Understanding Chronic Dieting:
Chronic dieting refers to a pattern of repeatedly engaging in restrictive eating plans or fad diets in an effort to lose weight. It often involves cycles of short-term “success” followed by weight regain, leading to frustration, feelings of failure, and a negative impact on both physical and emotional well-being. Chronic dieting can create an unhealthy preoccupation with food, disrupt hunger and fullness cues, and contribute to a strained relationship with eating.
- Constantly jumping from one diet to another in pursuit of quick weight loss.
- Feeling guilty or ashamed when deviating from restrictive eating rules or “cheating” on a diet.
- Obsessively tracking calories, macros, or food intake.
- Having an all-or-nothing mentality towards food and labeling foods as “good” or “bad.”
- Experiencing weight fluctuations and difficulty maintaining a stable weight.
- Preoccupation with body shape, weight, and appearance, often at the expense of other areas of life.
