✨ Tips for untangling food guilt ✨
Food guilt can feel heavy & persistent but it doesn’t have to stay that way.
Next time it shows up, try moving through these gentle steps:
1️⃣ Notice the guilt – Pause and name what you’re feeling. Awareness is the first step to realise you're body is trying to tell you something.
2️⃣ Challenge the rule – Ask yourself: “Whose rule is this? Does it actually serve me?”
3️⃣ Reframe the thought – Instead of “I was bad for eating that,” try: “I am allowed to enjoy food, and one meal/snack does't undo my whole day”
4️⃣ Listen to your body – What does your body need right now? Comfort, nourishment or simply permission?
5️⃣ Practice food neutrality. Remember: food has no moral value. It’s neither “good” or “bad”— it’s just food.
💛 Be gentle with yourself. This isn't always easy in the moment but even the after thought can be helpful.
What I like to remind ALL of my clients of is food is meant to be eaten, enjoyed and shared—not judged.
