Erica says that if she tries a new food, she gets nervous and gags. She has been eating instant mashed potatoes for lunch every day and now wants to add new, healthier items to her diet for her own well-being ” and for the sake of her infant daughter.

Because food obsessions can be related to self-image issues, it’s important to uncover and then change any fictional beliefs you have about yourself:
Are you a bridesmaid under pressure to look “perfect?” Is the bride demanding that all her bridesmaids lose weight and get into shape before the big day?
Is your son or daughter a moocher and refusing to grow up? Is your loved one having a midlife crisis or wearing inappropriate clothing?
Do you feel she is your worst enemy? Can you not believe you are related to someone you dislike so much?
Do you suspect your partner/ family member to be a narcissist? Do they behave in a way that leaves you confused, distressed and fearful?
Are you part owner in a family business and feel like you don’t get your fair share of profits?
