Focus instead on how your body feels when you eat certain foods and learn from it. But if no foods are “bad” there is nothing to feel guilty for. Guilt, is a necessary emotion when we do something we need to apologize for. Shame does us no good, because it tells us that we are inherently bad, which means we don’t have the ability to change, and that’s not true. Guilt says “I ate something bad.” Shame says, “I’m bad for eating that. We have been trained through diet culture to feel guilt about our food choices.

The “track” you’re trying so desperately to stay on, is actually a hamster wheel, which is why you’re spinning in circles.

But when you’ve spent years restricting certain foods, it’s really hard to make that mindset shift. She taught me that ultimately, no food is bad food, it’s all just nutrients. I learned SO much from her program about food and the macro- and micro-nutrients that they provide us. She doesn’t tell you what you can and can’t eat, but she helped me see how different foods impacted me physically and mentally. She works with each individual to find what works for you. That’s because she doesn’t believe in a one-size fits all approach. Working with her in her small group program was a huge step in my nutrition journey. I want to give a shout out to my girl, Fitlicity.
