This Is Us
Are you also obsessed with This Is Us? Did you watch last week’s episode “The Fifth Wheel”?
It was a lot to take in on many levels. I was relieved the writers used the words “food and addiction” when describing Kate. I even yelled “THANK YOU” at the tv.
She is a wonderful character and it appeared to me that didn’t simply have a weight problem since the pilot. As a Food Addiction Counselor, I felt the issue needed to be said but was more than worried it was not going to be.
It is estimated 1/3 of all Americans are obsessive or addicted to Food. Does this sound right to you? It does to me, as I used to be one of them. I was once addicted to Sugar and Artificial Sweetener, I did not even think that was possible, and many still do not, but rest assured it is.
Not all Food Addicts are overweight and not every person overweight is a Food Addict.
I go into greater detail on my blog or the today’s video

As a Holistic Health Coach, it is Erin’s big hairy audacious goal is to change the dialogue around how we look at weight loss. It is not a matter of being it Ketosis or Food Swaps but the feelings we have that we are avoiding by overeating. Why are so many of us not tackling the real issues we have? It is easier and safer to obsess over the latest diet fad. Whether it be with our job, or our Mom, boyfriend, politics… until we address how we manage our feelings in the world, we are not going to.
