Most people think eating healthy means eating less and punishing themselves through dieting and deprivation.

• They believe they lack willpower, but healthy habits have more to do with balancing hormones than sheer willpower.

• They think they need stricter goals when what they really need is a better system.

• They miss out on the best moments and the most rewarding relationships because they feel so bad about themselves.

• They think it’s a behavior problem, but it’s actually a brain-based issue.

• They believe they have to beat their bodies into submission to lose a few pounds. But their bodies won’t release the weight until it feels like a nurturing act.

• They feel broken and think they need fixing, but in reality, they just need to come home to themselves.

• They think it has to be harder than it is, but they simply need to fall in love with the process of living a healthy lifestyle.
