It’s as if I am my own ally now, instead of disciplining myself with negative thoughts of deprivation
Through learning tools to combat mindless eating and embracing seasonal eating concepts, she transformed her relationship with food from self-discipline and deprivation to self-acceptance and becoming her own ally.
I feel as if I have more muscle and less fat. I have also learned more tools for combatting mindless eating and my convictions have been renewed! I really like the concept of seasonal eating and I believe there is some relief in viewing eating in this way. It’s as if I am my own ally now, instead of disciplining myself with negative thoughts of deprivation, I am helping myself out. This is a major shift and it has lightened my spirits and made me much more accepting of myself.
