Your beliefs
and values
around eating
may be doing
more harm
than good-for
yourself and
your family.

ATTITUDE RESET
" Fun foods " are
available anytime,
in moderation.
Maybe in the spring, you announce
that you're swearing off carbs to
prep for summer swimsuit season.
Or you celebrate the end of
each grueling week with a lavish,
high-calorie meal. Perhaps you've
told your children that they earned
cookies or ice cream because they
behaved at dinner.
We all have certain attitudes and
habits around food, usually ingrained
in us by our families of origin. Some
of these attitudes are positive-they
might be tied to beloved traditions
and memories, such as learning to
cook with a grandparent or discovering
new fl avors on a vacation. Yet
many times, our attitudes about food
are negative-they lead to unhealthy
habits, a distorted body image or feelings
of guilt about what we eat.
Your feelings about food, even if
you're not aware of them, profoundly
aff ect your behavior and that of your
family, including your children.
For example, if you focus on
dieting and weight loss, your children
may pick up on it and start to
limit their own food intake. Or if
you always off er snacks to placate
your kids-and you do the same to
soothe yourself-they may develop
a tendency to reach for goodies
when they're feeling anxious instead
of trying more mindful strategies,
such as meditation.
You owe it to yourself and your
family to begin to dismantle your
unhealthy views of food. Here are
some ways to do it.

YOURSELF
Identifying your ingrained beliefs
about food oſt en requires some
soul-searching.
