You don’t need to be on a “crazy” diet to be struggling with food.In fact, some of the most common signs of imbalance are subtle — and deeply normalized in our culture.

If you’ve been feeling off, stuck, or overwhelmed when it comes to your health, these five signs might be your body’s way of asking for a reset.

5 Signs You Need to Reset Your Relationship with Food and Your Body

1. You think about food all the time.

Planning meals, avoiding certain foods, obsessing over calories… it takes up so much mental energy. If food is always on your mind, that’s a sign your relationship with it may be out of alignment. A good first step is to reset your relationship with food.

2. You feel guilty after eating.

Whether it’s indulging in dessert or “eating too much,” guilt after meals is not normal — and it’s not helpful. It pulls you into shame and makes it harder to trust yourself.

3. You avoid the mirror or constantly body check.

If how you feel about your body changes your mood or confidence daily, it’s a sign your worth is too tied to appearance. Your body deserves respect every day — not just when it looks a certain way.

4. You’re always chasing the next fix.

Clean eating, Whole30, counting macros, tracking apps... You keep hoping this will be the answer. But nothing sticks, and you’re left frustrated and burnt out.

5. You’ve lost touch with hunger and fullness.

You’re either skipping meals or eating past fullness without knowing why. Your body’s natural cues feel confusing — or like they’ve disappeared completely.
