About this episode
I know from experience when I had the most unhealthy relationship with food I've ever had, I actually didn't realize I had an unhealthy relationship with food at all. I thought what I was doing was healthy and how I felt was normal. It wasn't until I got onto the other side that I finally was able to realize just how unhealthy my relationship with food actually was. My boyfriend at the time, which is now my husband, pointed it out to me. But that was years into struggling with this unhealthy relationship. While I'm so glad that he did point it out, I could have had someone point it out sooner and avoided years of misery. That's why in this episode of Embrace Your Real, I want to walk you through what an unhealthy relationship looks like and the habits and feelings attached to it, so you can get a better idea as to whether or not your relationship with food is healthy. If you realize you have an unhealthy relationship with food after listening to this episode, let me share what helped me overcome every single one of these behaviors… It's macro counting. Once I learned how much my body actually needed daily and that it was okay to eat less-than-healthy foods if I made them fit into my macros, my relationship with food completely changed. I no longer thought about food all the time, I didn't let food control me, and I definitely didn't let it make me feel guilty. That being said, I want to personally invite you to join the MCMS Online Academy Community. You don't have to be a slave to the gym and eat boring food anymore!
