is it okay if eating sweets makes you happy?

Break the Diet Cycle

Favorite halloween candy on three! 1, 2, 3. JUNIOR MINTS! Whatever your go to halloween sweet - we need to talk. It's okay if you love sweets - including halloween candy. And, it's okay if you love food in general. Too often new Intuitive Eaters try to banish their love of food by turning Intuitive Eating into a restrictive diet. When it comes to sweets, if you focus too much on *whether or not you should keep sweets in the house* and *stopping when full* you miss the bigger picture: allowing SATISFACTION to guide your eating effortlessly, so you finally feel free! What if you could relax, and confidently keep sweets in the house with no more guilt? This week, you can use available halloween candy as an opportunity to learn how to create this exact kind of relationship with sweets. Instead of spiraling out this week over candy, Melissa will use this solo episode to show you how to find some peace as you:

• Let go of food morality, guilt, and shame that hurts your intuitive eating process
• Consider the satisfaction you get from your food (and life!) - this week, and generally
• Feel more comfortable with an “All foods fit” mindset as part of your gentle nutrition approach
• Self-assess where candy binges are coming from if you’ve already stopped dieting and no longer really call foods “good” and “bad” in your mind

Melissa also gives you some reflection questions to reframe your relationship with food by surfacing thoughts and feelings that might be getting in the way.
