Welcome back to The Balanced Dietitian Podcast! Welcome, 2023! I hope you had a wonderful holiday in general and here we are in 2023. How do we feel? There are so many parts of me pulling when I am thinking about a new year. I love the new year, goal setting, reflection, and new year vibes. There is also a part of me that hates how diet culture gets involved in goal setting and the unrealistic expectations that we put on ourselves for the year.    Today I want to talk about goal setting but I want to do it differently. I really want to talk about what can be helpful and what is unhelpful and try to detach that from what we have been taught and what diet culture has taught us. A lot of us have been taught to set goals and motivate ourselves by shame.    In this episode, we discuss:    [03:10] Value-aligned goal setting and experience goals [04:12] We are NOT setting weight loss goals     [09:11] Set experience goals instead         [13:02] Things to consider when setting goals  [16:13] Goals about feeling, experience, and value Ready to heal your relationship with food FOR GOOD?
