Have you been dieting for years and now with this health crisis don’t even have a way to avoid the areas that are “dangerous” for a dieter? (like the kitchen etc) I understand and I won’t lie, I still hear that little voice pop up sometimes.

However, mind and body eating coaching has made powerful lasting connenctions for me that changed my entire relationship with food and body.
.

An example of transformation in your relationship with food might be like this –
.
.
Before-
I avoided food as much as possible.
I rushed through my allotted meal for dinner and never “allowed” myself to eat dessert.
On a subconscious level I didn’t ever really allow myself to enjoy food.
.
.
Now-
I don’t need to avoid food, i’m not afraid of food.
I often sit at mealtime with the family and talk and laugh (or supervise ;)) having an experience while eating.
I enjoy the food I eat and am done eating once satisfied.
.
.
One example of a powerful connection is this-
I used to label myself as an emotional eater. But here’s the thing…by learning to label what I do as a behavior rather than labeling myself as something that may be perceived as negative…It helps remove the shame.
.

Here’s a nugget from psychology of eating ⤵️
“When we identify with a behavior to the point where it defines us, it can actually prevent us from managing the behavior.”
.
.
Rather than judgement, we can learn from experiences.
Rather than measure food, we can listen to our body.
Rather than judge body weight, we can value the human being for who they ARE. ❤️
