Positive affirmations and positive self talk have long been known to support and empower our mindset. So taking it a step further, seeing how we speak to ourselves about the choices we'll make and feeling confident navigating foods we fuel with during the week - it's all the same. 

Not know "what to eat" - signals to me a larger knowledge gap of someone knowing what foods with satisfy, satiate, and provide for their biological need (muscle maintenance, energy, hormone development, etc). It may also signal food fears and a position where someones environment will largely dictate their food habits.

I'm aware, the differences in these statements are very slight - however, one is a more empowering statement coming from a place of knowledge and confidence. The other is coming from a place of indecision and unknowing. 

What are your thoughts on this? Are you getting yourself to a place of "choices" or remaining in a place of "unknowing"

We all have a lived experienced that has shaped us into what we are today. For better, for worse, good or bad, we are a product of our past. 

Today I share my lived experience with food insecurity that led to my history of binge eating. I've learned to navigate it without understanding it for many years - which may have been a product of subconscious suppression or a lack of self reflection. The source of my challenges may be surprising. I know that I'm not alone in these challenges and I know we can all be better for becoming more aware of it.
