Did You Know That:

They have nothing to do with diets, willpower, the way you look or what you eat.

Hiding doesn't help, it only perpetrates the cycle.

Do you think you're somehow flawed because you lean on food to cope with life? Nope. No way. We're all wired to think and react the way we do from early childhood right into our early 20s. Reaction Mode, just moving from situation to situation, coping with each one as it comes along.

If you’re overeating, restricting or purging, it simply means that at some point in your life, you felt completely overwhelmed by your emotions, powerless to change a stressful or harmful situation and, for self-preservation, began to master the art of ignoring your emotions, seeing them as pointless and annoying instead of your key to true strength and happiness. You're just getting by in life with your latest coping strategy.

Any thought, feeling or behaviour that allows you to remain in an uncomfortable situation without being aware of how uncomfortable you are. So you see, all you were doing was trying to protect yourself. You did the best you could with the knowledge you had at that time in your life - and using food to cope simply became a habit. How can that be your fault?

Being in the throes of an eating disorder is no laughing matter. I'm sure you realize that something needs to change, but in order to change, you need to be:

• ready to move beyond what you are experiencing today
• willing to make a conscious choice to learn a different way of thinking

We know the 24/7 Drill Sergeant mind trap keeps you in a state of learned helplessness. You think control is outside of you. But it's not. The good news is, it takes far less time to get out of the negative thinking spiral than you think - far, far less than all the minutes, hours, days, and years it took for you to end up where you are.??

The counsellors at CEDRIC fully understand using food to cope both on a personal and professional level. The CEDRIC method involves learning 3 simple tools and then practicing them in your everyday life until they become your normal/default. That is all. There is no trick, no pill, no diet or overnight cure.

We understand it completely. We get how your feelings are complicated and overwhelming and impossible to get out of, but no matter how long you've been using food to cope, there is a way to stop. There is one catch, you have to be ready to tackle the challenge. If you're ready, we're here and you can begin with just 3 days.
