DID YOU HAVE AN "EASTER SUNDAY EATING FAIL"? STOPPING OVER EATING IS NOT ABOUT PASSING OR FAILING IT'S ABOUT BUILDING A TOOL BOX OF SYSTEMS

So, I'm going to be transparent here. This week I heard some of my clients say versions of: "I didn't do so great with my food yesterday on Easter Sunday."   Or "I ate more than I planned." Now the transparency part. We went to my dear friend's mother's home for Easter Sunday dinner last Sunday.  A big AWESOME group of amazing Italian family members and all the food that goes along with that. I didn't know what to expect.  I just knew it was going to be awesome. And it was. HAVE YOUR TOOLBOX OF SYSTEMS IN PLACE I had my food tools & systems in place meaning, I had a plan that I was going to only eat until I was 80% full, I had not eaten anything until that meal, so I had plenty of space etc. I had planned to try a treat that was unique to my friend's family (but I wasn't sure what the treat would be until I showed up). And when I got there, there was so much excitement, love & joy, I got a bit distra

WHY WE COMPARE OUR LIFE TO OTHERS & HOW TO STOP (WHICH IRONICALLY CAN HELP YOU STOP EMOTIONAL EATING)

How many of us have spent time on Facebook/Instagram just to come away feeling like your life is not what it "should" be? How many of us have come away sad or depressed or spiraling from doubting our self-worth after comparing ourselves with Facebook/Instagram Land? How many of us have ever been any where, doing anything and we felt the comparison thoughts coming up? You're probably human if so. THIS CAN BE A HUGE REASON WHY WE EMOTIONALLY OVEREAT. The sadness of comparison can be a big emotion that people want to avoid and so many often avoid it by grabbing a treat. We look on social media and compare ourselves. We compare a lot about the relationships and lack of relationships that we see on social media. Many of my clients are not in a relationship. Some of them are in a relationship. I wasn't in a relationship for a REALLY long time. All of us have struggled with relationships at some point. It's part of learning, growing and

DO YOU EVER WAKE UP DREADING THE DAY AHEAD?

Do you ever wake up with a bit of dread about your day? Does that dread ever instinctively cause you to desire a treat?  A sugar filled drink?   A donut? A muffin?  Extra helpings of whatever's in front of you? If so, you are probably a human. There's a really good reason we wake up with dread sometimes.  IT ALL COMES DOWN TO WHAT OUR BRAIN IS THINKING & ASKING WHEN WE WAKE UP EACH DAY. Ask yourself this:  Do you notice yourself waking up with one of these following phrases? I have to.... I need to... I should... It has to be this way.... There's so much to do... If you do, this is usually why we are feeling dread. It's really easy for the brain to go to default, auto-pilot, survival brain thought processes right in the morning as we are waking up because our brain is often not fully "on" yet.  Just notice, do you default to more of the negative or the I have to...I should...thoughts each morning? You may not, I
