The Game Plan For Drinking Less

-


Oh the start of football season - the time of year I lose my husband to work.  As I sat at his college game opener this past weekend I was thinking alot about the ladies I want to help, and how football has so many parallels to the work we do.

Coaches go into each game with a plan. Having a plan is one of the most important tools we use in drinking less. You have learned to over desire alcohol, and now in order to unlearn it, you plan with your managing mind how much you will drink. This is so important to building new neural pathways, and just like in football, takes repetition and practice.  The more you practice, the better you get.

Plays don’t always go as planned. Dropped balls, interceptions, and fumbles are part of the game. But a team doesn’t just stop playing when this happens - and neither should you. You learn from each missed plan, figure out what happened and try again.  We all love when our team comes from behind after a set back.  You too will feel so proud of each step you take, growing into the person you want to become along the way.

There may be hecklers in the stands.  Trust me - I know this as the wife of an Offensive Coordinator.  Everyone knows what you "should do" to win, but only you know what is really going on.  People can always have opinions - and they will, but when you are committed to doing the best for you - you will never lose.

 Inches make a difference.  Sometimes it's everything.  And the work you do to drink less is the same.  This is not about one huge play.  Doing this work is about making small shifts and changes in the way you think about drinking in order to create the life you imagine.  

 The coach teaches, and the player executes.  When you sign up to do the work it is about you learning the tools, and then actually applying what works for you, in order to make your transformation.  You are the hero of your game - don't waste your time sitting on the bench.  Get in and get after the win you are looking for.

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 ...
