With Halloween around the corner, the idea of being around so much candy may be giving you a real fright (sorry, I couldn\\u2019t help it). And I get it. There was a time when being around candy felt so conflicting to me. I wanted to eat it, but not eat too much of it. I wanted to enjoy my favorites, but more often than not, when I started to eat one Snickers bar, it would turn into far too many.\\xa0

The common advice that we get from diet culture is to not have candy in the house and get rid of it as soon as we can. Or, to just buy the candy we don\\u2019t like so we won\\u2019t be tempted. Wouldn\\u2019t it be nice to just feel relaxed around candy and trust yourself enough to know that you can eat it if you\\u2019d like it and leave it when you\\u2019re not wanting it? I want to guide you to that place.\\xa0

On the podcast, I\\u2019m going to share with you why the conventional advice around avoiding Halloween candy doesn\\u2019t work. And offer you a common sense approach using intuitive eating principles. I\\u2019ll share what to do this year, if you haven\\u2019t started practicing intuitive eating yet and what to do if you\\u2019ve been practicing intuitive eating for a while but want to feel even more free around all foods, including Halloween Candy.\\xa0
