Progress rather than perfection

Have you reached the point with health & diet that just feels overwhelming? If so, I hear you…I’ve been there myself.
.
That’s why i feel it’s important to remind you that perfection right now may not be the goal.
.
In the past when I was stuck in diet culture, My weight was never “good enough” until I got to that certain number (destination addiction, ya know?) that is how I felt anyhow.
.
Now I realize that it is important to create awareness of the current moment and what works best in this moment while working toward my ideals in life in general.
.
What i mean by this is that I’m learning to focus on the current moment rather than worrying about my entire life and how it will all play out.
.
What has helped me a lot is to realize that when I know what feeling I want to have more of in the future, it actually helps my brain to find ways to create that.
.
My point being…you don’t have to have all the answers today. Rather by leaning into the current moment and recognizing you can figure out this current days challenges, you create trust for yourself that you can figure out challenges that may come up in the future as well.
.
You too can create resilience so food becomes a way to nourish your body rather than a coping mechanism.
.
If you are ready to learn more about psychology of eating and have personal support on your journey to FOOD FREEDOM, just send me a message. ❤

How do you relate?

Hey fellow eater,
.
If you’ve struggled with emotional eating, I’m curious about something…
Have you ever noticed that it is easier to stick to your diet plan when you feel happy? Cuz I certainly have.
.
And I definitely feel a lot happier when I’m getting along well with my hubby.
I’m sure you can relate if you’ve been married for awhile too…
.
One thing that I’ve realized helps us get along better is to be sure to tell him thank you. Being honest, after 17 years of marriage I’ve realized it is easy for me to take simple things for granted…but focusing on the positive helps so much.
.
It’s a fact, what you focus on…you end up with more of. (So maybe if i thank him for doing dishes, he’ll always want to do them.) ?
.
So even though I’m human and can always find something to complain about, I am working to focus on what I DO appreciate.
.
Drop a comment below to share what you are grateful for.
.
And if you’re ready to overcome emotional eating for good, send me a message. I’m here for you! You too can find FOOD FREEDOM!

Do you actually need motivation?


Hey fellow eater ❤
.
Let’s talk about motivation for a minute. If you’ve been dieting for years and still aren’t at your goal weight…maybe you think if you could just stay motivated, you would stick to your diet plan and lose the weight.
.
I get it, I’ve been where you are at. That’s why I’m excited to introduce a different idea…cuz it’s helped me SO much.
.
What I’ve found I actually needed was resilience. 

⭐️ Resilience was the moment I could forgive myself for how I reacted to the past and choose to respond instead of react in the future.
⭐️ Resilience is the moments I find myself triggered but choose (again!) to respond to future events rather than stay stuck.
⭐️ Resilience is the choose to practice living in the present moment rather than letting the past dictate my view of the current & future situations of my life.

If you too can talk yourself up anytime you fall off but find yourself stuck in the same pattern of yo-yo dieting; if you wish you could just find the motivation to lose the weight for good….I understand ?

Those most dear…

Are you a stress eater too?
.
Oh girl, I get it. And let’s be honest…sometimes those closest to us can stress us out most. (I love you, dear husband…but yeah, I get it) ?? 
.
However, what I have realized since breaking free from diet culture is this – I used to have such a fixed mindset and when I think In that way it’s easy to assume things (what he meant or how he feels even) but by getting curious and asking more questions…we are learning to communicate better. ?
.
As I learn to ask more and better questions; I feel less stressed, he feels more understood and I feel more validated in what I share as well. ?
.
Of course, in every relationship there is always more to learn…but I love him more than when I met him 18 years ago (and that’s a LOT!) Martin Seiter ?
.
And my relationship with food is much more balanced too! ? 
.
If/when you are ready to dive in and create results that last long term, I’m here for you. ❤️

“Until then remember, you were meant for more than JUST dieting!”
