What does "normal" eating mean to you?

We hear so often things like "I don't want to meal plan, I just want to eat like normal people do." What exactly is that?

To be honest, normal eating should be eating when our body is giving us ques to eat and stopping when we've had enough. It should be that simple.

But then the drama floods in and we start putting all of this baggage on ourselves about not getting to eat what, when and how much we want. Or not being able to go out with friends and family because we are scared of the food that will be in front of us.

We need to stop all that mess.

It's all in the perception that we create for ourselves. When we fix our thinking around situations with clarity, it makes everything easier, and then new habits are formed and a natural (or if you prefer normal) relationship with food happens.

Do you want to go to a restaurant? Do it. Do you want to order something you love? Plan it. Just eat if you're hungry and stop when you're satisified...Not completely unbutton-your-jeans stuffed.

We will never, I repeat NEVER tell you that a food is "good" or "bad" or that you should or shouldn't eat something. That's not what a healthy relationship with food looks like. It really is all about how you're thinking, what your brain is trying to convince you of, and how you are going to make reasonable, calm and drama-free choices that benefit your future self greatly. Food doesn't control you ~ You grab that control back.

You've got this. Let's choose some things today that our future selves will definitely thank us for.

When we are curious with ourselves, work through perceived obstacles in our brains, and come up with plans to handle them ahead of time...Magic happens and goals get knocked out.

Let's do it together. Starting today.
