Quotes to ponder:

"When we eat, we are feeding something. Sometimes it's hunger. Sometimes it's boredom or sadness."

"Food is a big part of the equation. To pass up on every social occasion, dinner outside the home or kid's birthday party because we're worried about accidentally consuming an extra gram of sugar, is taking healthy living too far."

"Our body knows what it needs and it tells us, but if we’ve been ignoring or overriding these signals for years, we often have to start again and learn how to listen."
