How many food choices do you make every day?

How many food choices do you make every day? MSNBC reports we make 200 food choices a day! You would think with making that many choices today we would have better odds at making healthier choices. With obesity rates on the rise, it's obvious most Americans are NOT making good choices when it comes to putting things in their mouths.
It's not that we need to stop enjoying what we're eating - it's that we need to enjoy making healthier choices so we enjoy life more! What we eat affects how we feel, how we deal with stress, and how much energy we have.
Changing how we view our food and what is good vs what is good for us is ultra important if we expect to make a lifestyle change that can sustain permanent results. Really our relationship with food is what we need to focus on - why do we crave doughnuts and pastrys instead of carrots or nuts? Is it really that we don't like carrots or nuts, or is it the memories or special occasions when we got doughnuts or pastrys that we REALLY like about them?
I was just on a call with The Clearing Cure, where we worked on changing the emotions so they don't trigger the cravings so frequently.
