You may believe your self-esteem is tied to the number you see on the scale. Many people do. Some become so focused on what they eat and how much they weigh that it compromises their quality of life. They detect a weight gain and feel down about themselves. They notice a drop in pounds and their spirits magically lift.

Basing happiness on the scale can be physically and emotionally draining. Take this advice from Eating Disorders Awareness and Prevention, Inc. — Don’t weigh your self-esteem, it’s what’s inside that counts.

Now is the time to enjoy power foods that both nourish your body and make you feel good. Here’s a few.

- Fish and chicken
- Lean beef
- Fruits and veggies
- Whole-grain breads and cereals
- Milk, yogurt, and cheese
