There’s no such thing as bad food

Silencing the Food Police

The food police are the critical voices in your head that label foods as “good” or “bad.” Challenging these voices helps to create a more positive and flexible approach to eating.

Steps to Challenge the Food Police

1. Recognize Negative Thoughts: Identify the critical thoughts that judge your eating habits.

2. Reframe Your Thinking: Replace negative thoughts with positive affirmations. Remind yourself that no food is inherently “bad.”

3. Embrace Flexibility: Allow yourself to enjoy a variety of foods without guilt or restriction.

4. Seek Support: Talk to friends, family, or a professional about your struggles with food judgment. Support can help you to overcome these critical thoughts.
