Got dressed up for a fancy dinner night and apparently channeled my inner 90’s boyfriend. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Thanks for the inspiration 😂

🤷🏽‍♀️ Eating Clean⁣

⁣
🤦🏽‍♀️ Sick of eating clean and eat 3 donuts in the break room…⁣
🤦🏽‍♀️ Forget your packed lunch and get fast food because … F it.⁣
🤦🏽‍♀️ Get the seasonal latte because you won’t be able to get it again until next year…⁣
🤦🏽‍♀️ Get the dessert because you’ve already screwed up, then proceed to eat everything “bad” in your pantry so you don’t temp yourself again when the diet starts on Monday. ⁣
⁣
And the cycle continues… 🙃⁣

You think you’re doing all the right things…⁣but in reality, you’re only making it worse.⁣
⁣
A client I’m working with came to me with an incredibly toxic relationship with food. ⁣
𝗛𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝘆𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗼𝗺𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲…⁣
⁣
🌪️ Binge/overeating one day then restricting the next⁣
🌪️ Constantly thinking about food with anxiety, guilt, shame, and stress⁣
🌪️ Eating less for punishment for what you ate the day before.⁣
🌪️ Ignoring hunger and skipping meals⁣
🌪️ Fearing certain foods like sweets, carbs, sugars or fats.⁣
🌪️ Chronic dieting⁣
🌪️ Focusing on the scale over your health.⁣
🌪️ Exercising for punishment.⁣
🌪️ Black or white thinking, "I ate a cookie with my salad so today is wasted, I might as well binge on all foods today and start again on Monday."⁣
⁣
𝗔 𝗳𝗲𝘄 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗚𝗡𝗘𝗗 𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗠, 𝘀𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀…⁣
⁣
“I never thought that healing my relationship with food was the problem. It sounded kinda hokey to be honest. Like, yeah I’ll do that once I lose the weight first. But after going through your course, I never realized that I was doing it backwards the whole time. Mindset IS the key here. And all these diet rules were what created this restrictive, binge monster inside me in the first place.⁣
⁣
Get this… I went to our annual neighborhood BBQ… and for the first time EVER… I got one plate of food and didn’t even touch the dessert table! And you know what the craziest part was??? I didn't miss it at all! 😱⁣
⁣
Christi, I haven't had any overeating issues since I began working with you. I can’t even remember the last time I felt this stable and confident around food.⁣
⁣
I've even had a couple of nights where I passed up my ice cream and didn't even have my go-to snacks at night! I just didn’t want them. And the best part is, I’m not panicking about when my next meal is or how I’m going to eat at the restaurant tonight.⁣
⁣
So now, I’m a believer in healing your relationship with food. Feeling real good about my life right now, Christi!”⁣

This picture is worth a thousand words. 🥰⁣
I took this pic tonight as we were cuddling before bedtime.⁣
⁣
𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱’𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝙗𝙚𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝗜 𝘄𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗺𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗼𝗺 𝗷𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆…⁣
⁣
💭 “Ewww! Look at that cellulite!”⁣
💭 “The lighting is AWFUL here! No way this is how it looks in real life… right… RIGHT?!”⁣
💭 “What happened to you, Christi? Why did you let yourself go like this?”⁣
💭 “Is that a bruise and an … indent!!? Oh my God, I can’t even look at myself right now.”⁣
💭 “I need to go on a diet ASAP! I’m disgusted with myself!”⁣
⁣
⁣
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗻𝗼𝘄…⁣
⁣
💭 “Me and my Boy 💙”⁣
⁣
⁣
My body will never be perfect… but 𝗜 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝘆 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸… 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝘆 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲. ⁣
⁣
Because even when I had the perfect body, it was never good enough and food was all I could think about. I was actually more stressed when I was 40 pounds leaner because that was not my body to keep and I had to fight like hell to keep it there… at the cost of my family and happiness.⁣
⁣
I had to give up the things I loved like date nights out, drinks with my girls, and sports I love and play now like tennis… because my rigid 6 day a week gym schedule left me no excess energy. 😥⁣
⁣
It’s up to you to decide what your life goals are. But mine sure as hell don’t include chronically dieting, constantly fighting with the number on the scale, and trying to stay away from all the “bad foods” that only seemed to multiply when I was out. 🚫⁣
⁣

And we are taught that if we hit those 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘴 𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘴, then we are in control. ⁣

But when you remove that arbitrary bu****it, all that's left is 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 instead of making yourself lose weight because you have to check a box.⁣

⁣
Big bursts of expectations like, “𝘐 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘸𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵,” build pressure. ⁣
⁣
Instead, use small steps of effort like, “𝘐 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘥𝘥 𝘢 𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘷𝘦𝘨𝘨𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘺 𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵,” in order to build up new habits in a sticky and consistent way. ⁣

MY AHA MOMENT AND TURNING POINT IN MY JOURNEY…⁣
⁣
I sent an email out to my SUNDAY SCARIES email list that would help them feel more in control when eating out. And I wanted to share a few of my tips here as well, to help you 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱. (Link in bio to join our crew 📝 and you’ll get a free download of my PLATE BUILDING SYSTEM to End Binge Eating with it as well. 🤟🏽)⁣
⁣
⁣
𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘 𝗪𝗘 𝗚𝗢!⁣
⁣
🤯 You’ll get to a point where you feel like nothing is working, sticking or sinking in. But ultimately, you’ll know deep down inside what to do if you just trust yourself and keep working through it. ⁣
⁣
🤯 Don’t turn this into another black and white version of a diet. There are no perfect days of intuitive eating, so don’t expect them. ⁣
⁣
🤯 Giving up control will actually help you gain more control. ⁣
⁣
🤯 The more variety you have (flavors and textures) the more satisfying your meal will be. ⁣
⁣
🤯 Focus on the experience you want to have rather than how “good” or “bad” the foods are.⁣
⁣
🤯 Remember, this food isn’t going away and you can always have more later. ⁣
⁣
🤯 Eating more when you’re not hungry will ruin the experience you want to have for the night. ⁣
⁣
🤯 Use words like “and/both” rather than “either/or” when deciding what to eat.⁣

YOU CAN BE HEALTHY WITHOUT BEING ON A DIET…⁣
⁣
You can also be healthy while being on a diet.⁣
⁣
But I am not one of those people who can be on a diet for the rest of my life. Nor do I want to be.⁣
⁣
👊🏽 I love golf and tennis⁣
👊🏽 I crave competitive sports⁣
👊🏽 I can’t live without fruits and veggies⁣
👊🏽 I desire routine⁣
👊🏽 I thrive with movement & mobility⁣
⁣
But I also…⁣
⁣
🤸🏽‍♀️ love a cold beer and pizza ⁣
🤸🏽‍♀️ crave a good Netflix binge⁣
🤸🏽‍♀️ can’t live without Baileys in my coffee⁣
🤸🏽‍♀️ desire a lazy day every now and then⁣
🤸🏽‍♀️ thrive on rest and relaxation ⁣
⁣
I used to think I had to be one or the other. Either 𝗢𝗡 the “health wagon” or 𝗢𝗙𝗙. ⁣
⁣
But instead of “𝗲𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿/𝗼𝗿” I now choose “𝗮𝗻𝗱” as well as “𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗵.”⁣
⁣
🤷🏽‍♀️ Why can’t I get a beer after tennis with the girls?⁣
⁣
🤷🏽‍♀️ Why can’t I take my cover-up off at the pool even if my body isn’t as lean as it used to be?⁣
⁣
These are all things I have learned that come with living my life of balance, not perfection.⁣

𝗕𝗔𝗟𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘 is not weakness, it’s freedom.⁣
⁣
But when you try and pair 𝗕𝗔𝗟𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘 with an 𝗘𝗫𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗠𝗘, like limiting your calories to 1,200 or eliminating carbs completely, it leads you further away from 𝗕𝗔𝗟𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘 & MODERATION.⁣
⁣
So, if you’re looking for 𝗕𝗔𝗟𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘 & moderation, take out the 𝗘𝗫𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗦.⁣
⁣
And remember that 𝗕𝗔𝗟𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘 is not a small pin point on a line, because that would make it another 𝗘𝗫𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗠𝗘. Instead, think of it as a broad range of gray between the black and the white. ⁣
