Dr. Linda Bacon’s “Live Well Pledge”

By Ellen Shuman, Emotional Eating Recovery Coach; A Weigh Out

The following is a pledge from Dr. Linda Bacon’s groundbreaking book, Health at Every Size; The Surprising Truth About Your Weight, reprinted here with her permission. I thought making this Pledge could be a wonderful way to begin this very weekend. What do you think?

LIVE WELL PLEDGE

Today, I will try to feed myself when I am hungry.
Today, I will try to be attentive to how foods taste and make me feel.
Today, I will try to choose foods that I like and that make me feel good.
Today, I will try to honor my body’s signals of fullness.
Today, I will try to find an enjoyable way to move my body.
Today, I will try to look kindly at my body and to treat it with love and respect.

About Ellen Shuman

I have worked in the Wellness Field for 30 years. I created an Emotional Eating & Binge Eating Disorder Recovery Program way before most people knew BED was an eating disorder, NOT a “willpower” issue. Personally, I suffered for years before finding answers and the help I needed and deserved! I became a Coach in 1997 to help others who were still suffering as I had. I love being a Coach!
