Own Your Eating

Book excerpt: Think back to when you were a kid and try to recall your most favorite food to eat - we all have one. Something that you loved so dearly that the mere thought of it had you frothing at the mouth and crippled with hunger pangs until that craving was satisfied. Mine was the cheesiest, gooiest, most mouthwatering bowl of macaroni and cheese. In fact, it's still my favorite food to this day. But, I'm not just talking about any old melty pasta dish - I'm talking about the one and only Kraft Mac & Cheese. Just one whiff of that cheesy goodness or a glimpse of that blue ninety-nine cent box and I'm immediately transported back to my childhood when my mom would whip me up the biggest bowl with extra love and care. I'm sure your favorite food brings you that wave of nostalgia too. Sadly, though, there was a brief time in my life where enjoying some Mac & Cheese no longer brought back fond memories. It became synonymous with a "cheat day." Instead of bringing me warm & fuzzy feelings of comfort and joy, my beloved meal would leave me feeling immensely guilty and ashamed. I know I don't speak alone here when I tell you that deprivation IS awful, both mentally and physically. Suppressing your desire to have your favorite treat because it is somehow "bad" is no way to live your life. I'm overjoyed to tell you it DOESN'T have to be this way ever again. You can eat the foods you love while fueling your body properly and keeping your nutrition on point. Your taste buds and mind will thank you endlessly for this. That is what makes the Flexible Eating lifestyle so unique - by design it will nourish the body and make you feel HAPPY about what you are eating and help you create the balance your body craves. This book will teach you how to live a lifestyle that is realistic and sustainable in our modern world. You're going to learn how to be happy about the things you eat, to go to bed eager to wake up the next morning and achieve your goals one meal at a time, and most importantly you're going to... OWN YOUR EATING!!
