In today’s episode, I’m talking about we start developing our relationship with food during our first days of life! By the time we’re three years old, our belief in our ability to trust ourselves has already begun. Trusting ourselves with food is an issue many people struggle with in their adult lives … do I really trust myself to make healthy choices most of the time? Do I trust myself to stop eating when I am satisfied? Do I trust myself to stick to my grocery list when I go to the store? Do I trust myself enough to have trigger foods in my house? Each stage of our development is critical in determining how we act as adults, not just with food but in our relationships with others and how we feel about ourselves. Today I’ll explain one prominent theory about social and emotional development and of course, will tie it all back into our relationship with food! Let’s go!
