Just a thought: next time you feel a yell coming on, stop; take a few deep breaths; bring yourself into the moment; truly see the person at whom you planned to yell; and see if you can respond in a different way. A way that allows you both to hear what you are really trying to say.

Tribole and Resch describe the food anthropologist as an observer, a scientist of sorts. There are no judgments, no opinions, no rules. This…
So we know that Chatty Kathy is the chief of my food police, in keeping with Tribole and Resch’s Intuitive Eating model, I know that I also have a diet rebel (sort of the James Dean of dieting) and a nutrition informant (Ms. Tattletale).
