Are you afraid of your food or are you in charge of your food?

The truth is most of us aren’t.  I know for so long I let crazy diet rules control my food decisions.  You know the kind – like don’t eat more than 1,200 calories a day or don’t eat ANYTHING not on this short approved list.

Here’s what that did.  It made me afraid of the foods I love and even afraid of so many delicious and nutritious foods that serve my body and my goals.

It also made me feel terrible - because every time I ate something that wasn’t aligned with those crazy rules I felt like I was a bad person.  And that meant I needed to punish myself by beating myself up internally with self-judgment and self-criticism AND externally by working out longer and harder the next day.

This is not God’s plan for me or you!

God gave us all the amazing tools we need to learn how to control our food.

He blessed us with hunger hormones dedicated to helping us eat the right amount.

He blessed us with a super-powerful human brain to help us decide ahead of time what we’re willing to eat.

In this podcast, I’m going to share all this with you and more so that you can better understand and evaluate your current relationship with food.  I want you to see how it’s possible to not be afraid and take control of your food, so your choices can start working for you rather than against you.

You’ll learn:

  • How diet mentality perpetuates our fear of food.
  • How being hungry - and even hangry - isn’t actually a bad thing (from the woman that used to say she was hangry all the time!)
  • Why being afraid of food holds us back from losing weight.
  • How to build true awareness and understanding about this in your life.
  • Simple steps you can take to start changing this in your life.
