Gratitude with Food
Gratitude is one way to make peace and establish a good relationship with food while enjoying it more. When taking food for granted, it is easy to slip into mindless eating. When eating mindlessly, you may be more like not be fully satisfied, which can lead to over eating.
In moderation and maintaining a well-balanced diet, we should be able to enjoy all foods we love to eat without feeling guilty.
