If you’re feeling lonely, rejected, stressed, sad or any other negative emotion, do you reach for food to drown out the pain and discomfort?
When difficult feelings arise in our lives, it can be a lot easier to just numb it out with food, rather than face all the emotion.
Especially if we have been taught to always put on a brave face and to stop being so “emotional.”
But when we eat out of negative emotion like that, we’re not healing or getting any better...we’re simply drowning out our feelings with food.
And we begin to depend on it for love and comfort.
So even if we know what and how we’re eating is causing problems (physically, mentally and emotionally) it’s hard to stop or change those negative patterns.
It’s as if they have become too “normal” or safe to let go...
However, if we actually sat down, had an honest chat with ourselves and asked the question,
“What feelings am I experiencing right now
and why?”
it would help!
Does it sound a little scary though…like you don’t even want to 'go there'?
I hear you.
But, hold up, who am I to talk about “Reconnecting with Food?”
I’m Sairah Pettes, a Body Positive, Intuitive Eating Coach and the founder of TurnuptheLove.ca. I help women to stop the diet-cycle by teaching them to throw out their scales, and let go of ‘perfectionitis'.
In other words, I’m passionate about introducing women to a world without dieting.
After several years of working as a health coach for Canada’s largest weight loss company, I quickly grew tired of following the corporate road map that presented obesity, and low self-esteem as a dollar sign. After I left my 9-5, I travelled across the eastern coast of Australia, where I learned how to surrender to my body and make peace with food without a rulebook.
You see, for most of my life, I was unhappy and resentful of my body. I lived on a pre-packaged food diet, used food to deal with emotions and became dominated by depression. I was ignoring my body and controlling her every move. I was obsessed with the scale. I didn’t care about being healthy, I cared about “looking good.”
But during my 5-month trip abroad, I finally reconnected with my body. I began to listen to her. To trust her and to nourish, value and respect her wisdom. I finally understood what it meant to truly love your body.
Through the power of self-acceptance, I now coach women to eat with intention, without obsessive restriction and calorie counting, where they learn to love their bodies from the inside out.
It’s time to reconnect with food in a positive and empowering way.
It’s time to reconnect with yourself again. Because the world needs YOU...
the complete, dazzling, powerful version of YOU.
That is why I am SO excited
to share with you
my introductory program:
Reconnect with Food is a self-study introductory course designed to improve your relationship with food and your body in a deep and lasting way. It gives you the guidance, safe space and support you need to think about these negative patterns and how to begin to heal from them.
Throughout the program, you will dive in and uncover the patterns behind WHY you are self-soothing with food. You will learn how to interpret food cravings and listen to your own intuition when it comes to what to eat, when to eat, and how much.

"I am more aware of what I am eating, how I am eating and why I am eating.
I am more connected to the food I eat and I am more in control. I am continuing to eat great and I'm no longer bashing myself if I eat food that may be socially 'un-hip' or receiving bad food vibes from others. This has lead me to feeling more satisfaction from my meals and snacks overall."

"Since using the Food Diary I now know my triggers and try to focus on the positive side of eating and nurturing my body.
Before I had the Food Diary I was afraid of what to eat and when to eat it. I always feared that I was going to gain weight. I love it, the colours are amazing and it’s easy to work with it!"

"I now think about food in a bit of a different way - food is nourishment, for health, for longevity, for healing, and sometimes just for pleasure.
Reconnect with Food made me more aware of why I was participating in disconnected eating. It helped me identify what my triggers are that lead me to binge or eat in a disconnected way, and gave me alternative processes and ways to deal with my triggers. I am more mindful about food and take the time to think through why I am eating before I eat. This program just made me overall more in tune and connected to myself.”
