Acceptance of who you were meant to be is a huge part of positive food habits.

Even (or especially in times that like holidays) that we’re easily reminded of our “baggage” what helps is to remember to live in the present. Remember - the power of now!

Chapter 5 of Marc David’s book, The Slow Down Diet.

We may fall back into old habits/thinking but the better we get at recognizing we got triggered the more quickly we can choose to forgive ourself and look toward the future rather than getting hung up on past events.

Our feelings about events are created by the meaning we assign to what happens in our life. As we experience frustrating events, we can actually learn to reframe the narrative around the event so it doesn’t have to create stress leading to a challenge with emotional eating.

Feelings go up and down. The better we get at regulating our emotions, the better our relationship will be with food.

As we learn to upgrade our thinking, we can then upgrade our habits too.
