Through practical, everyday strategies and tips, I help you to become empowered to make a lasting difference in your child's wellbeing journey.

In this mini episode, I discuss;

• The 'all or nothing' eating mindset that many women have around Christmas/New year.
• The unhelpful pattern of overeating at Christmas only to restrict in the New year.
• My personal story of new year dieting and Christmas bingeing.
• The importance of moving away from this diet mentality and doing things differently this year.
• How to start rejecting dieting this new year, and strategies to implement to start finding peace with food and your body - including habituation practises, language reframes and intuitive eating practice.

In this mini episode I discuss;

• Food rewards being unhelpful because they;

-Encourage extrinsic motivation

-Are a form of Operant Conditioning

-Create a food hierachy instead of neutrality

-Build an emotional link to eating

-Create mixed messages

-Can decrease interest in reward-free activities

-Can undermine internal appetite cues

-Set up patterns that increase cravings

-Teaches that pleasure food must be earned

• That food should still be celebratory and bring joy
• What to do instead of using food as a reward.
