Stop Using Food to Feel Connected

It's so important that we learn how to shift our focus from using food as a way to connect. We have to shift the mindset of thinking that food is the only way that we can give and receive love, or even that feeling of connection. Especially for women, it’s so common for food and eating to become a primary means of bonding. Whether it's meeting friends for coffee and pastries, gathering for family meals, or even connecting with a partner, food often takes center stage in our daily lives and special celebrations.  These habits often start based on how many life events revolve around eating and food, and also because we see the idea of connecting over food modeled by our parents and caregivers.  The good news? You don’t have to use food as a means of connection, and without it you can start going deeper and engage with people and bond in a healthier way.  It is possible to shift your focus from using food to connect with people and start engaging with others in a more meaningful and healthier way.
