I want to eat a loaf of bread, it’s sweet and soft and comforting but it goes against everything I believe in and everything I teach my clients so I settle for a healthy snack of veggie sticks with freshly ground pepper and raw, unsalted nuts. I eat them slowly and chew them carefully; mindful snacking.

Your mood affects the food you eat, but the food also affects your mood so I choose the better of choices. I’m not in a bad mood, maybe a little bit sad or rather misplaced and defeated…but only for a moment. I deal with it by writing about it in my journal, I’ll get it off my chest for now and keep it off my “belly.button.thighs” for always.
