Permission to treat yourself!

Do you give yourself permission to treat? Food should not be associated with guilt or deprivation! Food is love, family, fun, celebratory and nutrition for the soul! Your mantra should be "everything in moderation, not deprivation!" So don't rule out food groups or treats, but give yourself permission to enjoy a slice of life on the sweet side, every once in awhile. Researchers have found that healthy eaters who treat themselves on occasion, were more likely to stay with their healthy lifestyle of diet and exercise. Now that's music to my ears! So with that here's your permission to enjoy a cupcake. Yep, it's National Cupcake Week! So enjoy the 80/20 rule to health eating....80% of the time you are choosing the foods that fit your healthy lifestyle, and on occasion (20%) you get to treat yourself! Now that's 1 cupcake, ok? But ENJOY IT!!!
