Many of our clients come to us with the idea that food is the problem behind their extra weight or health condition. And, while what we eat certainly contributes to extra weight and health challenges, we've seen that the real problem is what's driving the choices about what foods to eat.
So often we make poor food choices when we find ourselves reaching for food when we aren't hungry. When we reach for food to help us feel better emotionally, to help us settle down and feel better, the results aren't ideal over time.
Join us to hear more.
When we wake up to the fact that we're eating to deal with feelings that we have, that's the first step. Just notice what the thinking or feeling is and let it move on by. Nothing to do.
Next week we will share more about how to be free of this cycle.
The recipe this week is Thai Red Curry Rice. It isn't real spicy hot like Thai can be sometimes, but it has a delicious blend of flavors and textures. It's a one-dish-meal like we love. Give it a try.
To your Amazing Health,
Connie and Bill
