It's a holiday weekend and even though I'm not tracking my food, I'm still prioritizing PROTEIN and fiber! It's a simple way to never really get too far off track, and still feel like I've got freedom.
Which is really important!!!!π₯°
The minute I feel restricted, I start to sweat and crave doughnuts. π©π©π©π©
This is a really big thing for me. Having weekends where I know I'm gonna be hanging out with friends and family, eating picnic foods, its great to know that you can totally enjoy the foods you love.ππ
And that doesn't have to flip your switch where you say, screw it, and start shoveling in mac salad with abandon πππ.
This is where you've gotta watch the cognitive distortions, like All-or-Nothing thinking.
If you can't be "perfect ", why bother? You keep starting over every Monday because the plan you're trying to follow is too restrictive.
Yet you refuse to try something with a little more freedom.
You can still get results without restriction. But, you're gonna have to be okay with it taking a little longer.
But you are after a lifestyle change , correct???
Not another diet???
If so, then this flexibility is what you're after, but its a learned behavior. It will take time and support.
This is where a health coach comes in and can help you work through the junk in your head. The destructive pattern of behaviors around food. Obstacles are gonna come up, you know they are!
You can have the best, most foolproof plan in the world and still screw it up. Because YOU are there! And we're creatures of habit. We don't like change. We don't like to be uncomfortable.
Even if what's waiting for us on the other side of that discomfort is the life we're after.
I speak from experience. Whether it's food, alcohol, or on my own unhealthy behaviors and lack of discipline. I have totally been that person. I think we ALL have, so there's no shame in it. We all have our junk!!!!π
