One of my biggest triggers for unnecessary eating (eating when I'm not hungry) is mental fatigue. I do very brain-heavy work, and snacking helps me get through the day. At least, that's what I tell myself, and I recognize that as a lie, but when I'm mentally fatigued, I often feel like I don't have the mental energy to act with intention. What are some strategies or intentions that can help me be successful when my brain is already on overload?
Not bringing home the foods I do not want to eat anymore has reshaped my habit of eating sweets or salty snacks Plus, if a food doesn’t rate good or excellent on the Yuka app it doesn’t come home. There are entire isles in the big box stores I avoid. No more additives, pesticides, or preservatives. It is helping little by little. Caffeine is the hardest. I love coffee and tea. But I drink my tea with less fat like cream. Coffee I like that way so I’ve been weaning off the coffee. Sugar is hard. No more ice cream or other sweet treats. First month hard. Won’t lie. Now just another day. We have to keep going and not give up. Health is an option always if your intentions manifest.

I read this article three times this morning. So many keys to empowerment to unpack.
I’m going to an all day birthday party today armed with health promoting intentions and a fruit and veggie snackle box.
