About this episode

To eat the Halloween candy, or not eat the Halloween candy.. that is the question. 

 

Halloween kicks off what I call 'the food holiday season'! From today, until Valentine's Day, there will be food EVERYWHERE. This can bring up so many thoughts like..

How do I navigate the extra food? 

What if I overeat? 

What happens if I gain weight?

How can I stay focused on my goals?

Should I stay focused on my goals?

 

Here is the thing about empowered eating - there is no off season because you are always in the drivers seat. To be an empowered eater means you are aware, you are awake, and you are intentionally choosing how to take care of your body.

 

With this in mind, I know it is possible to enjoy holiday foods while setting appropriate boundaries and continuing to feel good. In today's episode, I share three to-do’s to kickstart your empowered eating holiday season!
