Moderation v. Liberation (choosing what to eat for weight loss)

 

Tips from Isabel Foxen Duke about moderation versus liberation


Moderation...is trying to stay “in control” while widening the amounts and types of food you eat, so your rebounds aren’t as severe.

Liberation…is not having control and being okay with it—relaxing with out-of-control-ness—knowing that no matter what I eat, and no matter what I weigh, I am whole, safe and complete.

Moderation...defines recovery by what you eat or your ability to perform “correct” (aka “moderate”) eating behaviors.

Liberation…defines recovery by how we feel about our food and body no matter what they look like (i.e. by our ability to relax with our food and our bodies under all circumstances).

Moderation...positions “acceptance” or “surrender” as a means to an end (i.e. as a means to achieving certain physical food or body goals).

Liberation…positions “acceptance” and “surrender” as the highest ends in and of themselves—understanding that our state of consciousness, and not our behaviors, is where peace really lies.

Moderation...is afraid of losing control; untrusting of “cravings,” “urges,” and other strong or powerful energies within us.

Liberation…trusts and celebrates the flow of our instincts, our appetites, and our wild (i.e. natural) human desires.

Moderation must always be careful.
Liberation cannot be touched.
