Embracing a Healthier Relationship with Food

As a 40-year-old woman, I have struggled with different types of eating patterns for most of my adult life. From restrictive dieting to overeating, it has been a constant battle. However, I am now at a point where I am ready to make a positive change. I have come to realize that my relationship with food goes hand in hand with my mental well-being. I am seeking support and guidance on how to break free from these harmful habits and develop a healthier approach to food. I know it won’t be easy, but I am committed to making this change for myself and my overall health. If anyone has any advice or resources they can share, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance for your support.
