Why Believing You Need to Enjoy Food is Hurting You

-



When was the last time you told yourself brushing you wanted to enjoy brushing your teeth?  My guess is never.  You just know it has to be done, so you have a plan for when you get up, when you go to bed, and maybe in between if you had a little extra garlic 😉.

Fascinating though that when it comes to losing weight all of a sudden the obstacle is you don't "enjoy" what  you are eating.  Our society emphasizes the comfort, and love, and joy in food.  Why do we not focus on the energy it provides us to do amazing things in our lives that can bring us the comfort, love, and joy - without the extra weight?

Imagine if you didn't struggle with all the negative chatter.

What would you be able to focus that brain power on?

Here's the thing my friend.  If you want to change the scale, you need to change the brain.  This is not about just eating carrots and calling it a day.

It is about finding food you love, that loves your body.

It is about finding a plan where you see the results you dream of.

It is about sticking to that plan.

It is about committing to yourself that this time will be the last time.

It is about know morning and night you have your own back.

You can totally do this.

Let me know if you have any question - on occasion I offer free coaching and would love hear what you are struggling with, what I can help you with, and where you dream of going.

How To Stay Out Of Grab-Ass Trouble

I was recently talking with a girlfriend who is in the process of checking out Match for some dating options.  She had a lot going on in her brain, and it had me thinking what marriage, weighing less, or drinking less, have in common.  Being married to one person decreases the chatter in your brain and gives you a lot of freedom with the constraint.  You have committed to that one person - you don’t have to deal with any Tinder swipes, or Match parings - the marriage has taken place, and for the most part, people just honor that commitment. Now - when I talk to clients about setting a protocol for food or drinks there is initially some confusion over what is meant.  Think of a protocol similar to a marriage in that it is a contract, or plan, you are honoring - a commitment to yourself as you move towards your best life.  We set protocols for eating and drinking in order to decrease the chatter of - should I have it, or - I should not have had that, or -...

Are Other People Judging Your Drinking?

May I have all my people pleasers step forward - this is for you.  I think so  many of us care what others think - and often  to the point that you do and act in ways you really don’t want to - but you think if you do they will like you. Here’s what I’ve learned - it doesn’t matter what you do - people are always going to have their own thoughts about you. And if you don’t believe me - think about this -  Have you ever been given a compliment you didn’t really believe or accept because you didn’t think you looked that good?  Have you ever been in an argument and the other person apologized but you didn’t think they were serious and remained angry? Or maybe been on the other side where you apologized and the other person was still angry? So you did and said what you thought was going to make them feel differently - but they didn’t - because they still had their own same thoughts. Not everybody likes peaches right? You could be the juiciest peach ...

Better In the Trash Than on Your Ass

Welcome back to Mindful Weighs Wednesday where we discuss weight loss topics and tools to create the best you. I was recently listening to another weight loss coach who mentioned the food was better in the trash than on your ass.  Of course I chuckled, but it is so true.  Growing up we were always told to finish what was on the plate, but in our large portion society we have to sometimes waste food in order to stay at our ideal weight.   We hate to waste right? But if you are carrying around the extra weight as fat on your body isn't that a waste?   Think about the commitment you have made to yourself.  You have started taking the steps to make decisions in advance by planning your meals, and you eat until you are no longer hungry.  You have a compelling reason you are doing this, and you don’t want to waste your efforts for past beliefs.  I encourage you to remain future focused and really keep thinking about what you want to ...
