Section 1. Unconditional Permission to Eat
Learning to make peace with food is a powerful step toward breaking free from rigid food rules and the relentless pressure to eat “perfectly.”
When you give yourself unconditional permission to enjoy all foods with trust and attunement, you begin to loosen the grip of diet mentality and reclaim your natural ability to nourish yourself.
This shift opens the door to a more balanced, compassionate relationship with food and your body—one that feels freeing, satisfying, and no longer weighed down by guilt or shame.

Section 2. Eating for Physical Rather Than Emotional Reasons
Breaking free from emotional eating starts with deepening your self-awareness and practicing compassionate self-care.
By learning to recognize and honor your emotions with kindness, you can begin to build resilience and find new ways to soothe, nourish, and re-energize yourself—without turning to food for comfort.
This isn’t about deprivation or willpower. It’s about giving yourself the tools to care for both your body and emotions in ways that truly support your well-being, so you no longer feel trapped in the cycle of using food to cope.

Section 3: Reliance on Internal Hunger and Satiety Cues
Relearning how to trust your body’s natural signals of hunger and fullness is a key step in breaking free from the dieting mindset.
Over time, restrictive food rules and emotional eating may have made it difficult to hear and honor these cues—but your body’s wisdom is still there, waiting to be reclaimed. By tuning in and responding with care, you can nourish yourself in a way that feels truly satisfying and supports your overall well-being. This process isn’t about control—it’s about rebuilding trust, creating balance, and finding the freedom to eat in a way that feels natural, intuitive, and aligned with your health. Your Score = Total number of "No" responses.
Section 4. Body - Food Congruence
This is about strengthening your connection with your body and deepening your awareness of how food truly feels—beyond your taste buds or instant gratification. Years of dieting and emotional eating may have made it difficult to recognize how different foods impact your energy, mood, and overall well-being.
By approaching these signals with curiosity and self-trust, you can start making choices that genuinely nourish and support you. This isn’t about restriction or rules—it’s about learning to listen to your body’s wisdom and aligning your eating with what helps you feel your best, both physically and emotionally.
