Have a healthy relationship with food!

Healthy eating is about more than the food on your plate-it is also about how you think about food.
Honor your hunger-Food is necessary for a healthy body, so why do we try to 'curb/ignore hunger"? Once you reach the moment of excessive hunger, all intentions of moderate, conscious eating fly out the window!
Feel your fullness-Listen for body signals that tell you you are no longer hungry. Pause in the middle of eating and ask yourself how the food tastes, and what your current fullness level is.
Don't excessively restrict-If you tell yourself that you cant' have a particular food, it can lead to intense feeling of deprivation that build into strong cravings and, often binge eating.
Cope with emotions without using food- Eating for emotional hunger will only make you feel worse in the long run.
