Thanks, everyone, for your great comments! So glad to see that so many folks are already on board with this approach to fueling ourselves.

And, Diana — I’m from Texas so I am so on board with having something down there. Except this time of year — my still-in-Texas siblings are all wishing they were up here to escape the heat. Although our summer hasn’t exactly been stellar so far (too much rain and coolness). Uh oh, I promised I was going to stop complaining about that!

Thanks to Miz for the opportunity to speak to her Bumbling Band!

Great post! I love the idea of food as mental fuel. I think about how much we are trying to avoid using food for comfort, and then I see my baby trying to nurse when he is upset and I realize that erasing this food=comfort mindset is probably impossible to let go of.
I guess again we need to seek balance and moderation in how we indulge ourselves.

Love this post! If I hadn’t relaxed and opted for the good fuel options *most* of the time and my beloved splurgettes every now and then, I honestly don’t think I would have been so successful. And I *know* I couldn’t have maintained it.

That is so true and a very big part of why my lifestyle is working for me.

By eating the right foods, you will get more energy and feel healthier. Junk foods do the contrary on your body.

I never saw it this way! It’s our emotions about food & eating that need to be monitored. Not Food itself! I can now see how improper dieting can set us up for wrong eating habits based on our ideas about food. Great post!

I love your balance. I have a hard time when I hear people say that you just need to eat to live and not live to eat. There is a fine balance between this statement and I feel that you described it perfectly!

So often in a diet mentality we punish ourselves for thinking of food as anything but fuel. I refuse to choke down food I don’t like or what doesn’t feel good just to get results. I’ll try new things (even a few times, just finally kicked regular bread to the curb and am doing sprouted grain, I used to hate the stuff), but if it doesn’t make me happy, it doesn’t work.

Still trying to work out the “how much” part, but I won’t give up!
