You will eat again in a little while.

This simple realization changed everything for me. No longer did I feel the pressure to stuff myself or finish every morsel on my plate. I discovered the freedom of knowing that I could nourish myself again when the time was right.

I could eat again when I felt hungry. *mind-blown*

Food and our so-called “relationship” with it are hot topics these days.

But what does it really mean to have a relationship with food?

Are you just hungry, or do you genuinely enjoy the act of eating?

Is it purely a physical need, or is there something more to it?

Should you even have to define your relationship with food? No. Definitely an unpopular belief.  

It’s time to let go of the guilt and judgment. Food is fuel, plain and simple. You need it to energize your body, to keep yourself going through the long wedding weekend marathon.

Food=Food.  Food=Energy.  That’s the bottom line.  

So why have we labeled certain foods as “good” or “bad”? 

Whoever decided that a donut with breakfast and a slice of pizza on a Friday night was something to be ashamed of?

The truth is, no single food is inherently good or bad. It’s all about finding a balance that works for you.

This is your permission to go ahead, savor that donut alongside your morning coffee as you head to the church to meet your couples.

Treat yourself to a delicious slice of pizza from your favorite spot when the whirlwind of the wedding finally subsides.

And if you find yourself craving a post-wedding Frosty from Wendy’s, indulge in it without reservation. 

But remember, there’s no need to go overboard.

You have the power to make choices that honor your body, well-being, and your long-term health goals.

In the chaos of the wedding industry, it’s easy to forget that you’re not living in a world of food scarcity. You don’t have to panic and overindulge as if it’s your last meal.

You’re going to eat again in a little while.

It’s a simple but mind-blowing concept that can free you from the stress and anxiety surrounding food.

Breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, snack—there’s always a time and occasion to eat.  By understanding the importance of balance in your eating habits, you can tap into a whole new level of energy and well-being. There’s no need to resort to binge-eating; what you really need are sustainable practices that keep you fueled and always ready for any task your crazy wedding weekend presents you with. 

Empower yourself to make conscious choices.

Remember, you have control over your decisions, and nobody else is responsible for what goes into your body. Choose foods that nourish you, that give you the sustained energy to tackle the challenges ahead.

In this blog post, we’ve explored the importance of fueling our bodies effectively for the wedding industry marathon. We’ve challenged the notion of good versus bad foods, encouraging you to embrace balance and moderation. By understanding that you will eat again, you can let go of the scarcity mindset and find peace in nourishing yourself when the time is right.

Now it’s time to take action.

Listen to your body, honor its needs, and make choices that support your well-being.

Prioritize balanced meals, shift your mindset away from guilt and judgment, and celebrate the journey of finding balance—one bite at a time.

As wedding professionals, you have a unique role in bringing wedding dreams to life. But in order to do that effectively, you must first take care of yourself.

Fuel your body for success.

Find peace right in the middle of a busy wedding weekend.

Embrace the joy of food, nourish yourself mindfully, and watch as your energy soars and your passion thrives.

Are you finally ready to secure balance and fuel your body for success?

Here’s to fueling ourselves for the better. Cheers!
