How we interact with food has much to do with our outlooks on it.

Ali Reti’s outlook on food used to have its foundation in fear. She did not know what would be helpful and what would be hurtful. She recalls, in high school, putting down Skittles and Dr Pepper for lunch, playing a soccer game in the afternoon, and wondering why she felt so tired, so drained, so undernourished.

“I just didn’t know. I looked at food with fear. Exactly because I didn’t know anything about it.” Ali recalls being fairly fit and skinny, but something was missing.

Ali says it wasn’t until she began working full time at as a Fitness Coach that she finally began see food as something undeserving of her fear. Knowledge about food gave her control and confidence.

“I have a good relationship with food now. I do not fear it. I see food now as fuel.”
