Joyful Eating Book

Are you discontent with your body? Do you worry that you enjoy food too much? Or feel like your eating is out of control? It’s likely that it’s not you or the food that is to blame, but food rules and diet mentality.

Nutritionist, Tansy Boggon, shares how aspiring for your perfect weight or optimal health can keep you trapped in a cycle of diet after diet or constantly searching for the next miracle answer to weight loss or enduring health.

Tansy guides you through self-reflection activities, assisting you to:

Free yourself from yo-yo dieting and emotional eating
Feel comfortable and content in your own skin
Reconnect with and trust your body’s internal cues
Uncover who you are without fear of not being good enough
Find your way to nourish your body and mind, intuitively

You will find no meal plans or guidelines in this book but a refreshing philosophy of self-acceptance and self-reflection activities to help you nourish yourself to feel your most alive and joyful self.

In an engaging and sensitive way, Tansy continually invites the reader to explore their belief that they are not perfect as they are. As an ultramarathon runner with no eating concerns, I found the book incr edibly helpful in allowing me to let go of expectations and to transition from a goal - setting runner to a runner who feels into the moment and runs for joy. I believe that in Joyful Eating, Tansy shares wisdom and presents extensive research and examples t hat are of benefit to everyone, whether they have a history of dieting, are striving for good health or any life goals.

In Joyful Eating, Tansy does more than debunk why diets don’t work; she shines a light on the countless beliefs that starve people of happiness and contentment with their bodies, and themselves. She has packed Joyful Eating with practical tools to help people release their sabotaging thoughts, enabling them to eat more intuitively and find joy in t he moment.

While I was reading Tansy’s book, I felt at ease. It was as if we had known each other for years, and she was a trusted friend giving guidance and support on issues that I’d struggled with for years. After living with food addiction for 10 years and decades of abusing food and my body, reading Joyful Eating put a lot of things into perspective and made sense. Learning tha t somehow it is possible to enjoy food again instead of using it as a reward or punishment system will be life - changing for those who read this book and take on board the stories and experiences shared. Food is used for so many reasons - boredom, stress, e motional and habit. I am slowly learning that I can eat joyfully and truly make peace with what I eat and my beautiful body. Thank you, Tansy, for making your book very easy to read and absorb the information. The exercises are practical and make it easy to bring these strategies into our everyday life.'
