5. You are at a friend’s house after school, and she brings out a dozen chocolate-chip cookies to snack on. You:
a. Eat one or two cookies, and don’t worry about it.
b. Pig out on six cookies because you are starving.

Eating healthy is a tool to building your self esteem for a couple of reasons. If you take care of yourself, your self esteem grows, and eating right is taking care of yourself. Another reason is, if you eat badly you will talk bad about yourself, in other words you say bad things to yourself. The more you say bad things to yourself, the lower your self esteem goes. If you aren’t happy with what your body looks like on the outside because of eating poorly, it effects your sense of self. When you know you could be eating better and you’re not, you will feel badly about yourself. Even though we know that what is on the inside is what matters and it’s what truly makes us shine. If you are having a hard time moving around in your body because of your poor eating habits, it’s starts a negative Power Circle.
The Power Circle is:
“The more you do things you know are right for you-The more confidence you will have-The more confidence you have in yourself-The less you do things that aren’t good for you”.
Everything you do, eating healthy, developing good relationships with friends, exercising, being honest with yourself, everything is all wrapped up in how you feel about yourself, and your self esteem. If you are taking care of yourself, you feel good about yourself and your sense of self shines bright and powerfully. Take a look at your eating habits and do you feel good about what you are feeding your body? It’s the only body we have, so we need to treat it with care. Let me know some of the ways you keep your eating habits in check.
Keep Loving Yourself,
Debra
