Dieting doesn’t work, so, what does? (3/3)

Step 3: Think in terms of YEARS, not DAYS or WEEKS

Dieting teaches you how to transform your life in 30 days FOR 30 days, but after the diet ends so do the results you worked hard for. 

Instead of asking, “How can I lose weight fast?” you need to ask, “How can I lose weight in a way that will LAST?” 

#hardtruth, it’s going to take longer than you want it to, 

you won’t reach your goal in days or weeks. 

But when you take your time and build skills and habits you can maintain through even the toughest seasons, you’re never at risk of “falling off the wagon” and gaining all the weight back. 

Think of the version of you who has reached her goals. 

  • What does she do consistently? 

  • What does she NOT do consistently? 

  • How does she show up when stress is high and life feels hard? 

  • What skills and habits does she have that allow her to live healthy and happy?

Write ✍️ those down and then list them out in order from least to most challenging.

Start by building the skill that feels the least challenging (even if it seems too easy) and once you’ve mastered it 80% of the time, add a new focus. 

Not only does this build your proficiency over time, it also builds your confidence as you realize what a capable badass you are.

How To Have Your Healthiest, Happiest Holiday Season

Because adopting a “fuck it” mindset until January 1st will only ensure that any progress you make in the future will fall apart this time next year.

The 🔑 to creating a healthy relationship with food and fat loss that lastsss is to learn how to confidently navigate nutrition in ✨every✨ season.

Here are a few of my best tips + tricks:

RE: EVENTS 🥂

1️⃣ Plan ahead. Not every event needs to be a 15 Christmas cookies and cocoa kind of occasion. Identify what means the most to you and commit to making goal-supportive choices outside of those events.

2️⃣ Identify the priority. Is it food? Or the company?

3️⃣ Show up satisfied, not starving

4️⃣ Meet NEEDS and WANTS when filling your plate

RE: MINDSET 🧠

5️⃣ Set realistic expectations regarding progress and outcomes based on how you intend to show up.

6️⃣ Acknowledge that you can eat any food any day of the year, and that this will not be your last holiday

7️⃣ Prioritize flexibility, not perfection

8️⃣ Maintain your basic self-care action steps to minimize stress, overwhelm, and emotional eating
