As a young mother, my mom seemed to struggle with figuring out how to feel good about food and about her body. (I talk about this in my Wake Up Eager life journey story.) Growing up around this angst influenced me to also have some tension in these areas. Luckily I stumbled upon people and resources that helped me soothe the tension and create a natural and easy relationship with food and my body. Being able to make this inner and outer change has required that I be focused and determined.. Why is Eating Healthy Important? Food is everywhere, it dominates our culture. When you look around you can see that my mom, me and maybe even you are not the only people trying to strike the right balance so we can feel healthy and good in our bodies.
If you're 'in angst' within, around food (meaning eating things and feeling guilty and fat afterward) it's hard to feel eager, energized, clear-minded and motivated. You carry your body with you every where you go, and if you're not comfortable in your own skin then its not so easy to do and be all that you want to do and be. Why is eating healthy important? Because 'making peace' with food and your body means you're finding harmony with an essential part of who you are. As you make more decisions to honor and love yourself, you tap into the good feeling person you came here to be.

Tools and Tips:These tools help me everyday. (It's an ongoing process...) Contrary to common belief, it is possible to feel better and better as we pass through time. Use these tools and tips on healthy eating to help you find more harmony with food, your body AND mostly importantly, the full and joyous life you deserve! Why is Eating Healthy Important? Action Step #1:
Fully Grasp: The Law of Energy Balance
To feel in harmony with food (and to stay at a healthy weight) you must burn more calories than you consume. If you're 'at war' with food (gaining weight and feeling lethargic) you're consuming more calories than you burn each day. Wow. It's so simple. Getting this is key to life-long peace with food and your body. It's so simple (and so important) I don't want you to skip over it, let's say it again in another way: Look at your body like a living calorie bank and calories, like money. You store calories in your body, like money in a bank. You make energy deposits and withdrawals from the bank, depending on how high or low your energy costs are. Eat too much, with limited energy withdrawal, and your account (you) gets fat. Eat too little and your account (you), dwindles to nothing. Eating healthy is important because too much food is a calorie surplus, and that surplus will get stored as body fat.

Water
Here's the secret: Drink water. You're probably thinking, "Suzie that's not a secret!" I agree, it's not really a secret but it's like one because it's ignored by almost everyone. We all know that drinking water is good for us, right? But who's actually doing it? Do you ever wake up feeling groggy? Do you get sleepy during the day? Do you sometimes run out of steam when exercising? Do you feel fatigued? Usually we don't associate any of the above problems with water intake. We assume we're catching a cold, that we're over-worked or that we didn't sleep well. Dehydration could be the problem. Water is a simple solution to try. So simple in fact we often miss it. Water is the most abundant nutrient in your body. Without water nothing in your body can function properly and it's the most important nutrient in your body. Watch this video (see Ellen and other talk show hosts) (Opens a new window.) talk about my favorite 'help me get in the habit of drinking water' tool: the Hydracoach. I used the Hydracoach for 4 weeks straight - to train myself to get into the "water habit". Now, it's a habit and I do it automatically, carrying a regular water bottle with me everywhere. This works because it helps you measure and stay accountable, and you teach yourself how good you feel when you're drinking the right amount of water. You also notice the impact of how you feel when you don't consume enough. Order the product on the Hydracoach home page (Opens a new page) for a 'cool' accountability coach and start drinking! BTW, I recently saw the Hydracoach on sale at discount store - Tuesday Morning. You might be able to find one there. Why is Eating Healthy Important? Action #3:
