Make eating healthy EASIER with this:

If I had to pick one thing that makes adhering to my healthy eating habits easier, hands down, it would be meal planning. 

I’m not talking about the perfectly portioned Tupperware containers lined up in the fridge like you see on Pinterest (although that works well for some people), 

I’m talking about proactively planning for what I need from the grocery store and will prepare in advance in order to make balanced meals and snacks for myself and my family.

We plan for big expenses

We plan for vacations 

We plan for family growth

We plan for almost everything in life that’s important to us, 

so why not plan for successful nourishment before the week gets crazy and we’re stuck trying to make mindful choices with little time and overwhelming stress levels?

When you plan ahead, you set yourself up to succeed rather than relying on in-the-moment motivation to make a goal-supportive choice. 

Most of my clients commit to meal planning of some kind because they know that having a plan allows them to avoid decision fatigue and be proactive about their results.

Cheese crisis averted!

Yesterday, my husband made me breakfast before he went to work. He knows it makes my morning a little easier and extra special when he does, so he went out of his way to do so.

When he came home later in the day he asked me how I liked my eggs and I told him that they were delicious and tasted extra cheesy.

He responded by telling me that he used his usual portion of cheese (2X what I normally use) by accident when making my eggs.

I smiled and told him how much I appreciated him making me breakfast and then immediately acknowledged how much that small serving size error would have ruined my entire day before I repaired my relationship with food.

TWO WHOLE SERVINGS OF CHEESE in my eggs!?

I might have tried to be super strict for the rest of the day or made up for the calories with an extra long workout. 🙄

And the way I spoke to my husband wouldn’t have been kind, gentle, or grateful as a result of my unhealthy relationship with both food and my body.

But because I’ve put in the work to:

• make peace with food,

• honor my hunger and fullness cues

• understand how to nourish, love, and respect my body,

• unsubscribe from Diet Culture rules and restriction, and

• embrace an all-foods-fit mentality

Two servings of cheese in my eggs simply meant I enjoyed an extra cheesy breakfast and moved on with my day without any guilt, fear, punishment, or shame.

And for that, I am incredibly thankful.
