21.01.2022 I know this seems obvious, but when it comes to our eating, we tend to ignore this ONE fundamental truth.... . I can't tell you how many times I watch people repeat the same ineffective process, while telling (and fooling) themselves it's somehow different.... Here’s what I see most often... 1. Adopt a "new" set of "food rules" (keto, low-carb, intermittent fasting, macro counting, clean eating, etc) 2. Start out motivated and determined 3. Hit a challenge (stress, PMT, sickness, weekend, dinner out, cat vomits on couch) 4. "Break the rules" 5. Feel frustrated and defeated 6. Give up trying 7. Repeat steps 1-6 for the next 30 years. ' " " ( ). You have to change the ENTIRE PROCESS. In fact, completing Step 1 is THE TRIGGER for Steps 2-7. In other words, adopting a "new" food plan is the very thing that guarantees you'll remain stuck in this vicious and ineffective pattern. Problem is, this is precisely what most diets, programs, dietitians or nutrition coaches get you to do. They ask you to focus on the food EVEN MORE. And they keep pushing harder to motivate you to stick to their meal plan. But when you're struggling with binge or emotional eating THIS approach actually makes things WORSE, not better. And you only need to look at your own lived experience for the proof, right? But here's the GOOD NEWS... Thousands of people DO overcome their binge and emotional eating. They just didn't do it by relying on the conventional advice. They didn't do it by counting calories, cutting carbs or eating clean. And they certainly didn't do it by vowing to try harder. They did it by taking charge of the pathways in their brain that were driving them to the food in the first place. Post a comment below and let me know if you agree or disagree. Are you currently stuck in some version of the above 7-step process? And what do you plan to do DIFFERENTLY and BETTER next time? I promise to respond (without judgment) to every comment.

10.01.2022 Nearly 70% of us struggle with our weight or with our eating. Or both. And if you're anything like most people, the solution usually means you have to get more disciplined, right? So it looks something like this... You clear out the pantry; you restock with healthy foods; you hide all the chocolate, you do a weekly food prep; you make lunch the night before, you track your meals; you’re carrying a water bottle everywhere you go; you avoid the staff room at work... You're doing ALL the things. And you're feeling pretty good; everything seems to be dialed in. But then, out of the blue, something happens... May be you got sick. May be a family member got sick. May be you went out to dinner. May be your partner brought pizza home. May be the goldfish died. Perhaps life just suddenly got really hectic or stressful for some reason. Or perhaps you just grew tired of feeling so deprived and restricted. Whatever it was It all unraveled so fast it made your head spin. You fell off the wagon and came crashing back down And now you're right back where it all began with your old habits and patterns again. Now, all the self-blame kicks in, right? Once again you're feeling frustrated and pissed off that things didn't work out. Once again you have to look at yourself in the mirror and admit you feel completely powerless over food. And that sinking sense of hopelessness hits home making you feel like crap. And now your eating goes right off the rails, because you're now reaching for food to buffer against all the self-criticism, frustration, shame and whatever else is bubbling up. So what do you do now? Well, you probably go searching for more structure, more control, another set of rules, or a different plan, so you can start afresh. Sound familiar? The problem is, this kind of on-again-off-again cycle with your eating can last for years, even decades. And every time it happens, we ask ourselves the same question. How do I get back on track? How do I get back on the wagon? But here's the problem You're asking yourself the WRONG question. The only time you can fall off a wagon is when there’s a "wagon" to fall off. But have you ever stopped to think about what your "wagon" actually is? Your "wagon" represents the set of rules or beliefs or expectations around food that you then use to judge how you feel about yourself. "I was so good with my eating yesterday, but today I totally SUCK" Sound familiar? Well here's the thing... As long as there’s a wagon to fall off, you WILL fall off of it... eventually. It's called human nature. It's also called "life". In other words... Falling off is not your problem. Your wagon is your problem. So tell me in the comments... what's YOUR "wagon" look like? What rules and expectations around food, do you set for yourself? And do you think they are helping or hindering your progress? There are a lot of different makes & models of "wagons". I'd love to know what brand yours is.
