We analyze, assess \u2013 and maybe even obsess about \u2013 every little morsel of food we put into our mouth. And then, well \u2013 life happens. Tragedy happens. Stress happens.  Our habits start to unravel, and before we know it: our healthy lifestyle is kaput. We\u2019re secret-eating in the dark and binge eating when we think no one is looking.  The weight starts to creep back up, and before we know it, our weight has swung widely to the other side of the spectrum.  And every bite of food is accompanied by terrible, self-attacking thoughts like, \u201cI\u2019m so disgusting. I can\u2019t believe I\u2019m doing this again, I can\u2019t stand who I\u2019ve become.\u201d   As Marc David explores in this episode, the extremist mentality can go way beyond the realms of food and body.  But in every case, our extremistic mentality simply isn\u2019t sustainable \u2013 and when we fail to notice that, our heart, mind and body suffers. That\u2019s what\u2019s happening with guest coaching client, Jeff, 53, who has gained and lost 100 lbs many times since he was young. Through extreme approaches like juice fasting and running marathons, Jeff has always been able to lose the weight. But inevitably, something happens in life that throws him off. He gets divorced, his parents die, he moves. Grief arises, as does loneliness \u2013 and he turns to his familiar friend, food. But Jeff is deeply tired of the yo-yo dieting, and of all the weight that piles on \u2013 and that\u2019s so much harder to lose as he gets older.  And he\u2019s exhausted of all the shame-filled, hurtful thoughts his brain hurls at him about how he\u2019s \u201cweak\u201d \u2013 a message that\u2019s all too familiar from the childhood lectures his parents used to give him around his food and weight.  So how can Jeff and the rest of us move beyond weight extremism, yo-yo dieting, and the \u201call or nothing\u201d mentality? How do we find the middle ground with food?
