Episode Synopsis

Food is a central part of celebrating! It is a way we show love, how we like to gather, how we enjoy each other's company, and such an integral part of gathering! However, when dealing with dietary restrictions or just trying to observe what you are eating, it can feel isolating and a big frustration. To the point that you may just want to stay home! Don't do it! In this podcast episode, we discuss making our celebrations for the 4th of July and other holidays more than just about food, using these four suggestions. Plan Activities Beyond Eating. Embrace a Healthy Menu. Practice Mindful Eating and Portion Awareness. Remember, Perfection is not the Goal!  Enjoy your 4th of July by focusing on the people, the freedoms we enjoy, and make food a part of celebrating, but not the entire focus!
