Uplift Your Life: Nourishment Of The Spirit

We've all heard about eating disorders, but disordered eating is new. Yet, intuitively, we all know what it means. More of us have an unhealthy relationship to food and our body than have a healthy one. Now that's just not right! More than a third are obese and another third, mostly Baby Boomers, are overweight. Even more shocking, if that's possible, are these statistics: 57% of Millennials obsess that they eat too much; 91% of female college students diet; and 95% of all dieters regain their lost weight within 5 years. This obsession with food, weight and our body image is literally killing us. It is harmful physically, emotionally and mentally creating illness, shame, stress, body-hatred and self-recrimination. And it isn't just a woman's problem. 1 in 10 cases of eating disorders are attributed to men and that doesn't include disordered eating. We can stop these harmful patterns.
