When food is just food…

…you might have to feel your feelings, and they might overwhelm you at times.

…you don't obsess about food anymore.

…you will have time and energy for other things.

 …you might feel disappointed that food no longer gives you as much pleasure/comfort.

…you will be free to eat intuitively without guilt or shame.

…you probably won't overeat very often.

…you may find peace with your body.
