MYST 148: Participation Trophies

Weight loss is an unforgiving foe. There are no participation trophies given out because you “tried hard” and “always showed up.” The trophy is only given when you reach your goal and can be taken away if you regain your weight. So how can we deal with that?

Self-reward mini-goals!

MYST 142: What is food?

At the very basic level, food is energy and nutrients. It is what keeps our bodies functioning and growing. That is a pretty simple way of viewing food, but it is accurate.

But how do we treat food? Like it is a bandage, our counselor, our security blanket, and proof of our respect and love for others. Worse, we teach our children those same bad habits. Why are they bad habits?

They are bad habits because we misuse food for purposes that food just cannot perform.
