If food takes up way too much space in your mind before, during, and after meals...
If planning your meals takes more time and energy than actually eating them...
If you still end up rushing through meals, barely tasting them, and walking away unsatisfied...
If you’re tired of swinging between trying to control food and feeling like food is controlling you...
Maybe from the outside it looks like you’re doing the right thing.
You’re trying to be healthy.
You’re trying to stay in control.
You’re trying to get or maintain the body you want.
Maybe you achieve it, but it still doesn’t feel like enough.
Or maybe you’ve been trying for so long, but you’re never quite there.
Everything might look fine from the outside, or at least not bad enough to cause concern.
You’re just “disciplined,” or trying to be.
Yet inside your head, it feels like a constant struggle, and you’re simply tired...
→ Tired of the overthinking,
→ Tired of the pressure,
→ Tired of the guilt
→ Tired of the feeling that food has become way more complicated than it should be.
And yet you keep going.
You keep following the mental rules and the obsessive counting, thinking this is normal... that this is the only way to feel good about yourself and your body.
To feel “in control.”
But the more you follow the plan... The more you keep counting... The more you keep eating on autopilot...
The more it starts to feel like something else is in control.
The scale. The macros. The guilt.
The voice in your head that never seems to give you a break.
Even when it’s not screaming, it’s there.
You can feel it, ready to remind you that you’re not there yet...That it’s never enough.
So you plan, you prepare, you count, you move. Or at least you try.
Only to then lose control and feel like you have to start all over again.
Deep down, you know something is off.
You know this is NOT what “balance” is supposed to be.
It shouldn’t feel this hard.
It isn’t for your friends or your mother.
It isn’t for the fitness influencer or the nutritionist online.
It isn’t for the wellness coach who tells you to be more mindful when eating, as if you had a choice.
And maybe you even tried.
It lasted two bites, and then you were right back in the same habits.
So you start wondering if it really has to be this hard.
If this is the price of “health” or feeling good in your body that no one talks about...
But no, it doesn’t.
Finding balance, real balance, shouldn’t be this exhausting.
Getting in shape... Wanting to change your body... Wanting to be healthy without it turning into an obsession is not impossible.
You just don't have the right tools to do it, just like I didn’t.
And the hair tie method is one of the many steps that helped me quiet the background noise, while still reaching my goals.
