Is Your Relationship Status with Food and Dieting Complicated? Let’s Change That...

Set a goal, they say…

Visualize it coming to fruition, they say…

Develop consistent, healthy habits, they say...

Then you shall reach your goals.

But let’s be real for a second.

When the holidays are in full swing, how many times have you taken all of the steps to get back in shape and fallen of the wagon?

I feel that.

One day you’re in full control and the next, your goals have gone from portion control and mindful eating to …how many donuts do you think I can fit in my mouth?

Been there. 🙋‍♀️

Want to know the secret to how I actually started to change my relationship with food and eating healthy?

Ok, there’s more than just one….

What can you do?

I encourage you to say some of these mantras - or create your own - on a daily basis.

And remember, it is a healthy JOURNEY, not a race.

But let’s start here, with these suggestions that have changed the way I look at food:

- Just because I CAN or WANT something, does not mean I need to act on that desire.

- I recognize addictive foods and happily refuse them.

- Cupcakes and kale coexist - but I don’t need too many cupcakes.

- I get pleasure from eating slowly and enjoying the meal.

- I use food to fuel my body, not reward it (for the most part!)

- My size is the least interesting thing about me.
