Hi, I’m Emily Rosen, Chief Operating Officer for the Institute for the Psychology of Eating.
Today’s topic: The New Vitamin A – Authenticity
More specifically, what does authenticity have to do with nutrition, diet, health, and our relationship with food?
I consider authenticity the new vitamin A – meaning it’s a very important nutrient to include in our lifelong meal plan.
I’m defining authenticity as being real, honest, truthful, to the point, saying what you really feel, saying what you really mean, being willing to speak what’s on your mind even though it’s likely that others won’t necessarily be all warm and fuzzy with you. Authenticity means we dig a little deeper into who we really are, and we let go of anything that’s in the way of expressing our real self. Easier said than done for sure, but once done, life tends to be way easier.
So how does this all tie into food and nutrition?
Here’s how:
It’s easy to turn to food when we are not being who we really are.
It’s easy to turn to food when we are avoiding what we truly feel.
It’s easy to turn to food when we are putting on a fake front – that takes a lot of energy and it’s very stressful.
It’s easy to turn to food when we are not living the life we’re meant to live.
It’s easy to turn to food when we are doing too much people pleasing.
It’s easy to turn to food when we are having a hard time in life, but pretending we’re not.
It’s easy to turn to food when we discover that the life we’ve been living has really been the life we thought we were supposed to do to please others – not the one WE really want.
All of these are examples of living an inauthentic life.
