Have to do this. Can't eat that.

Over and over, these mandates drive a person crazy. Many of our clients say that it builds up over time, and they snap. They just want to eat and eat, in opposition to feeling pushed around by all the responsibilities and demands on them. They want to feel free, like they can have or do whatever they want in at least one small area of life. Can't food be the one place they get to cut loose?

In this episode, listen to Sarah's candid journey about her relationship with food and feelings of resentment. Discover three key strategies to overcome limiting beliefs and emotional eating: transforming 'have to' and 'can't' statements, engaging in activities that make you feel powerful and free, and accepting the realities of how food choices impact your well-being. Tune in as we dive into breaking habits, boosting motivation, and embracing the power of food for a healthier, happier life.
