athlete’s mindset, that you will be spoiled for choice.
