Select your journey
Social
- Food and drink play a big role in your life, especially your social life.
- Time with your family and friends will tend to involve food or drink.
- You and your family may have gotten into the habit of eating bigger portions often eating more than you need to, leading to weight gain.
- As a child you may have been expected to finish everything on your plate and being praised for clearing your plate.
Mood
- Food and drink are often linked to how you feel.
- You use food or drink to lift you up or fill a gap when you’re bored or stressed or to cheer you up.
- You may have a weakness for certain comfort foods or snacks you turn to, even though know they aren’t the healthy option.
Safe
- You may have had difficult or stressful experiences, particularly during childhood but also at some other point in your life.
- This has had a lasting effect and eating has been one of the ways of coping.
- Like others with similar experiences, you may have had problems with your weight for most of your life, perhaps losing and then regaining quite a lot of weight.
- These experiences may include violence or abuse, family break-up or unexpected bereavement, or a parent struggling with mental health, drug, or alcohol problems.
Life
- Important things in your life have changed over the past few years and this has meant your weight has crept up.
- This may be starting a family, a relationship change, or a change to your working arrangements.
- This has meant you are not as active as you once were and your eating habits may have also changed to fit with your current lifestyle.
Weight Maintenance
- Weight maintenance is about keeping your weight stable, rather than losing or gaining weight.
- You may notice that your weight naturally fluctuates from day to day, going up or down at times.
- If you are within a healthy weight range, maintaining that range is important for your overall health.
- You are looking to find a balance in your eating and lifestyle that helps you stay within that range over time.
