How Far You’ve Come

Close your eyes and recall what your eating was like yesterday. Can you remember what you ate throughout the day? Take a few minutes to think about how you’ve been feeling about the way you’re eating lately. Are you generally satisfied with the choices you’re making? Are those choices helping you meet or maintain your health goals? Does the way you’re eating bring you pleasure? Are you generally making nutritious choices?

How do you know when eating has become a balanced part of your life? We asked that question of a number of clients and here’s a sampling of what they said:

“When I don’t have to think about it anymore.”

“I know I’m eating well when I feel good.”

“When I can be in a situation that used to trigger overeating and I feel perfectly in control.”
