Normal eating is being able to use moderate constraint in your food selection to get the right foods, but not being so restrictive that you miss out on pleasurable foods. Normal eating is giving yourself permission to sometimes eat because you are happy, sad, bored, or just because it feels good.
Normal eating is three meals a day, or it can be choosing to munch along.
It is leaving some cookies on the plate because you know you'll have more tomorrow, or eating more now because they taste so wonderful when they are fresh. It is undereating at times and wishing you had more. Normal eating is trusting your body to make up for your mistakes in eating. Normal eating takes up some of your time and attention, but keeps its place as only one important area in your life. In short, normal eating is flexible.
