Who else is loving all of the fall vibes?! Fall brings cooler weather, pumpkin flavored everything, and lots of reasons to gather. Whether it is a tailgate party, friend’s gathering, or Halloween Party... Oftentimes the fall presents opportunities where food is present in the form of appetizers, tapas, and snack options. For some people, this can be a little stressful. A few things we encourage you to do:
Show up ready for a meal or snack but try not to show up ravenous. (* Hint Hint* This could mean having a snack an hour or two before the event. But definitely not “saving up” for the food you will eat here.)
Plate what you intend to eat. Plate what sounds good to you. Plate a variety of foods with different textures, temperatures, and flavors. Plate the amount you desire.
Give yourself endless permission. If you are still hungry once you finish your first plate, take a moment and pause, engage in conversation, and check in with hunger & fullness. Then, give yourself endless permission to continue nourishing your body.
This is your friendly reminder that nourishing your body does not have to be overly complicated and can shift and change based on the season and what is available to you.
