Burning the Midnight Oil
It is late. Just about midnight to be exact.
I can hear my husband happily snoring away down the hall.
So, why am I awake when I could be in dreamland with him?
I have been absolutely chomping at the bit to get all the completed courses reformatted and happy in their new home on this beautiful new website. Moving them from their former address to the new one was one tedious task. Once you take a chance on one of these courses you will understand when I tell you that I had to literally move each and every lesson, file, and word from one place to the other. It was a BIG job!
Once I got everything situated and in the correct locations, I looked through it all and it was plain. I added pictures here and there. I added Ponder Point and Tools & Supplements graphics to give it a little jazz. The quotes at the end of each week have a new quote card that is pretty.
That was all well and good, but at the same time, the headings, fonts, spacing, justification, everything was OFF. Ugh!
So, tonight, for at least 3 hours, after I worked at the spa all day, burned that Midnight Oil to make Course #3 not only beautiful, but easy to read and understand with some decent formatting.

Course #3 Mindful Nutrition & Self-Care
Week Two: Nourishing Your Body With Love
Part 3: Reframing Food Guilt & Shame with Self-Love
For many of us, food has been tied to rules, guilt, and shame for years. Whether it was feeling “bad” for eating certain foods, thinking we had to “earn” what we eat, or believing that we lacked willpower, these thoughts create a damaging cycle that disconnects us from our body’s natural wisdom.
It’s time to let go of food guilt and reclaim eating as an act of self-care. This means learning to approach food with compassion instead of criticism, recognizing that one meal or one choice does not define your health or worth.
Why Releasing Food Guilt Matters
Guilt around food can make eating feel like a source of stress instead of nourishment. Over time, this leads to:
Feeling out of control or disconnected from your eating habits.
Associating food with anxiety rather than enjoyment.
Ignoring your body’s signals in favor of external food “rules.”
But when you let go of judgment, you allow yourself to eat in a way that is balanced, joyful, and sustainable. The truth is, all foods can fit in a self-loving lifestyle, and the way you think about food is just as important as what you eat.
