What it sounds like to have FOOD FREEDOM
“Just because food is available doesn’t mean I need to eat it, I can stop when I’m satisfied.”
“There is no rush, I can take time to fully savor the flavors and textures in each bite.”
“What I eat is not a moral decision, so I don’t have to feel guilty.”
“My eating decisions are guided by the question: how will this food feel in my body?”
“There are no “forbidden foods”, but there are some that I freely choose not to eat because they don’t make me feel good.”
“When my body is properly nourished, that is when I look and feel my best.”
“I don’t have to compare what I’m eating to others because my body will communicate what it needs.”
“For most meals, I honor my body with nutritionally wealthy ‘everyday foods’, but occasionally I honor myself with ‘joy foods.’”
“I can stop eating before I am completely full; if I get hungry later I can eat more then.”
“Eating is more than just providing nutrients, it is also for celebrating, building community, and elevating daily life.”
“I can take my time and eat what I need, the food will not run out.”
“I want each meal to be as beautiful, colorful, and flavorful as possible.”
“It is ok for me to be hungry sometimes. I am not ignoring my body, but am not starving either.”
“My body is like a child: it is resilient yet requires care and gentleness.”
