It’s important to understand that your relationship with food goes deeper than fuelling your body. Unlike animals that eat solely for survival, humans eat for a variety of reasons, such as joy, pleasure, culture, tradition, socialization, and to fuel their bodies.

Signs of a good relationship with food include:

• You give yourself unconditional permission to eat the foods you enjoy.
• You listen and respect your body’s natural hunger cues.
• You eat when you’re hungry and stop when you’re full.
• You don’t obsess over the number on the scale.
• You don’t let the opinions of others dictate which foods you eat.
• You don’t feel the need to justify your food choices.
• You understand that you’re not defined by the foods you eat.
• You enjoy all food in moderation.
• You choose foods that make you feel your best.
• Calories are not the focus of your food choices.

1. Don’t label good and bad foods
2. Know no one’s perfect: Avoid hedonistic eating tendencies (understand if you eat when sad, stressed, bored and find work arounds).
3. Planning
4. Learn more about foods & focus on health
5. Eat when you’re hungry
6. Fill your day with healthy foods (Have healthy options readily available)
7. Never punish yourself

Developing a good relationship with food takes time, patience, and kindness toward yourself. Allow yourself to navigate this journey without judgment, and take it day by day.
