How do YOU use food?

A conversation was brought up in my Free online motivation and support group for health and fitness and i thought i would share with you all!  

Many people are raised with food (most notably treats) being used as a source of 'reward' or as something that is associated with celebrations or achievements like getting an 'A' on a report card or being a "good girl".......while this, in the moment, seems like a fantastic idea, it can also set precedent and lead to very unhealthy behavioral associations throughout life.....

Many people continue with these associations and end up turning to food in times of celebration, stress, as reward etc......

There are so many other healthy ways to celebrate and reward - food can be seriously misused and can end up, as such, being a cause of stress and anxiety, or comfort and reward for life.  I encourage each of you to assess how you look at food.  If you have children, contemplate how your treatment of food, say, as a reward for good behaviour (treats in particular) can be a cause of lifelong behavioral associations that may not ever be broken........

Let's make changes now so we don't have to later!  Let's lead by example and place proper value on food.  FUEL FOR OUR PRECIOUS MACHINES......we are SO WORTH IT!
