Intuitive Eating for the Holidays

The holiday season has long been known to be a time of tradition. Many special traditions involve family, friends and celebration, but even more revolve food. For someone struggling with problematic eating, food addiction, attempting to lose weight or change eating habits, the holiday season can be an especially difficult time.

The holiday season has long been known to be a time of tradition. Many special traditions involve family, friends and celebration, but even more involve food. For someone struggling with problematic eating, food addiction, attempting to lose weight or change eating habits, the holiday season can be an especially difficult time. Events that should evoke emotions of fun and celebration, are often met with dread and anxiety by those that feel they may lose control.

During this holiday season, stop the diet and try a new and different approach to managing eating behaviors.

1. Correct Distortional Thinking - Distortional thoughts are beliefs we have which only bring us back to a place we don't want to be. Thoughts like: It's just one time a year....  I'll start my diet for the New Year.... This is the ONLY time I can enjoy Pumpkin Spiced Lattes, so better drink as many as I can!  Having these types of thoughts creep into your mind can easily derail you from your bigger goals of attempting to be healthier and not binge or overeat. To combat these thoughts, we work on a strategy called Thought Stopping.

2. Minimize and Manage Stress Levels - Stress is often the emotion that tends to send us into a tail-spin of making poor choices for our health and well being. When we're stressed, we feel out of control, rushed in our routine and like we just can't handle ONE MORE THING. When we feel overwhelmed during the holidays, we tend to control the things in our life that demand the most attention - busy Christmas shopping, scheduling ALL the events, traveling here, there and everywhere, juggling stretched budgets and still trying to take care of LIFE. The problem is, when we're trying to stay in control of everything else, we tend to slack on other areas -- unfortunately that's usually ourselves. Self-care and taking time out for ourselves is the thing we put LAST when everything else is crazy. Sometimes, this translates into our health goals, managing our binge eating behaviors or saying TO HECK WITH IT in working on making healthy changes.

3. Plan Ahead - Having a plan about how you're going to manage difficult situations can be one of the single, best ways to prevent a binge episode. Having a plan doesn't mean you won't experience cravings or urges to binge, but it does mean you'll be better equipped on how to respond to cravings.

4. Support System - Have you ever tried to manage your disordered eating issues during the holidays ONLY to be met with all your family members bombarding you with triggering statements and judgments. Do you really think you need to go back for seconds? I'm only eating the vegetables this year because I'm trying to watch my weight. Phrases such as these can be particularly difficult for those with disordered eating issues. Many people don't understand the difficulty in trying to maintain these changes, ESPECIALLY when there is an abundance of food. Eliciting a support system which understands the difficulties you may face may be most helpful in making changes for your eating behaviors during the holiday season. Explain to your friends or family members your goals and ask them to support you. In the Happy Healthy Holiday program, we will be discussing specific dialogue and examples you can use with your family to help them understand.

5. Focus on the Reason for the Season - From Halloween to Valentines Day, it may seem like there is one celebration after another featuring food. So many times we put ample focus on the food at each of these gatherings. For those with disordered eating issues, the food focus may be even more heightened. This glamorizing of food tends to blind us from other important parts of the holiday season - friends, family, tradition and celebration. It might be helpful to remind yourself that although Grandma's Apple Pie may be very special because you can only enjoy it once a year, it's likely many of the other foods can be made anytime throughout the year. Focus on the real reason for the season and take the glorification out of the food. 

Do you need help with addressing these areas?

In the Happy Healthy Holidays Support Group we will be addressing ALL of these issues and more. If you're the person that has made progress towards goals and you're TERRIFIED you might relapse during the holidays -- then this group is for YOU. If you're wondering how you can possibly enjoy food, when you constantly feel like food is the enemy -- then this group is for YOU. If you find that you are constantly stressed to the max during the holidays, which in turn, leads to eating ALL the holiday cookies -- then this program is for you.

Program Begins on November 11th.

All You Need to Know About Eating Healthy

Have you ever wondered how some people can eat "normal" everyday and never have to worry about food? They can eat a donut without feeling one bit guilty. They can eat a few bites from a piece of cake and feel satisfied enough to pass up the rest. They can eating 3/4 of what is on their plate and leave the rest for later because they're no longer hungry. 

There are SO MANY mixed messages through the media, advertising, publications and endless commercials trying to sell the next best way to lose weight, get healthy and to finally "make exercise fun." The healthy and fitness industry is a multi-million dollar money making machine and every day they make their buck off of individuals that are hoping they have FINALLY discovered that magic solution.

However, it does not have to be that complicated. 

Have you ever wondered how some people can eat "normal" everyday and never have to worry about food? They can eat a donut without feeling one bit guilty. They can eat a few bites from a piece of cake and feel satisfied enough to pass up the rest. They can eating 3/4 of what is on their plate and leave the rest for later because they're no longer hungry. 

Eating healthy is really about just getting back to the basics. Eating food that tastes good, food that's nutritious and energizes your body for daily activity and exercise. Eating food to the point of feeling satisfied and stopping when you're full. Enjoying a treat from time to time without feeling guilty.

There are five basic concepts for healthy eating:

1. Understanding Nutrition - Having a solid foundation of healthy nutrition is the cornerstone for giving your body what it needs to function properly. Healthy nutrition involves understanding how to read food labels, eating a balanced diet and knowing how each food group effects your body.

2. Healthy Goal Setting - A health goal is the #1 New Year's Resolution set every year. And why wouldn't it be? A New Year means a new start and a great time to look at one's health and want to make changes. However, many individuals set goals weight loss goals which can be very problematic, causing the person to be tethered to the highs and lows associated with what the scale reads. Learning how to set HEALTHY goals can be the best approach.

3. Navigating Grocery Gimmicks - There is a LOT of jargon in the present day when it comes to food. Sugar free, all natural, cage free, gluten free, etc. All of these different terms come disguised as a way to try and help you be healthier, but some are actually causing more harm than good. Understanding how to read through all the jargon and how advertising and marketing companies utilize jargon to trick you into buying their products can be very beneficial in the pursuit of a healthier lifestyle. 

4. Meal Planning - One of the single best ways to create a healthier lifestyle is to plan out your menu from week to week. But so few people actually take the time to do it! Whether they're overwhelmed, don't know where to start or simply bored with their meal choices, there are many reasons people don't commit to meal planning. However, this method has time and time again proven to be one of the most helpful!

5. Getting a Tap on Your Emotions - Do you eat when you're sad, stressed, bored, angry --- all of the above? You're not alone. Almost everyone eats for reasons other than physical hunger from time to time. However, this can become problematic if you find yourself reaching for food EVERY time you experience negative emotions and you have no other healthy means to cope. Adopting a mindful eating, or intuitive eating, approach can be one of the best ways to make sure you're eating in ways that nourish your body and leave you feeling satisfied instead of guilty.

Do any of these areas sound like something you're struggling with in your healthy lifestyle pursuit? We'll be covering each concept in depth in the Healthy Eating Basics Boot Camp beginning March 4th. The 6 week program is completely online and if you found something that resonates with you here, I would love for you to learn more about the program by clicking here.

My #1 Meal Planning Strategy - (aka, How Clicklist Changed My Life!)

If you're not familiar, Clicklist allows customers to choose their groceries online. You select the designated time for pickup during the checkout process online. On the day/time of your scheduled pickup, you simply drive up to the Clicklist station in the Parking Lot of your chosen store - and they come out and load your cart FOR YOU with all of your groceries. Mind. Blown. I may or may not have cried the first time they loaded my vehicle and I didn't even have to get out of the driver's seat.

In my 7 Steps to Stress Free Meal Planning I mention one of the ways to keep from feeling so overwhelmed with meal planning and keep your stress low is to simplify things. Well, it does not get much simpler than Meal Delivery.

I recently wrote a post about Home Chef and how much I loved the Home Delivery service, but obviously these meal boxes only provide enough for 3 meals. So what about the rest of the pantry and fridge?

I realize there are many that actually enjoy the weekly trip to the grocery, and if that's you, then feel free to skip this post. There are a lot of benefits to actually walking into the grocery store every week. Some individuals who are retired or perhaps parents that stay at home may look forward to this visit as a way to get out of the house and enjoy the fresh air. Some people may actually count walking around in the grocery store for an hour as a weekly workout. Both are really great reasons to physically visit the store.

On the other hand, some of you may be like me. Some of you may absolutely despise the weekly grocery store visit. After spending a long week at work in which you have had to expend every ounce of mental energy, the weekly grocery store visit may leave you with making as many decisions in an hour as you make the entire week. Which bread should I buy? Should I buy the one on sale, or the one that's whole wheat? Wait, here's one that is sugar free... Is sugar free a bad thing? Oh look! Samples! Should I buy this sample because I ate it and I don't want the little, white haired sales lady to think badly of me? It's all. so exhausting.

Enter Clicklist. Have you heard of Clicklist? This new program by Kroger has been LIFE CHANGING for me. Let me clarify I am not getting compensated in any way to speak with you about Clicklist, I just simply want to share with you something that has had a huge impact on my meal planning strategy, grocery shopping and budget. If there is any way I can be helpful to you, then that's what I want to do!

If you're not familiar, Clicklist allows customers to choose their groceries online. You select the designated time for pickup during the checkout process online. On the day/time of your scheduled pickup, you simply drive up to the Clicklist station in the Parking Lot of your chosen store - and they come out and load your cart FOR YOU with all of your groceries. Mind. Blown. I may or may not have cried the first time they loaded my vehicle and I didn't even have to get out of the driver's seat.

So why am I so obsessed with Clicklist?

1. Saving Money. I honestly believe using Clicklist has saved me money on my grocery bill. Although there is a $5 charge for using the program, I believe this is nothing compared to how many impulse purchases I was probably buying when I shopped in the store before.

2.  Saving Time. What would you do with an hour or two extra every week? I can think of a whole host of things, especially if I live in the same town as my Clicklist and don't have to include driving time. Unfortunately, I do not. Currently, my nearest Clicklist program is a 40 minute drive away. HOWEVER, I have used this extra time NOT spent in the store listening to audiobooks, podcasts and relaxing to music.

3. No more stress. I used to feel overwhelmed with grocery shopping. Making a lists at home was overwhelming because I always felt like I might get to the store and decide on something different. And then actually shopping was ALWAYS stressful with rush hour cart traffic, long checkout lines and the hundreds of choices I would be consumed with when faced with what-flavor and how-many decisions with each item. Now I simply login online, choose from my "recent purchases" category for items I almost always buy, choose for my weekly recipes and I can easily see what items are available in the store from one page on my computer screen. 

4. Weather Proof. Maybe this is a bit over the top, but there's something about not having to get out in 20 degree temperatures and push my groceries to the car and load them. :)

5. Strategic Meal Planning. Because I can now select my groceries from the comfort of my couch, this also allows me to manage my budget better. I am able to plan meals appropriately based on a budget because I can see a close estimate to how much items will cost. I am able to develop plans based on using similar products across multiple days to limit food waste and maximize the amount of time I spend in the kitchen. 

 

I hope you'll give Clicklist or another grocery delivery service a try to make the most out of your grocery shopping. It certainly has changed my way of shopping and has literally changed my life!

Will My Insurance Pay for Obesity Counseling?

The answer is – it depends. With obesity rates climbing, the American Medical Association declared Obesity as a disease in 2013. With this change also came the cry for insurances to cover for preventative and treatment services for those afflicted with obesity issues.

Will my insurance pay for my counseling regarding obesity, disordered eating or food addiction?

The answer is – it depends. With obesity rates climbing, the American Medical Association declared Obesity as a disease in 2013. With this change also came the cry for insurances to cover for preventative and treatment services for those afflicted with obesity issues.  Depending on the insurance, a wide variety of services for prevention and treatment may be available including: bariatric surgery, gastric bypass surgery, intensive counseling, formal weight loss programs, group treatment sessions, health coaches and nutritionist interventions.

Who is eligible for reimbursement?

Most patients will require a screening to see whether or not they meet the requirements for obesity. Most clinics still utilize the BMI scale to measure for obesity and this has been found an acceptable way for medical professionals to diagnose patients. Mental health counselors may also diagnose patients based on behavioral assessment via the Diagnostic Manual. A diagnosis of Binge Eating Disorder, Bulimia, or other eating disorder may also help patients meet criteria for reimbursement.

Why does my insurance company tell me I have to be seen by my doctor and my sessions with my counselor don’t count?

Many insurance companies now support the need for treatment of Obesity. However, restrictions require the patient be seen by the primary care physician in a primary care setting. This restricts individuals from seeking treatment from other health professionals such as licensed counselors, psychologists, dietitians and nutritionists. This has presented to be an ongoing issue with many arguing research supports behavioral intervention as a necessity in effective treatment for obesity related problems, an area in which medical doctors and primary care providers have little training.

How can I get my insurance to cover my visits to see my counselor?

Obesity has become a significant problem with nearly 1 out of 3 people affected. Research shows most people afflicted with obesity are also likely to suffer from Binge Eating Disorder, a diagnosable mental health issue. Binge Eating Disorder is characterized by recurrent episodes of consuming abnormally large amounts of food beyond fullness. Insurance companies are required to provide mental health coverage, however, many employers still make decisions regarding what types of problems are covered. The good news? More and more states are requiring eating disorders to be covered as part of coverage and also recommending weight not be the only factor in deciding if someone is eligible.

How do I discuss coverage with my counselor?

Many mental health providers offer a free consultation before you even begin your sessions. During your consultation, discuss insurance reimbursement with your counselor. He or she may have advice for you on how to get covered and may even be able to facilitate coverage. In addition, your counselor may have other payment options available to make treatment affordable for you.

 

How do I talk to my insurance about coverage for my obesity treatment?

  1. Familiarize yourself with your insurance policy or health benefit plan. Obtain a copy from your employer or insurance company if you don’t have one.

  2. Understand the insurance policy’s coverage for treatment at an in-network facility versus an out-of-network facility.

  3. Ask your insurance company for a list of in-network treatment facilities.

  4. If the insurance company has no in-network facilities in your area or state, ask your insurance company for a single case agreement with your preferred treatment facility in your area.

  5. Document that the treatment is medically necessary by providing your doctor’s written support, your own letter describing your need for treatment, and if available, letters of support from family members or co-workers.

  6. Document what forms of therapy and treatment you have exhausted by submitting copies of all treatment records to the insurance company.

  7. Ensure that your facility communicates with the insurance company in writing and retains records of correspondence.

  8. Keep records of all out-of-pocket expenses for future reimbursement.

  9. Find out if your state has a Mental Health Parity Law. The National Alliance on Mental Illness has a chart outlining the mental health parity laws for each state.

  10. Obtain a copy of the treatment facility’s license to determine if it qualifies as a hospital, skilled nursing facility, congregate living facility, or other health facility license through the state.

Does Madden Wellness accept insurance?

Madden Wellness does not direct bill for insurance. However, we do provide you with a superbill, a medical receipt in which you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement.

What if my insurance doesn’t reimburse and I can’t pay?

There may be several other options available to you even if your insurance does not reimburse you. Talk to your counselor or health care provider about a payment plan, sliding scale fees or another payment arrangement. In the meantime, continue to discuss options with your insurance provider and keep all records of your treatment.

Madden Wellness is a partner at Open Path Collective, a service which allows clients to pay one monthly payment towards sessions, a convenient and cost effective way to seek treatment.

Madden Wellness also offers Advance Care financing options for those needing affordable treatment. Many individuals may be eligible for 0% financing.

Happy Healthy Holiday Workshop Series

Have you ever made significant changes in your diet and lifestyle, only to relapse during the holidays?

 

What starts out as a plan to have only 1 plate of food, quickly turns into 2 and then maybe by the end of the week (and 4 holiday parties later) you've decided to completely abandon your goals.

 

"I'll start over for New Years."

"There's no point in trying to make changes now...what with the holidays just around the corner."

" It's just once a year."

JOIN US!

Watch the Preview!

FIND OUT ALL THE DETAILS ABOUT THIS UPCOMING PROGRAM, AS WELL AS GET ANSWERS TO ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS YOU HAVE ABOUT SIGNING UP.

 


Have you ever made significant changes in your diet and lifestyle, only to relapse during the holidays?

 

What starts out as a plan to have only 1 plate of food, quickly turns into 2 and then maybe by the end of the week (and 4 holiday parties later) you've decided to completely abandon your goals.

 

"I'll start over for New Years."

"There's no point in trying to make changes now...what with the holidays just around the corner."

" It's just once a year."

 

Before you know it, you find yourself falling back into old habits, telling yourself you'll "start Monday" over and over again. The cycle continues and then it's April and you've gained back weight, abandoned your goals and given up altogether...... ALL because of the holiday season.

The holidays are a difficult time for many who struggle with food addiction and problematic eating. The food, family, parties and an endless supply of one tempting dessert after another presents a perfect storm of emotional eating cues and food triggers.

Not to mention the STRESS that comes with planning, cooking, going from one home to the other and shopping for gifts! This wonderful time of year sends some into a frenzy of stress and anxiety which, in turn, can result in emotional eating and a lack of willpower and motivation to take care of ourselves when we're having to take care of everything else!

That's why I'm launching the Happy Healthy Holiday series. In this program, we'll be taking a look at all the many factors that contribute to goal abandonment and emotional eating during the holiday season. We'll be diving into understanding how deep rooted beliefs and ideas we may have around our families and seasonal foods, may be sabotaging our progress.

Along with lots of great information during this 3 week program, you'll also have individual, personalized access for weekly consultation with myself, an Eating Disorder and Obesity Specialist. We'll be answering any questions you have about issues you're experiencing and take a deeper look at the roadblocks you may come across during the holidays.

In addition, you'll also be able to take advantage of daily/weekly accountability of your eating habits and emotional triggers through the Record Recovery app, a great tool which allows me to be able to provide you feedback in real-time.

 

It is my intention to teach you how to enjoy the holidays without having to worry about whether or not you'll be able to maintain or continue working on your healthy eating goals. I want you to have a Happy, Healthy Holiday Season!

Beginning October 29th

What's Included

3 LIVE Workshops

Week 1 - Christmas Time's A Comin' - Prevention and Preparation

The holidays can bring on an entire host of complicated feelings and emotions, many of which spill over into our food choices. Stress-eating, binge eating, to-heck-with-it eating.... all comes to the surface during the holiday season.

In this session, we will employ specific strategies to help you prepare healthfully for the holiday season. We will highlight researched interventions to help you prevent falling back into old habits. Skills such as Thought Stopping, Identifying Distortional Thoughts and Rational Emotive Behavior techniques will be covered. We'll discuss many of the problem scenarios that may come up and how to manage. We'll learn how to utilize these skills so that you can worry less about food and focus more on celebrating the season.

Week 2 - Celebrating Food and Family

Does it sometimes seem like your family DOESN'T want you to be successful with your diet? Does EVERYONE in your family go back for seconds during holiday parties -- and you feel obligated to also? At holiday parties, do you find that you have a "food pattern" (always eating the same foods, going back for seconds, eating the same desserts and feeling miserable after -- MAYBE eating AGAIN later in the evening)?

During the holiday season, tradition may apply to more than just celebration and unity. We'll be talking all about how family dynamics come into play with our food choices during the holiday season. Learn appropriate coping strategies so that you can stay on track with your goals and not fall into the family guilt trip pit. By the end of this session, you'll learn how to enjoy a holiday meal with your family without having to feel guilty about your food.

Week 3 - Have a Holly Jolly Emotional Basket Case Christmas

As much fun as the holidays are, they also tend to be some of the most stressful times of the entire year. Stress is one of the most significant factors in problematic eating! When we get stressed, we tend to let go of things in our life so that we can take control of others (like shopping, scheduling and finances!). Unfortunately the thing we let go of first - - is usually ourselves. Sometimes that translates to our health, goals and our eating behaviors.

In this session, learn how to cope with stress and still enjoy the holiday season. Learn effective strategies to mainstream your life in such a way to minimize stress and make willpower easier than it ever has been!
