Why You Feel Like Two Different People Around Food: How Parts Therapy Can Transform Your Relationship with Food

Have you ever felt like two completely different people around food? One part of you genuinely wants to lose weight, eat well and take care of your health, while another part reaches for comfort, convenience or says, "I'll start again on Monday." If this sounds familiar, you're not lacking willpower. One of the therapeutic approaches I use in Weight Loss Mindset Therapy is Parts Therapy, which helps us understand the different parts of ourselves that influence our behaviours, emotions and relationship with food. In this article, I'll introduce you to the concept of Parts Therapy, explain why self-sabotage happens, and show you how bringing your different parts into alignment can make lasting weight loss feel less like a battle and more like a natural way of living.
