National Nutrition Month has begun! So what does this exactly mean? Do we all go on a diet, start exercising, counting calories, or doing all things in the name of health?
The answer is...NO!
I challenge you to take this time to truly examine your relationship with food. So often we are told that it is all about what specific food items you are eating, but if that were true everyone would have this figured out, right? Food is not black and white. Our relationship with food is complicated, but I promise it does not have to be.
Some questions you may ask yourself to start the journey...
1. Do I eat when I am hungry and stop when I am full?
2. Do I eat for reasons other than hunger? i.e. emotions, boredom, stress...etc.
3. Do I do physical activity because I enjoy it or because I feel like I have to?
4. Do I incorporate a variety of foods?
5. Do I have a balance of carbohydrates, dietary fats, and protein?
If you would like to begin the journey of improving your relationship with food please email me directly at caseyvoorhies@gmail.com, call (817) 454-4801, or fill out the online contact form. I am excited for your journey to begin!
