What have "favourite food things" got to do with self-esteem?

Well may you ask.  In fact a number of visitors to the blog have asked us this question.  And the answer quite simply, is "everything".

Because we all know people (including ourselves) who because of age, size, shape, and looks have often "gone without" some of these special little treats, all because of other people's attitudes and comments over time.  In other words their disparaging and discriminatory attitudes have embedded themselves into our feelings of confidence and indeed our worth.

I've been an advocate for a long time in encouraging women to see themselves as being deserving of enjoying life's little pleasures, including "favourite food things".   None of us here in the team suggest going "overboard" but having the freedom to choose when to enjoy adds to our own personal self-esteem.  Why not try it for yourself?
